Summary: baby einstein
Review: My granddaughter is glued to the tv when this video is on, she has loved it since she got it at 6 months, I am just sorry that we did not know about it sooner. She is now almost 13 months old and will go and get the video and bring it to us to put in the VCR for her.

Summary: Excellent, Will Keep Baby Entertained
Review: My 6-month old loves to smile at certain images, and she loves to hear the songs in all of the different languages. I play it for her once every day, and so she gets excited when I go near the VCR.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: My 2.5 month old baby almost always falls asleep when she's in her swing. I put her in her swing in front of the TV and put in the Baby Einstein video. Not only did she stay awake, she ooh'd and ah'd at the colors on the screen, and followed the toys as they moved on the screen with her eyes! The same holds true for the Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein videos (the Baby Einstein lullaby CD is excellent as well).

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This video is wonderful! I was sure that Jesica, being only 4 months old, would have no interest in this video as she doesn't with most everything else on television. But this video is very exciting to her. She will talk to the objects she sees. I am very proud to have this for her and look forward to getting Baby Bach and Baby Mozart to switch them out for variety.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: I think the video is wonderful (along with the Mozart and Bach versions). I was not looking for Julie Clark to teach my son anything, other than give him a little entertainment that was age appropriate. The bottom line: he liked it and I didn't feel like I was "sticking" my kid in front of cartoons etc.

Summary: Good, but sometimes fustrating
Review: There is no doubt that this is one of the best baby videos around. However, there are many irritants to me.1: The nursery rhymes in English are ruined (you can't sing along with the video) because the narrator doesn't use rhythm, but pauses for expression. Even after a few dozen playings, she still catches me out when I try to join in. There's lots of rhythm in the foriegn sections, you can handclap along, but it's a shame that you can't sing along to the English sections. 2: Diction of the English sections: for example, "Little" is pronounced "liddel" instead of "Lit-el". Not what I want my children to Learn 3: Maybe just on the PAL version, but probably on the US NTSC version: The difference between orange and red on the "stacking rings" section are so subtle to confuse all but the brightest child (or adult). 4: Dubbing: The xylophone section; if your older child tries to play this on their own toy, they get fustrated. The reason is that the notes they see hit on the screen don't match the song they hear. Additionally, try explaining to a child that although the xylophone on the telly makes a different sound if you hit the top or middle of a key, theirs doesn't. A bit more time in finding a bigger xylophone wouldn't have gone amiss. The Metronone: It doesn't take a bright child to work out that their metronone at home clicks in the middle of a swing, not at the edges. 4: There are too many "boring" passages. While I agree that one shouldn't overstimulate, my 1-year old just loses interest at still images of flowers, dolls, shapes, etc, again and again. The patterns go down better than the photographs, by the way. 5: Sometimes there is an unreal quality, as if the tape is slowing down or speeding up suddenly. Overall, the video is poor: saturated colours, for example. Having said all this, it's still VERY good. Bits I particularly like are the repeating jack-in-the-box, which always causes the kids to look up when they hear the music start, and overall the music is very good, I think.

Summary: In praise of "Baby Einstein"
Review: This "video board book" does a number of things very well. Much like a standard board book, it shows infants bright, high-contrast images. But this video version also plays soothing and sometimes spunky melodies. It also lets children hear speakers of more than half a dozen foreign languages, including Hebrew, Russian and Japanese. This feature of the video is confusing to many parents of potential viewers. Will the video teach junior to speak one of the foreign languages on the tape? Not exactly. Will it make junior a little Einstein? Not exactly. What good is it, then? What the video DOES do is help the mind preserve many of the nerve synapses in the brain which would otherwise be destroyed as the infant matures into a toddler. Imagine a Bonsai tree, of which some of its miniature limbs and branches are trimmed because they are not useful to the tree as a whole. The body does the same thing to unused mental synapses sometime around the first and second years of life. And they don't grow back. Now think about all the funny comedy scenarios you've seen where a Japanese tourist says something like, "Herro, I'm rooking for Horrywood, Carifornia." Why do his Ls sound like Rs? Because there is NO "R" sound (phoneme) in the Japanese language. And because our tourist never heard that sound in his infancy, he cannot now, as an adult, discern it from the phonemically-similar "L" sound. Infants hearing a variety of phonemes foreign to English-speaking people at this young age will preserve the synapses that are sensitized (from birth) to these sounds. And this video does just that. So while the video will not teach junior the foreign language, if he tries to learn the language later, he will have an easier time of it, because he will be sensitized to that language's sounds. And while junior perhaps will not be an Einstein for watching, he will come away from the experience with more synapses in his brain than had he not watched. Also be aware that none of this is pop psychology -- it is well-researched and tested fact, taught in most undergraduate and graduate psychology, speech and linguistics classes today (See the producer's Web site for details). Finally, as other reviewers have said better than I have, the video is a lot of fun for you and junior to watch together! And perhaps THAT is the selling point for prospective parents who want the best for their little ones.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!
Review: My son absolutely loved this video when he was a baby (he's now a toddler), as well as Baby Mozart. Even now he occasionally asks to see Baby Mozart! We had all 3 (Baby Mozart, Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) so that we could rotate them, and that worked really well. The So Smart! videos are also really good, although admittedly not as entertaining for the adults as Baby Einstein,Mozart,etc.!! I also recommend the Baby's First Impressions videos for babies 8 months and up - we got several of them when our son outgrew Baby Mozart, and now as a toddler they are some of his favorites. ENJOY! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU GOT BABY EINSTEIN/BABY MOZART/BABY BACH!!
