Can it play Blu-ray discs?

No. It is a DVD player, so it plays standard DVDs and CDs, not Blu-ray discs.

Does it need to be plugged in?

No. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so it works away from an outlet. Charge time and play time depend on volume and screen brightness.

The listed features cover disc playback only. There is no USB or memory card playback stated, so plan on using DVDs and CDs.

A 9.5-inch screen is workable for one or two viewers close up, such as in a car. It is small for a group in a room.

A portable player of this type normally has a headphone jack for private listening. Check the connections on the unit you receive.

Yes, for disc playback. The clamshell design and physical buttons are easy for children, and there are no apps or accounts to manage.
