Summary: Excellent & Age Appropriate
Review: My son started with this software when he was one. He's now 2 and we're not about to give it up. The best thing is that the child can simply press any key on the keyboard and something will happen. It requires NO mouse usage. It's very engaging and there's so much to do. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Summary: Great for Babies
Review: Our 12 month old loves it. He constantly go into his brother's room and waiting by the computer until we let him play JumpStart Baby. He's often engrossed for a half an hour or more.Teddy's appearance and voice have won him over. The graphics are colorful and the music is appropriate.

Summary: Would Not Install
Review: Quite simply, the software would not install. Auto-run would run correctly, but clicking 'install' from the Jumpstart welcome screen resulted in nothing happening. A complete waste of money, since I threw out the packaging some time ago.

Summary: The Toddler I know wants only Weeder Wabbit Baby
Review: There are many things that I like about this software, but our 17 month old has no patience with it. If I even click on the Teddy icon he starts screaming No, No, Wabbit, Wabbit. For him at least, that bear talks entirely too much. And it seems to take forever for anything to happen. Maybe if he hadn't played with the Reader Rabbit Baby game first or maybe when he gets a little older it will be OK. But for now, it's Wabbit Wabbit.

Summary: My kids ages 1 and 3 love it!
Review: This is the second time I'm purchasing this software (the first disk got scratched). I bought it 3 years or so ago for my son. He used it from ages 9 months and now my daughter loves it. She loves the songs, animals and putting teddy "night-night," which makes it easier to stop playing when mom's had enough. My son enjoys helping his sister play the games now, which are simple enough to do on their own.

Summary: Gets old fast
Review: This software has eight activities and that's about the best I can say about it. A major problem for us is that activity introductions last a while and our son is bored before the little characters get set up or quit talking, especially if he has already done the activity before. Secondly, it's not always easy for a baby to figure out what needs to be done. Get the mouse to the upper left corner? Connect the dots? A baby just wants to push buttons or move the mouse around. Finally, and I know this is my own personal bias, I think the animation is too primitive and the JumpStart Bear's voice is saccharin-y to the point of being creepy -- similar to PBS's Noddy but not so cute. We have several different baby software packages, and Reader Rabbit is far superior to the JumpStart product.

Summary: Still Fun For my 3 year old
Review: This was purchased for my daughter when she was 7 months old - she really didn't grow into it until she was over a year, but at 3 1/2 she still requests it for some of the fun little games. I'm about ready to introduce it to my 14 month old son - It's great to have good beginner software out there.

Summary: Too much talk, not enough of interest.
Review: We got this for my son when he was about 1.5 and have tried it on him every month or so to see what he thinks. He is totally uninterested. There is much too much talking and too little time where he can do things. And the games provide him with very limited stuff he can do, and poor feedback for what he's done. He much prefers Read Rabbit for Baby over this.

Summary: VERY age appropriate!
Review: We got this software for my son on his 1 year birthday. He loved it from the very beginning. He is now 17 months, and is constantly saying "puter". We got other software, but it doesn't compare. This is very age appropriate, pressing ANY key or the mouse button will get a response, and there are 8 activites dealing with animals, colors, music, and even getting dressed. There is also lots of variety, the games change so the child isn't playing the exact same thing over and over again. I'm about to buy Jump Start Toddler!
