The name "Baby Einstein" can trick parents into believing it's okay or even good for their babies to watch it, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that: - for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping. "Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an excellent option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to: - reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!Read full review
My son is almost 2 and we have a few of the Baby Einstein Videos. He loves this one for the sounds of the cars and trucks and trains and such. He calls them out when we are on the street and he spots one. These videos have been a saving grace in our home. When he gets overactive or just needs a few minutes to regroup (or i do) i pop one in and he is in awe for 20 minutes. Shouting out names and sounds in no time. The other favorites of his are the Old Macdonald and the neighborhood animals. I love the products and will continue showing them to him. I believe these have helped his speaking and association skills much more than that Purple Dinosaur would ever do.
My toddler loves the baby Einstein dvds and she has learned so much from them. The delivery was very fast and we had them in a few days.

The best thing about this show is the exposure to lots of things that move. Where we live, we don't see a lot of trains, planes or jets, so it was a nice way to show our daughter what these things were. She was captivated by the episode, and watched it almost exclusively for a week. Since then, she's identified many of the different vehicles when we walk or take a drive. It's a great episode for kids who are a year old and older. The colours, puppets, and video clips are a super way for kids to learn about all the different things in the world that move, beyond cars and trucks! It's great because it has things in a toddler's world that move, too -- bike, stroller, trike, etc. Definitely a must have for any Baby Einstein lover, and great for parents trying to increase their little one's vocabulary.Read full review
This DVD was purchased to replace a damaged one that my grandson has had since he was 6 months old. I think of all the Baby Einstein series this program has the most to captivate a boys mind (from 6 months to 4 years). My grandson likes it now as a reading tool. The 'real life' pictures are incredible & the Einstein characters are more interesting to the young mind than cartoons.
