Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

I had the earlier version of this DVD years ago for my first grandson who is now 15, As a baby he loved it. I decided to buy the new version for my 9 month old granddaughter. She was fascinated by the toys, colors, movements, and music. She sat and stared at it. It is a bit shorter than the first version which also had more Mozart songs but still well worth it to see my granddaughter mesmerized by it.

This was my son's first Baby Einstein DVD. It took him a while to warm up to it, but now, he loves it. He waves when he sees his favorite animals and bounces to some of the songs. We had to limit it to a few minutes each day because he'd run to the TV or computer and point at it to get us to play it for him. There are a few parts he gets bored with, but overall, it keeps him entertained and engaged and we can discuss different animals, toys, etc. that he doesn't see every day in the "real world". I was reluctant at first to have him watch DVDs as an infant (he started watching this a little before he turned a year old), but I watch it with him and can point out colors, shapes, actions, etc. and make it a learning tool.

This was the first video that we bought for our daughter when she was less than 6 months old. When we first started to play it I was very disappointed. To an adult, it seems like it's just a bunch of video shots of toys in motion, with music in the background. To my surprise, my daughter loved it. She was fascinated by it and looked forward to watching it every evening. The movement, colors, and music really held her attention and she never tired of watching it. About the time she turned one she did seem to lose interest in it and preferred other videos. I highly recommend this to anyone with a very young child.The only negative about it is that there is a commentary at the end of the tape where the producers make various claims about how listening to Mozart's music can boost a child's IQ and other abilities. Most research that I've read indicates that these benefits are overstated or nonexistent. Buy the tape because it's fun, not because it will turn your child into a genius.

Both my grandkids adored this so I scared up the Bach and Beethoven ones. My 13 month old laughs and is mesmerized and calm watching it. Great pre-nap background to her bottle before her AM nap. Great job on all, but the Mozart is the best. Disney took it over and maybe that is why the cost went up and the quality got better. They removed the repeat option if you are trying to calm a little one down. Once my 13 month old falls asleep in my arms, I switch to real Mozart CDs and she sleeps 1-2 hours and wakes happy and cheerful. She is an angel anyway, but I think this helps. Bought some of the items they use on the DVD, but beware, they can be pricy.

My baby isn't much of a sleeper and when I need to get stuff done this video is perfect. He loves watching it. I sit him down and he just stares at all the colors and things going on. The best part is that it's not to long and better for babies not to be sitting in front on the tv for hours. It's less then 30min, I might need more time then that but it's perfect for him, he doesn't need to watch a lot of tv. Note: if you have an iphone/smart phone they have an app for babies similar to this video. Works great when out somewhere and need to calm the baby down with some distraction.

I suppose the one problem with the Baby Einstein movies is that one can become too reliant on them to calm a fussy little one. These short, simple films are amazingly effective at calming down my daughter when I need to make dinner, take a shower, or otherwise be unavailable to watch her every move for a brief period (we simply put her in her Bumbo chair or exersaucer while she watches). I do wish that the CD had a few more songs; the DVD is about 30 minutes long, but the CD has only about 15 minutes of music. We have both the Baby Mozart and Baby Beethoven Discovery Kits; both are excellent.

I used to have a Baby Mozart VHS video for my older kids. When it broke down, I got the Baby Mozart DVD right away. It is my 4 year old son's favorite video. He will watch it at home or in the car with his portable DVD player. It keeps him quiet in the car and promotes a non distracted Mommy driver. I like that it is slow and not too loud, and exposes the baby to music. My older children now play piano very proficiently and the baby recognizes the songs from this DVD when he hears them elsewhere. I could see a light bulb go on inside his head.

I bought the combo pack for my 3 month old son. I have to say that he LOVES the Baby Mozart one and Likes the Beethoven one. I am more likely to get him to sit through the whole episode of Mozart than Beethoven. With that being said, we dont use it that often since he is still pretty young. Right now we use it when my husband and I want to eat dinner...gives us 20 minutes! I would buy the combo pack b/c it is a good value and it is nice to have options.

子供が小さい時に毎日一緒に観ていました　とても楽しく心地よいビデオでした　オススメです

My daughter loved this, so got one for my cousin's new baby. He loves it too! Very educational from infant to toddler age.

We loved this video...my Grand-daughter was transfixed...But it wore out very quickly...how long should a video last?After about ten showings it was showing signs of wear and broke soon after...My Grand daughter is still heart broken and asks for the tape every day, but I am reluctant to buy another if the quality is not good enough..kids want to see their favorite stories hundreds of times...This aspect was disapointing.

My 14 month old baby loves it.Great product! Seems to capture their attention almost immediately. Would highly recommend if you need 30 min of just peace and quiet!

はじめはモーツアルトなんて退屈してみてくれないかと心配していましたが、大違い！！とてもはまっています。最近ではベイビーモーツアルトのビデオがはじまると「きゃー」と大喜び。そして最後まで真剣に見ています。本当にびっくりです。
