Summary: don't leave home without them
Review: My son has been watching these videos since he was 3 months old. I have every video that she has made, they have been a god sent, it's the only way he will ride in the car without crying, I can get a 1/2 hour of anything done at home with these great videos, they are entertaining and educational. He is 10 months old now and has probably watched them 100 times, literally!!!

I have a 4 hour tape in the car and it's been my saving grace. Trust me when I tell you, to buy them!!!!

ps-you can buy a video player for in the car @ [local store] for about [$$$], worth every penny.

Summary: Somewhat Disappointed....
Review: Neither of my kids seem to be remotely interested in any of the Baby Einstein DVDs. To me, they seem strange and almost like brain-washing. I think we'll stick to Disney and the like.

Summary: Mother Approved!
Review: Our son is almost 8 months old and when we put one of the videos in, no matter where he is in the house he comes to watch. The colors and sounds has captured his attention and we can sit with him to learn. We are so happy for your products. Thank you for helping new parents find a way to connect.

Summary: Yeah right
Review: Please, these tapes are mediocore at best. A few of the tapes are better than the others but it is a big disappointment. Beyond that, I cannot stand the precotious Julie Clark and putting her kids in the tapes....boo hiss.

Overall you can save yourself money if you have a video camera and classical music. Just film your kids and their favorite toys with the music in the background and Voila, there you go.....you have Baby Einstein.

Summary: Beware!
Review: The one and only fear my 22-months old son has is this video. The ugly puppets scared him so much that now he breaks into tears every time I merely touch the VCR. And it was a few months since he saw this video.

Summary: Eye Candy
Review: The only "Einstein" in this Baby Einstein is its creator, Julie Clark, for duping thousands of people into believing that her videos are eduational. Yes, my 13 month old does like to watch them, and why not? The videos are mostly a series of toys, puppets, disco balls, and kenetic sculptures set to music. My son would eat candy all day if I let him too, but I have the sense to tell him no. That's what these videos should be, a treat. Kids may be mesmorized because of the way it's presented, and if you want your kids to sit and watch something beause you need a break, then that's fine. What I have a problem with is everyone saying how educational they are. Frankly, I do not see what they learn from watching a bunch of toys. I would rather my son PLAYED with toys! Most experts frown aginst any baby under a year watching any TV anyway, it seems we are going to have a new generation of couch potatoes! The only tape that had some eduational qualities is Baby Newton. It talks about and shows shapes. The WORST tape is Baby Einstein. It shows toys and other interesting objets while the background audio is of women speaking in foriegn languages, but not about what the child is looking at. It is confusing and pointless! What will a baby learn from that? At least Sesame Street counts in Spanish and is actually counting something, and that's free! The other two tapes are good eletronic babysitters, that also feature Julie Clark's spoiled brat kids. In Baby Bach one of them actually says,"The video of ME is all done? I'm not the STAR anymore?" I personally do not find this amusing. I think she is exploiting her percotious children and people are falling for it. Not me. If you disagree and are so enamoured by this series, let me know...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Choice
Review: This is one of the best products out there for kids. I heard about Baby Einstein from a friend of mine and I'm glad that I listened to her and got it. My daughter loves it. She will stop whatever she is doing and sit and watch these tapes. They're so addictive that I even know all the songs. I have sat and watch these tapes hundreds of times with with my daughter (presently 7 months old) and I don't know what it is but it has you going and you don't lose interest. The music arrangement, the characters, the whole setup is amazing. I love them and recommend it.

Summary: Could of just bought Shakespeare
Review: We got this as a shower gift for my second baby, and are glad we didn't buy it ourselves.
The Baby Shakespeare video is a good gentle form of entertainment. We were disappointed with Baby Bach. The music is nice, but it is much of the same toys used in Baby Mozart swirling around, so having both are not neccessary.
We like the idea of Einstein, but my child will not watch it, and shakes her head "no" when we put in Baby Newton...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mostly good, if used correctly.....
Review: We have all of these videos and my kids love them. They are bright and colorful, with loads of great images and top notch music. I like that they vary and have different themes, our favorite is Baby Newton. I have no idea why they prefer that one, but they just do.

Now, I've read some negative reviews on here and I must say I can see the point that those parents are trying to get across. But Julie Clark tells us at the end of every video that you should watch with your child and discuss what you are seeing. This is an opportunity to interact with your child, this is not intended as an electronic babysitter (Nick Jr. is the electronic video, or didn't you know?). So if used properly they are learning videos. My two kids, aged 4 and 2, enjoy the chance to spend time with a parent and learn about colors, numbers, shapes, etc. For that purpose they are great!
