Gripdaddy Headrest Mounts ($60) Kids don’t like to sit still and car journeys can be pretty grueling if you don’t have something prepared to amuse them. How about using your iPad? Gripdaddy offers two mounts. One is the traditional back of the headrest mount, the V2 HDR. For those of us with multiple kids, there’s the V2 ARM which cleverly slides the screen out from the headrest so it can be situated in the middle of the two front seats. That makes for perfect viewing for the whole backseat. Since the mounts are adjustable you’ll find you can usually leave your iPad case on as well, which is extra convenient.
