Summary: Fun tape, holds a childs attention
Review: This was the first video that we bought for our daughter when she was less than 6 months old. When we first started to play it I was very disappointed. To an adult, it seems like it's just a bunch of video shots of toys in motion, with music in the background. To my surprise, my daughter loved it. She was fascinated by it and looked forward to watching it every evening. The movement, colors, and music really held her attention and she never tired of watching it. About the time she turned one she did seem to lose interest in it and preferred other videos. I highly recommend this to anyone with a very young child.The only negative about it is that there is a commentary at the end of the tape where the producers make various claims about how listening to Mozart's music can boost a child's IQ and other abilities. Most research that I've read indicates that these benefits are overstated or nonexistent. Buy the tape because it's fun, not because it will turn your child into a genius.

Summary: It's our favorite video
Review: My twin boys, now 26 months, love Baby Mozart and also Baby Bach. We got the videos as a gift when the boys were about 6 months old. We watched them together, naming the toys and actions as they appeared on the screen. Now the boys love to watch and talk about the movies all on their own. We all need a break to make dinner or whatever, and it's so great to pop in a movie that you can feel good about. I'll take this over Barney any day -- and so will my kids!

Summary: It's great for older kids too
Review: My son started watching Baby Mozart (and Baby Bach and Baby Einstein) when he was about a year old. He is 3,5 now and still enjoys all these videos. He still loves all the playful images and toys but views them as a show of small interactive stories (and not just like stimulating images). And there is no doubt that music of Mozart and other great classical composers broadens child's intellectual capacities and interest in different types of music. There is no need to toss the video out once your child leaves toddlehood behind. There is a new opportunity for preschoolers to engage their imagination and interaction with the world while listening to the great music.

Summary: Kiddie Euphoria!
Review: We have always had classical music playing in our home so when Kate was 6 months old, we purchased Baby Mozart. At first I was a bit disappointed: I expected orchestra arrangements and better production values. But soon I realized, duh, it's for kids, not adults. The simple musical arrangements and low tech images are right on target for babies. Kate LOVES this video. As soon as the opening credits begin, her hands and feet begin to dance and a big smile appears. We point out the different images ("bear","apple","train"...."colorful whirling thingie") to make it a family interactive time. The educational component makes us feel a little less guilty over TV having anything to do with the education/entertainment of our precious bundle of joy. It would be easy to get sucked into the "video babysitter" vortex (Kate is totally enthralled for 30, count 'em, 30 minutes) but, like anything else, the video is great when used in moderation. Kate's now 10 1/2 months and just as excited about watching Baby Mozart. We've added Baby Bach to her repertoire too.

Summary: Need some free time from your baby?
Review: This is the best video ever! My son has been watching the whole 30 minutes of this video since he was 3 months. It is great to spend time with him or just to have some free time to do some things around the house. What a luxury. With this video I have time to prepare dinner, pack for a vacation, read, or just take a nap on the coach (ofcourse in the same room). Now he is 12 months and is still enjoying the visuals and the music. It is also a great tool to sit with him and explain some of the visuals. I highly recommend this video to all parents (especially the ones at home)

Summary: Baby Prozac
Review: This video is a lifesaver ! Our 3 month old , who is not exceptionally fussy , loves this video . When he is a real handful we turn on the Video Prozac and he calms right down . The video was recommened by some friends and they were right on the money about its hypnotic qualities . I am sure it has educational and developmental aspects as well but for a 3 month old it just works wonders calming baby down . A+

Summary: Best of the bunch
Review: I highly recommend the Baby Einstein company's videos - but especially Baby Mozart. The effect on infants from about 1 month of age is magical. My 7 month-old is literally enthralled by the music and visuals... and she has been capitvated by them for the past six months. The key is that the video clips are live action films of toys and other things that pique the interest and budding curiousity of babies (as compared with other companies' products which employ cheap, sterile, computer-generated animation, which totally fails to hold youngsters' attention). My older daughter (4 years) enjoys watching them with her sister. The combination is great for occupying the little ones while mom gets little things done around the house. I buy them as baby gifts for all of my friends.

Summary: A lifesaver video
Review: My son from the ages of 2-5 months would be mesmerized by the objects and puppets in this video. The 30 minutes gave me just enough time to go get ready for the day. I couldn't have survived without this video. Now at 7 months he still likes to watch it, but not for the full 30 minutes because he wants to crawl around instead.

Summary: My daughter's favorite video!
Review: This video is my daughter Lauren's favorite thing. I bought it for her when she was 4 weeks old, and she watches it at least once a day. When she is fussy, I put in the tape and she immediately starts smiling. She squeals, waves her arms and coos the entire time. The music is wonderful because it's just classical music, and you don't seem like a dork if you're whistling the tunes later (which my husband and I have done with our other baby video songs!). I recommend that you purchase the DVD since you'll be playing it several times, and I also recommend the audio tape for the car.

Summary: My 8 month old baby was mesmerized by this video!
Review: My baby absolutely loved this video! The first time she watched it she could not take her eyes away from the screen and anytime I need a half hour break I put on this video and watch it quietly with her. She dances to the music and talks to the tv screen. I believe that this is teaching her about music and rhythm. I highly recommend this video to any parents.
