There is a difference in using electronics and expecting them to babysit your kids.

I wouldn’t know. Never tried them.

I had my 6 year old do it for me.

I’m sure that’s how some ended up with kids

For those worried about blocking rear view, I just use a touch screen rearview mirror with dual camera DVR. I run a bedrack, so can't see out the window anyway.

As a child in the backseat on those long cross-country vacations, when not looking out the windows and taking pictures and learning about beautiful America, ?? I looked at the road atlas for hours. ?

I knew all about geography at a very early age! ?

Tell the rear passenger to hold the tablet with their hands... ?

This! Although I have a "no electronics during the daylight hours" rule. They can color, look outside, have a conversation etc while the sun is up. Once there is nothing to look at they can have tablet or phone time.

Amen. By 10, I was navigating around cities and traffic etc..
BTW, I got my first smart phone last fall, when my carrier stopped supporting my old flipper. My daughter had one 4 years ago at 10. Since she does extra curricular outside of school and there are no pay phones or land lines anywhere, she got my wife's old phone.

The sound bar behind the dome light in order to mount a scosche magic mount for rear passenger tablet mounting entertainment for a upcoming road trip. Any wires in the sound bar near that location that could be a problem?

Almost 40 posts of opinions….. ? what did you end up doing!? ????

I went for it. Confirmed no wire issues.

non-road trip mode: insanely solid. Whole truck shakes when I grab the mounting ball and give it a push/pull. 3m red back tape and used small trim screws to mount. Crossed my mind to use plastic rivets. Jury is out. I don’t mind the holes - doesn’t look terrible. Doesn’t stand out too much when entire mount is removed.

Road trip mode. I took the forum parenting advice and actually saved a few bucks by downloading a rubix cube app to keep the kids busy, so they’re not watching movies on the mounted tablet all the time. I like the idea of an atlas to keep them busy too and add additional navigators! Any suggestions for a maps type app that shows roads/cities etc?

the scosche magic mount xl mount is a very nice unit, all aluminum really great pickup for the price. I’ve had the headrest type mounts before and wasn’t really impressed with their durability and ability to hold a tablet.
