4 iPad car mounts. a.k.a. 4 ways to avoid hearing "are we there yet?"
With holiday car travel hitting its peak this week (oh lord, I'm fearing I-95 on Wednesday), we know that the iPad has become the new DVD player--a good way to keep the kids occupied, happy, and of course, quiet.

Here, just a few of the cool gadgets we've found recently that can make it easier to keep the iPad hung on the car seat with care, with hopes that the destination soon will be there.  -Liz

Griffin Cinema Seat
We always love Griffin's sturdy, thoughtfully designed techcessories and the Cinema Seat (also shown above) is no exception. It's as simple as popping your iPad in the case, then hooking the elastic strap around the driver's side seat. And it's wildly affordable.  ($14.99 from our affiliate Amazon)



The CoulVue iPad Mount
This is an especially great choice if you've got more than one kid in the back seat, since it mounts between the two front seats and has excellent swivel and adjustability. We recently reviewed it and we're 100% sold. ($79.99)





GripDaddy Headrest Mounts
While we haven't tried this one out ourselves yet, this looks like a decent bet if you use the iPad in the car a lot. You have to install a device onto the back of the headrest, which seems to take a little more effort than most. But it does look wildly secure once it's on. See the video for a helpful demo. ($59.95)



iPadKet
This system is like an elastic mount that goes over the headrest, with a slot that the iPad snaps into securely. I like the idea that the elastic anchors your device vertically, which seems like it will give it more stability than the ones that snap on horizontally. ($49.99)
