Summary: Absolute Godsend!
Comment: I was given this video from a friend when my baby was born. At first I couldnt understand the point as my baby didnt seem interested at all but then I tried it again when she was 5 months old and suddenly realised what everyone had been talking about. My baby is facinated by the music and pictures and I get 20 or so minutes where she is completely enthralled to get on with the things I never seem to be able to do in the day when she is awake. I have been so impressed that I am ordering other videos from this series and will also make sure any friends and family get these as presents when their babies arrive - its alot more useful than cuddly toys or babygros! I cant recommend this series enough!

Summary: overrated and far too short
Comment: I'd heard good things about the Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein videos, but the two babies I tried them with (25 months and 9 months) just weren't interested, and 27 minutes is way too short. Get a Teletubbies video instead.

Summary: Baby Einstein
Comment: My daughter first viewed Baby Einstein when she was almost 2yrs old - the recommended age is up to 18 months - however, she loved it and now, at over 3 yrs she is still enjoying it.
She first viewed baby Mozart at about 1 yr and loved it, then progressed to Baby Bach and later to Baby van Gogh / Shakespeare / Doolittle / Beethoven / Newton - basically all the possible videos available in the range - some of which I had to buy direct from the company in America. She also has a number of Baby Einstein toys, cd's and books, including some of the puppets and, even now, asks if there are any new ones coming out!
Overall they were one of the best buys I have ever made. All have been well watched and, if she sees a painting in a book will recognise a Van Gogh (as seen on the video), equally, hearing a piece of classical music will say "that's from Bach or from Beethoven" etc. She has a love of music and poetry, even at such a young age and I'm sure watching these videos regularly has played a part in it. The music is also very relaxing for the parent hearing it time and time again - unlike many of the usual children's theme tunes.
My daughter has a large collection of all sorts of childrens videos, all of which have been regularly watched, but I still think the Baby Einstein range is her favourite.
I have awarded this particular video 4 stars, whereas I would give 5 to all the others in the range, simply because this was the first one to be made by the company, it is more basic than the others - because it was made at home by a mother initially to entertain her own children and it later became available to the public. The others in the range have built on the success of this basic one and widened the audience. Many of the later issues are geared to children up to 4 yrs and are much more professional productions. I have also enjoyed receiving the latest editions to the collection as each one includes some footage of the children of the founder, Julie Aigner-Clark and it has been interesting to see them develop and grow too.
Now the company has been sold to Disney and I believe it is their intention to develop the range further to cater for older children. I'm looking forward to their next endeavours.

Summary: stimulating for baby - time out for mum!
Comment: My, now 1 year old, has been watching this and Baby Mozart and Baby Bach from the age of a few weeks. They have captivated him from the outset and provided me with 20 or so precious minutes of 'time-out' (yes, I know you are supposed to interact with the baby whilst watching the video, but I'm not perfect!). One year on, and we have 'progressed' to Baby Van Gogh and Shakespeare - with the same amazing results. We have loads of other children's videos (Teletubbies, Tweenies, Bear in the Big Blue House, etc) but NONE hold his attention the way these do and as a result, he is enthralled by all classical music where-ever he hears it.

Summary: Great video - my son loved it from 4 months upwards
Comment: This was the first Baby video I bought and my son absolutely loves it. He started watching it from 4 months and as soon as the opening credits come on his face lights up. I have now bought him the baby mozart video and it took a while before he had the same reaction but now he loves it too.

If you've been around babies in the last few years, you will have seen these newfangled toys that are abstract in colour (or just black, white and red) and make curious, crunching noises. Studies have shown these types of toys stimulate new-borns, expanding the capacity of their little sponge-like minds, a concept that comes to the video age in Baby Einstein. This 30-minute tape is called a "video board book" and the creators instruct parents of babies from one to 18 months old to huddle around the TV while it plays, pointing out objects and interacting with the child as you would with a book. Bright toys, patterns, blocks, and the like move across the screen accompanied by natural sounds, music and voices. English, Japanese, Russian, German and other languages are heard telling nursery rhymes or counting to 20. Now, the creators don't expect your baby to recite "Humpty Dumpty" in Spanish by the end of the tape but, as they state in the introduction, hearing different languages invigorates a baby's mind. These educators went on to combine classical music with their program on Baby Mozart. --Doug Thomas
