Summary: Saving my sanity
Review: Awesome video. This video is the only one that my colliquey baby of 2 months would watch and stopped crying for the entire time it was on! Nothing else would stop his crying. He is 9 months old now and still loves this video the best and giggles and laughs throughout it. My only regret is that I didn't get it on dvd where I can loop it through a repeat sequence and get some precious sleep! Thank you Brainy Baby! I am planning on purchasing the series. (I have all the other companies' dvds but, brainy baby is the best)

Summary: My 1 year old's favorite
Review: I am so glad that I bought the Right Brain Brainy Baby. While my daughter also loves some of the Baby Einstein videos, this one is her favorite. As soon as she sees the menu she starts clapping and making some gleeful sounds. Since I'm trying not to get her too hooked on TV, I try to let her only watch a video once a day. However, I was completely out of it this week with a bad cold and this video saved me. I was able to cat-nap for 45 minutes while she watched her video...

Summary: Cheap Fast Food
Review: I bought the Brainy Baby - Right Brain/Left Brain DVD's to try something else than Baby Einstein for my 16 months old. I am very disappointed. They are taking all the Baby Einstein features - the classical music, the kinetic arts, the puppets, the toys - and not adding anything more innovative than an annoying voice that explains what's going on on the pictures. This is annoying since I thinks it's the parent's job to view the action and explain and share the joy with the kid - but even more annoying that it sounds like a laundry add. Compared to the Baby Einstein series where everything is pulled together to make sense - the music goes with action (and is re-edited for baby ears), the sound effects are right, and there is a logic order to the event, everything in the Brainy Baby series appear random and incredible cheap. The bottom line - my son will watch it but it compares to Baby Einstein like fast food to gourmet. Pick what you want for your kid - I will take Baby Van Gogh any day over this.

Summary: Great!
Review: I bought the Right Brain and Left Brain series before we had ever seen any other kind of of baby video/DVD. I had to write a review because my daughter absolutely loves them. Once the show starts she literally stops everything and watches intently, stopping only to clap her hands and squeal! She loved them so much that we ran out and got some Baby Einstein videos, which she likes but they don't seem to have the same appeal. The Brainy Baby's are definitely more compelling for her and seem to be more educational than entertaining.

She began watching these occasionally at 9 months or so - she is now 13 months and still loves both Left and Right versions. We are very pleased that we bought these - yes the effects are a bit low tech (as other reviewers have mentioned), but my daughter doesn't seem to care!

Summary: One of the Best so far!
Review: I bought this video just last week for my 1 year old son and he did enjoy watching it. I also bought the Baby Einstein DVD(Mozart) because of the good review and I realized he doesn't seems interested in it. He prefers videos with baby's featured on it as well as narration. The Brainy Baby (Right Brain) is far more superior than the Baby Einstein and it's more longer. I strongly recommend this video to parents who are planning to buy one for their baby. And try to buy Sesame Streets's Kids Favourite Song. My son loved to watch it so much!!!

Summary: Best on the Market!
Review: I come from a Montessori background and have very high standards regarding my child's education. I am discriminating about what I expose her to. The formative years are a crucial time in every child's development. As parents, we have choices about what we present to our children. Introduce your baby to shapes and geometric forms, and motion! Show them examples of colors and the mixture of blue and yellow turning green! Gaze into the clouds, and find forms with your infant! In this video you can do all this. See computer animations of a ball that changes color as it bounces. Watch your child squeal as a brightly colored windmill toy spins two wheels in two opposite directions at once. The video has a peek-a-boo bear, and has simple toys like a jack in the box, but also extraordinary spinning objects and shapes. As a toddler my daughter was enthralled with the brightly colored balls spinning around, apparently while on springs. Now that she is three years old, she enjoys the more cognitive lessons in the video (even though it is all review for her!). It is a good primer for colors. Also there is an introduction to shapes, rhyming, introduction to written words, and animals like fish, cat, and dog. We learn shapes like star, square, circle, and triangle. This tutoring comes in short segments and is presented within lots of captivating images. We learn animal shapes and common items like house, car, boat, teddy bear etc. A gentle voice introduces us to basic vocabulary, shapes, colors and asks fun questions about what we are seeing as well. We see paint colors mix to make secondary colors. The point is that there is so much education in this video, as well as interesting images. Some of the images are so interesting they seem to hypnotize. We see stacking cups that fit inside one another. We see a puzzle taken a part and put back together. We see the workings of gears, the way a ball spins, falls, rolls down ramps. There are lots of smiley faces! Be dazzled by droplets of water falling through a maze of pegs, and toys that perform a wide variety of all types of spinning and motion. These are all visual demonstrations of motion and physics. You will hear the names of colors as they are painted on paper and then see more paintings until one of them is transformed in to a real flower. See finger painting and many art projects in this video that you can do at home, when your little one is old enough. No longer do parents have to tolerate the use of mindless videos to "occupy" they young ones. This is not anything like what the competition has to offer! We now have the opportunity to actually EDUCATE our babies with a video. The child will LEARN something while watching this. I have seen no other product on the market that goes to such lengths to inform and educate babies as the Brainy Baby products do. If you care about CONTENT, then get this video! This is a revolutionary product that gives you the tools to begin educating your child at a young age.

Summary: Amazing learning videos
Review: I have been educating my child with the Brainy Baby videos since she was 8 months old. My child is now 23 months old and she is on the educational level of a 3 year old. My child has mastered the sounds of all of the letters of the alphabet, she can count to 20 in English and to 10 in Spanish. My child also knows all of her Shapes and Colors. ... The Brainy Baby videos will EDUCATE and ENTERTAIN at the same time for 45 minutes ... I believe that by allowing my child to view Brainy Baby right brain Left brain has allowed her to be a whole brain thinker, making it easier for her to retain information. I am truly the proud parent of a Brainy Baby.....

Summary: Every baby is different
Review: I was quite excited to order this dvd after reading all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my daughter was not enthralled by this video. We have most of the Baby Einstein series as well as some others and her favorite by far is Baby Neptune - she seems to have outgrown Baby Beethoven.

She is only nine months though so I will keep trying this video as maybe it will appeal to her more as she gets older. I would love for her to have more variety.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby can't take his eyes off it!
Review: My 9-month old watched Baby Mozart every morning for the past 5 months, and refused to watch any of the other videos in that series. I thought he might finally be getting bored with it, so I decided to give Brainy Baby a try based on the reviews here. I couldn't believe how much he enjoys it!

He doesn't kick his feet and smile like he does with Baby Mozart. Instead, he watches the screen very intently. It's as if he really understands it and is getting smarter as he watches. I can see the wheels turning in that right brain of his! He seems to concentrate very hard while watching this video and does not want to be distracted. For that and the extra 15 minutes it gives me over Baby Mozart, I am very very thankful.
