Editorial Reviews:

It's called "the Mozart Effect," the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It's a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to the bouncy recordings (using vibraphone, Rhodes electric piano, and even a glockenspiel). The melodies are heard against colorful imagery of spinning tops, wave machines, soft baby toys, mobiles, and the like. Several parenting groups and magazines have heralded the tapes for children 1 to 36 months, but the Orwellian aspect of introducing babes in arms to the TV screen may cause many to just pick up the CD. --Doug Thomas

1 out of 5 stars No Einstein's here   July 15, 2008
Jen (Bay Village, Ohio United States)
After swearing that I would adhere to the pediatrician's recommendation to keep my son away from the TV until he was two, I broke down and ordered the oh-so touted Baby Einstein DVD for my 4 month old. After all, I needed time to do things around the house and my son is not a napper.

Well, after 5 minutes of watching the video with my son, I was horribly motion sick and he was completely uninterested. I mean he literally glanced at it 2 or 3 times and promptly looked away. And why wouldn't he? The video is stupid--bad closeups of cheap crap that someone decided would hold the attention of a baby? Backrounded by horrible renditions of classical music classics.

Do yourself a favor, buy a REAL Mozart CD, put it on and click on the Weather Channel. The moving maps and quick graphics hold my son's attention, and show him the states and cities on top of that. He might acutally learn something in that hour rather than be "entertained" by really bad graphics and cheap objects on a black screen.



5 out of 5 stars baby loves it!   July 14, 2008
Alli Miller
My baby loves this video. I've even caught my husband, as well as my 8-year-old daughter peering over her book watching this video.


1 out of 5 stars Grape soda for the mind -- do not buy   June 28, 2008
REB (Cambridge, MA USA)
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.

Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.



3 out of 5 stars Typical Baby Einstein   June 25, 2008
73mph (Somewhere in Time)
Nothing new. It's your typical Baby Einstein. With Backyardigans, Dora, Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, and other interactive cartoons, Baby Einstein doesn't really offer anything.

With today's technology and computers for families, I almost feel I could make a video of the same caliber that would offer more images for my children to relate to.



4 out of 5 stars Good but marred by ads   June 17, 2008
S. P. Pagiola (Arlington, VA, USA)
The video itself is great, but I find it abhorrent that it begins and ends with ads (for other products by the Baby Einstein company). If some beancounter at Disney felt that they really had to include ads, they could easily have added a menu choice offering information on their other related products. But no, they placed a video announcement for these products right within the play -- as the first thing you see after selecting play, and the last thing after the video itself ends. So you'll get to hear those ads each and every single time you play the DVD.
