Baby Mozart

Summary: good idea but boring and non educational
Review: I think that this video is a good idea. It just doesn't hold the attention of my baby, nor does it provide my baby with much information that he can process. I give credit to the producers for trying something new at the time, but nowadays there is much better in the way of video for infants....

Summary: My ten month old daughter really responds to this.
Review: I've read wide-ranging reviews for this tape and thought I would rent it before purchasing it--I would recommend that you do the same, if you can. My 10 month old daughter really got into it! My wife and I watched her reactions to the video and became convinced that it really capitivates her. Each child is different and will respond to the video in their own unique way. Take into account the child's age and development when they're first exposed to the video. I don't know if our daughter will become the next Menza genius by watching this, but I'm impressed by her reactions to it.

Summary: Great for a while
Review: I have twin girls, and they really loved this video at first. We got it when they were about 4 months. It was great because they would watch it while we ate dinner -- finally peace! It was amazing to watch them watch the video so intently. We thought it was great, but as soon as they starting crawling around and exploring other things, they got less interested in it. They still like it, but at 8 months it doesn't hold their attention like it did at 4 or 5 months. We also have Baby Einstein, and they like that one pretty well too, but the same thing has happened. We plan to try Van Gogh, Shakespeare, or Dolittle, which are for older babies, to see if they like those better. I think the key is variety -- our girls just got tired of Baby Mozart every evening. Every baby is different and will like different music and graphics, so your baby may love this DVD or he may hate it and like one of the others better. You have to try it and see, though, because it was a life-saver for us!

Summary: Couldn't be better
Review: My 5 month old AND my 7 year old like to watch this. I turn it on and do my cooking and cleaning while he sits in his swing or bouncy chair. Sometimes I even get to take a long shower with him sitting in his bouncy chair in the bathroom facing the TV in my master bedroom...He and I both love it...The added bonus is that I get to listen to great music while I do mundane household chores....

Summary: YOU HAVE TO GET THIS!!
Review: We received this video as a gift at a baby shower...at first I thought it was silly to have a baby watch a video and our son was about 1 month old before I pulled it out. HE LOVES IT!! We can be trying to figure out why he is crying and we will sit him down in front of this video and he is instantly quiet!! If you only buy one video from this collection it has to be this one...but from my experience they are all good.

Summary: All Kids Love It!
Review: When given this as a gift I thought these videos seemed pretty dumb but my 15 month old son has loved them from when he was 2 months old. Beginning with Mozart worked best, he wasn't interested in Bach or the others at an early age, but eventually Bach became his favorite. Also loves Neighborhood Animals & World Animals (which I think is pretty dumb, but...) He still hasn't taken to Shakespeare or Van Gogh yet. I have recommended these videos to friends and they have shared the same experiences- mesmorized from early ages at Mozart, then on to Bach & the Dolittle's Neighborhood & World but all have the same experience with Van Gogh & Shakespeare- not interested. Friends & family have bought these tapes just based on my son's reaction to them in our home and to their children's reactions when visiting here. My nephews (ages 3-7) ask to watch Mozart & Bach when they are visiting and stay glued to the tv! All surprising but true!

Summary: GREAT video
Review: I read the review and decided to purchase the video...and wasn't disappointed. I purchased it for my 2 year old daughter, and she absolutely loved it. She sat through the show from start to finish, enthralled with the music and motion on screen. Then, along came our third child, and at only a few months, she was entranced by the video as well. Our "new baby" is now 9 months, and whenever we pop in the Baby Mozart video, her whole face lights up, and her body language "settles in" to watch. She watches from start to finish as well, without a wimper. When she does start to fuss, we know the video is over. Even our 8 year old son doesn't mind "sharing" the TV with his little sisters when Baby Mozart is on. Although he is too old for the simple graphics on-screen, he loves the music, and so does Mom. This video is a great buy...in our family, it pleases everyone, ages 8, 2-1/2, 9 mos. and Mom and Dad, too.

Summary: A welcome relief
Review: As a mother of a 2 month old fussy baby, I was not sure that this video would keep his attention. I expected to put him in front of the TV and have to pick him back up crying after only moments. However, I was pleasantly surprised. He sat wide eyed in his carrier and stared in amazement throughout the ENTIRE video! This was a much needed break and a welcome relief! I will purchase more of these videos in the near future.
