Some folks can rely on their in-car DVD players or video game consoles for a little road peace, but if you’re entertaining a decidedly younger crowd, consider going low-tech. The Kicky Pants AutoMobile offers car-seated kids entertainment that dangles from the ceiling, which means no crying over dropped toys. The AutoMobile is a stretchy strap that can be secured around the “oh crap” handles above windows. It includes plastic rings that can be used to transform the toys you already have into mobiles that can dangle over front or rear-facing child seats. Unlike the other new fangled car systems, this one costs only $19.99.
