Are we there yet? She pinched me! Are we there yet? He poked me.

Some road trips, there is simply no music soothing enough to save you from the noise in the backseat.

Except, perhaps, the sweet sound of everyone back there listening contentedly to music. In which case, you’d better put the new Sansa Shaker on the to-pack list, quick.

Made for kids age 8 and up, the small, can-shaped player comes in bold blue or hot pink and is super easy for little hands to manipulate. It switches songs when shaken, and when that gets old, there’s also a controller band. The device comes with two headset jacks plus a built-in speaker and can hold up to 125 songs with its included memory card.

Also in Sansa’s package: plenty of colorful stickers for customizing, so fights over which player belongs to whom simply won’t happen.

And that, friends, is music to any parent’s ears.
