This product requires an electrical outlet. So if your vehicle has a standard plug like the one in your house then you can plug in and use in your car. I wouldnt reccommend using this while driving. But as a passenger, sure!

I haven't used it in the car. but it should work fine. The only concern I would have there is stability. The box it came in works pretty good as far as a surface goes. But i think you would take something with you in the car to play it on. And I'm not sure the battery would last a very long road trip. The cable is 2 or 3 feet long. It's a cool little speaker, but not sure about the use of it in the car. :)

Yes, I've done so. Can carry the radio in a backpack or on your belt. Not safe in traffic. Best to use it when you stop cycling.

I use it in my car with an Ipod. I have walked it off as far as 65 ft from the car and works great! I like it so much, I bought one for my son!

It's not designed as portable power. It should be mounted in a vehicle with a permanent connection to the battery. I paralleled 1/0 leads from my batteries on my diesel truck. The alternator size will determine how long you can run a large load, I can run 1500 watts for 30 minutes with the engine running before the battery level drops too low to continue. My alternator is only a 60 amp.

I consider it quite portable, it is light weight, and we move it around the house all the time. I think it would travel well in a car, it is not huge or heavy. A good feature seems to be the way it doesn't drain the battery when left "on"... if no one is playing or it is not in auto play mode, it must shut down to preserve battery, even if you accidentally leave it in "on" position (which my granddaughter does all the time). We purchased the wall AC device but haven't ever felt a need to use it.

Yes, the parent unit is definitely portable. I take it with me to the backyard all the time!

Not while driving, but I do not know why a passenger would not be able to. You need a good AC to DC converter though.

I am not sure if it is specifically for travel, but I have used it while traveling by car, and it is small and easy to carry...haven't traveled with it by plane, but would be easy to do...:)

Yes, it is very portable, but you need fold the book stand, and it has certain weight. I suggest to carry it in a bag nothold on like a big book.

I've used it the entire time of driving however just to be o the safe side I would not leave something plugged in it overnight. Expecially if you have an older battery.

It's not super portable but I (female) have no problem scooting it around as I need. It does not fold up and go in a car or anything....

It can only be used stand alone. We use it for road trip, it works very well.

No. Thats not what they meant by portable. It plugs into a standard AC outlet. They just meant you can carry it around from chair to chair.

Yes its true, not sure if I would take it traveling unless you are going to pack it in a vehicle for road travel sure!

It has a re-chargeable battery inside of it, so to answer your question yes, it's portable and it lasts quite a bit, up to several hours before it needs to be plugged back in again for recharge.
