Summary: Loved Baby Mozart!
Review: I absolutely loved Baby Mozart! My 4 1/2 month old loves it also. I put her in front of the TV in her bouncer and turn the movie on. She doesn't take her eyes off the TV until its over. The music is relaxing for both of us and the designs and colors are so stimulating for her eyes. I have recommended this to every mother and mother-to-be I know. I am looking foward to buying the other videos as my daughter gets older.

Summary: Best for 0 to 2-year-olds
Review: The toys, animals and movements are captivating. Creative use of objects draws attention to the wonderful music of Mozart. Very age-appropriate for 0 to 2-year-olds. Children who watched this bubbled with laughter. They seemed attentive to Mozart and requested replays. At the end of the viewing, kids requested more "dance" music: "I know that song!"

Summary: Best of the Baby Einstein series
Review: My 5 month old daughter loves Baby Mozart! The video is quite simple--just brief shots of various toys--but she loves watching the colors, movement, lights, and listening to the music and sound effects. In fact, she gets mad if anyone stands in the way of the TV! She doesn't pay as much attention to the other Baby Einstein videos we have (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach and Baby Van Gogh)--she would rather watch Baby Mozart over and over.

Summary: Parents time alone!
Review: If you find that your baby does not allow you to get a crumb of food or go to the bathroom, this tape will! I cannot say enough good things about it! It entertains my daughter every morning while I take a shower, get a cup of coffee, go to the bathroom etc... It is a miracle. I started using it around 3 mo. old and she is 5 1/2 mo. now and acts like it is the first time she has seen it when she watches it. She giggles out of sheer delight every time she hears Mozart's music now. The other tapes in the series do not hold her interest like this one. Very worth the money!

Summary: A Fantastic Find!
Review: Ok I am not one to advocate just sticking a child infront of the TV and leaving them there. Unless something like Baby Mozart is on the screen! My daughter has been watching this since she was 6 months old and she loves it. (She's 8 months old now) It keeps her entertained and helps her learn things. She no longer just trys to eat her toys she emulates what she see's in the videos. The best part about this DVD is that is calms her down! If she is fussy and out of control my wife and I both just look at each other and say "Baby Mozart". It works like a charm everytime. She calms down and laughs and you can watch her eyes following things on the screen. It's a blast to sit down and watch it with her and explain things. A great series all around and must purchase for the baby set.

Summary: Amazing, unbelievable, wonderful
Review: My sister bought the Mozart and the Bach versions for me after seeing a friend's child totally entranced by them. I didn't believe her, but I started my daughter watching and listen at about 2 months. She wasn't interested at first, that was until about 5 months. One day I turn it on and she just stared at the TV and didn't move. We now use it EVERYDAY. If she is crankly, I can turn either Mozart or Bach on and she quiets immediately. Sometime, when it ends, she crawls to the TV and touches the screen until I turn it on again and again. One day we watched it for almost 2 hours before I could tear her away from it. We cuddle and talk about the pictures, because many of the toys/props are common baby toys she has in her toy box. At night, it only takes 10-15 mins. while rocking and she is asleep. We use it as our regular nighttime routine. Overall, it's fantastic for educational activities, just playing, sleeping, calming, and when I need a few seconds to my self. I hope they make more of these because I could not have survived as a first time mom without it.

Summary: Great for doing housework
Review: My son is 5 months old and can almost last the whole DVD! He loves all the moving objects and the bright colors. Some of still pictures and puppets lose his attention but as soon as something else appears he is right on track again!! Love it!

Review: We use the video to help feed my daughter, she usually would have to chase her everywhere, now she watches that video like a hawk and we can feed her while she is in her trance.

Summary: Not sure what all the fuss is about - 2 and half stars
Review: Whilst these videos are clearly trying to do something new, I can't really see why the other reviews are mostly 5 stars. Our daughter is 21 months old and has been speaking since 10 months. Although she enjoys the Mozart video, she far prefers the likes of Teletubbies which at least have speech in them and actual things going on rather than just presenting toys - ie the Teletubbies do more complex things and interact with one another. Futhermore the Teletubby videos are about twice the length for the same money - I thought the Mozart video at 27 minutes was quite short, not very good value for money and could easily have been over twice the length given the content. I seriously question the age recommendation on the cover that it's suitable for children up to 48 months. Whilst I can see this sort of video is ideal for babies, and a godsend to parents needing a break, I would think that you'd struggle to keep many children over 2 sustained on watching toys and listening to music. I'd have thought they'd be much more interested in speech and more complex interactions. There's obvious merit in getting children to listen to "adult" sounds such as classical music rather than banal simple melodies on children's toys and many children's recordings, but you can easily do this by just having a classical recording on in the background when you play with them or when they are playing by themselves. Our daughter enjoys all sort of music from folk and classical to reggae and pop so I'm not quite sure what extra value the Mozart video brings for a child of nearly 2. The music on the radio and CDs is fine for her. She likes watching this video, but she much prefers Teletubbies, Thomas the Tank engine, Winnie the Pooh and things with a story and characters. Indeed she found the interview with the company founder at the end of the video about as interesting to watch as the main part of the video itself - at least it had children in it. Since babies and children so love watching other babies and children, I'm surprised they are missing from much of "Mozart". Full marks though for not having any annoying trailers and adverts at the start of the video, this particularly annoys us with the Disney videos. My advice - take your children over to a friends house who has this video and try it out on them first before considering buying your own copy. Every child is unique and although this video is great for children under 1, I just think there's more entertaining material out there for older children.
