Adding more 12 volt outlet

I want to add some 12 volt outlets in the back seat area for kids to play games, watch videos or whatever as we take long trips. Will I need relay for this to handle the load and to make it come on only when the truck is running?

    Just putting in my 2 cents, I would not personally connect a power outlet so that the power is only on when the key is on. For me, its always hot all the time.I can't tell you how many times I've wished our minivan had power on the outlets when not running, or when the key was out. Take a #18 wire straight from the battery with a 5A fuse, and that's all you'll ever need.
