Summary: "I want Bear!" I hear this everyday from my 2 year old!
Review: An excellent game! Cute characters, sweet songs, and plenty of activities to keep your little one interested. Press any key play makes it very simple for your child to control play with very little parent help. Out of several toddler programs we own, this is our favorite!

Summary: Best software I've bought for my daughter in the last year
Review: Excellent!!! My daughter enjoyed this so much. We almost exclusively played with one feature: "Down on the Farm" - it was the easiest one to start out with at 9 months and soon became a must-do everyday. Baby will learn animal names & sounds quickly. My daughter is now 2 and we've bought several cd's since then and this one is my all time favorite so far.

Summary: This CD is best for kids over 12 months.
Review: I bought Jumpstart Baby for my daughter when she was nine months old. It was the first time I had ever considered putting a baby on the computer. She didn't take to it at first, but once she was over 12 months old she began to enjoy it. She is now two and loves it so much that she ended up scratches in it so that it is no longer playable. She would always take the CD out of the case whenever she saw me or daddy sitting on the computer. I noticed that when she first got into the CD, her favorite game was connect-the-dots. Later, as her attention span started to grow, her favorite games were getting Teddy dressed, out on the farm, and hide and seek. She didn't care too much for the other activities, but that's okay. Since hide-and-seek taught her how to find things using words like under, inside, or behind, I really don't care right now if she doesn't know the color of the object. As she got closer to two, I realized that at times, she would follow Teddy's directions without my help. So this CD has taught her a lot. What's best is that you can actually incorporate what your baby learns into everyday life. I do like the fact that each activity includes tips on how to do so. And finally, she loved saying "good night" to Teddy when playtime was over. As a parent, you will be amazed at how your child will go from sitting at the game for 5 minutes to sitting there for almost half an hour as she becomes more involved with Teddy. All in all, it is a great investment towards your child's learning.

Summary: Helping baby eat
Review: I bought this for my child when he was 8 months old.... mostly to entertain him during meal times. He loves all the screens and smiles and laughs when Teddy comes on the computer (he's 10 months now). Jumpstart has even helped our son to start saying, "Baa Baa", "ruff", "hoo hoo", and other animal sounds. My only complaint (and this is my husband's too) is that Teddy never shuts up... and is a bit bossy. :)

Summary: Do yourself a favor, Check it out first
Review: I first bought the reader rabbit series from the Learning Company, my 20 month old loved it. The activities are interactive and the music is very catchy.I recently purchased thejump start baby. My child was bored and disintersted. She kept asking me for "Reader Rabbit". I noticed after installing the jump start baby software my computer started acting weird and malfunctioning. I should have been more aware, as I purchased a copy of jump start baby about six months prior and it crashed my windows 98 system to the point of no return. After uninstalling jsb and all its subcomponents it seems my system is back to normal reliability. And that is my review!

Summary: Little value for babies
Review: I had high hopes for this software, but it is not for babies. Bottom line --There is very little response to keyboard tapping by the baby, even with a very fast PC. There is almost nothing going on the screen to draw out or reinforce key pressing. Instead, too complex directions come accross on the speaker. I wasted my money on this one.

Summary: 2 Year Old Loves Teddy
Review: I purchased Jump Start BABY for my 28 month old grandson, Jack, when he was 18 months. Last week Jack told said, "I love Teddy", the friendly bear that accompanies Jack through each activity. I also have a toddler CD, but Jack always chooses " Teddy".

Summary: Best Software On the Market
Review: I purchased the 3 different software systems that I could find - Jump Start Baby, Reader Rabbit Playtime for Baby, and Sesame Street Baby and Me. By far, for my 15 month old son at least, the best is Jump Start Baby. He loves Teddy, who walks him through the fun activities, and he giggles with delight as he plays. This isn't the case with the other software brands that I bought. I wish I had only bought Jump Start Baby, as the other two have ended up collecting dust on the shelf. You just can't help giving your son the software he asks for.

Summary: Didn't like
Review: I tired several times to get my grandbaby to play with the game but it never kept her interest for more than 3-4 minutes. She has other games that she plays and I have a hard time getting her off.
