Default MacBook Pro and car charger ??

I have a MacBook Pro and would like to know if it would be possible to charge it (long car journey/ Grandchildren/ dvd etc) from the cigarette lighter socket in the car ? I assume some sort of adapter would be required ?

Cheers
Brian.

Do you have one of these?
