Rating:  - Typical Baby EinsteinNothing new. It's your typical Baby Einstein. With Backyardigans, Dora, Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, and other interactive cartoons, Baby Einstein doesn't really offer anything. With today's technology and computers for families, I almost feel I could make a video of the same caliber that would offer more images for my children to relate to. Rating:  - Good but marred by adsThe video itself is great, but I find it abhorrent that it begins and ends with ads (for other products by the Baby Einstein company). If some beancounter at Disney felt that they really had to include ads, they could easily have added a menu choice offering information on their other related products. But no, they placed a video announcement for these products right within the play -- as the first thing you see after selecting play, and the last thing after the video itself ends. So you'll get to hear those ads each and every single time you play the DVD. Rating:  - Actually soothes my infant into a nap!My baby is not a great napper. When she'd come home from "daycare" and needed to unwind I've put this on to try to get some stuff done in the kitchen for dinner just to keep her occupied. Instead of it keeping her occupied it actually puts her in a trance and she's usually asleep by the 12 min marker. For this reason alone I will take it! She just sometimes needs something calm and soothing to get her to come down from her busy day. This also helps because i dont have to feel bad that she's watching too much tv if it actually puts her to sleep. I have to add that it doesn't put her to sleep because its boring, but because its so soothing. I love it. The Lullaby Time DVD hasn't even worked as good as this one. Rating: - works wonders!!!My 8 month old son loves this dvd!!! We have a few of the Baby Einstein dvds and this is by far his favorite! It is constant music with colors and shapes and toys!! Rating: - Baby Love ItWe purchased several more of the Baby Einstein videos bases on my daughters appreciation of this one. However, so far none of come close to Baby Mozart. My daughter has been engaged by the great combination of classical music and engaging images from 3 months to 9 months. I anticipate we will get a few more months out of it as well.
