Your child should not be watching TV 
2008-06-28
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.
Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.

My 20 month old son LOVES this DVD. He begs to watch it. He's really into planes, trains and cars right now so this is the perfect DVD!
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS NO TV FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2! 2008-01-15
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., 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.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The best way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable.
- Carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying!
Babies who are frequently carried pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort for OCCASIONAL viewing instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Communicating in sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.

So whether your little one is piloting toy planes, revving up choo-choo trains or boating in the bathtub, this delightful and interactive introduction to "things that go" will transport both of you to a world of fun and discovery you can explore together!

My son loves this video 
2007-01-03
My son is into everything with wheels that moves. So this video is his favorite. It's in the typical Baby Einstein format but it seems that he's not growing out of it yet evern though he is well into toddlerhood.
For a toddler boy 2006-11-04
This video was of outstanding interest to my 2 and a half year old grandson who is crazy about cars, trucks, trains, etc. As usual, the Baby Einstein format and quality is first class.
My son loves this movie! 2006-08-28
A great addition to the Baby Einstein collection. It goes over all the ways to travel pretty much by land, water, and air. The puppets are cute as usual. Lots of extras on the dvd. I recommend this to everyone who has a toddler. My son has learned many words from this movie.
Great Video! Nineteen-Month-Old Loves It! 2006-06-17
Our 19-month sold son LOVES this video and has for at least a month now. He really likes several of the Baby Einstein videos, including Baby Neptune, Baby Monet, and Baby Da Vinci. This one is his new favorite, though. He loves vehicles in real life, too, so I introduced this show to enhance his learning. He can now say the names of most of the vehicles on the video. He especially loves the part about airplanes and helicopters. I don't know what the person is referring to when s/he mentions "too many bells and whistles." This video has a bit more animation than some of the older Baby Einsteins, but just a bit. And it still is great about using puppets and humor to teach. My son adores this video. I highly recommend it!
