Summary: Baby Superstar is based on bad, oudated research.
Review: As a child psychologist, I felt that I had to write in about the Baby Superstar dvds. These dvds are shockingly irresponsible. The "science" that they are based on is outdated, and isn't at all in line with what we in the child psychology and educational communities have been researching over the past five years. These videos are clearly not based on current, peer-reviewed research. The parenting tips on the dvds are also surprisingly out of date, and the "experts" that appear or are referenced are not considered knowledgeable or relevant by the scientific, research, or educational communities. I would not play these dvds for my own children, and I will advise the parents in my practice that these dvds are not suitable or productive for their children.

Summary: Baby Superstar videos are not stimulating.
Review: As a parent of a bright, happy infant, I always look for new products to stimulate her. The Baby Superstar DVDs are so boring and slow-moving, however, that they are not challenging at all. She loves the Baby Einstein series, but the quality of the Baby Einstein videos is far superior. I also noticed that the child psychologist who wrote a review found these videos unsuitable for children, which really worries me. I think that if a doctor who specializes in this area has a problem with the videos, we shouldn't allow our children to watch them.

Summary: Good enough for me
Review: Being a mother who is very concerned about what I buy for my child, I tend to be very critical of products on the market. I was always a little skeptical about educational videos for toddlers but when I got the Forest Ranger Dvd as a gift I was very pleased with my baby's reaction to it. He was very focused and interested in what was on the screen. I give the video a high rating because if my child agrees then it must be something good.

Summary: Not appropriate for children.
Review: I concur with Dr. Nelson, who has already written a review. As a medical doctor, a PhD in Developmental Psychology, and a mother, I find it sad that this is the sort of pap that is being fed to children too young to make their preferences known. Infants need stimulation, interaction, and challenges. They do not need to be plopped in front of the television to watch substandard material based on outdated, junky science. The myth of the "Mozart Syndrome," the nonsense about cheap toys and reality footage, the substandard parenting "guide," - this is pop, irresponsible science at its worst. I would not recommend these videos to any parent interested in raising an alert, bright child.

Summary: This is NO Baby Einstein!
Review: I was led to believe that this video was one of the Baby Einstein series, but boy was I wrong! The minute I put the DVD in the player, it was obvious that this was not of the same quality. Unlike the superb Baby Einstein videos, the Baby Superstar videos are slow and cheap-looking. Also, the company is clearly trying to piggy-back onto the popularity of the excellent Baby Einstein video series. I am writing this review so that others won't be fooled into buying these lousy videos. Spend your money on Baby Einstein instead.
