Baby Beethoven: Symphony of Fun Customer Reviews (19 - 21 of 36 Reviews)

Marketing aimed at children
Baby Beethoven has lots of nice pictures with music that my 17-month-old son enjoys. What's a bit disturbing is the obvious marketing and advertising in the 30 minute DVD. Lots and lots of toys are shown, then at the end we see toddlers playing with the toys! We own a few other Baby Einstein DVDs which do show commercial toys, but in Baby Beethoven the marketing is very blatant.

Useless content
OK, I'll admit that my 3-month-old son loves this video, but he pretty much loves anything that comes up on the TV (like most babies his age). As a mother, however, I am very disappointed with the content. Sure, the music may be stimulating, but this video teaches my son NOTHING. I prefer other children's videos that incorporate counting and colors and even other languages along with the stimulating music. (The original Baby Einstein does this, but it is very poor in quality). And I'm not the type of mom who uses videos as babysitters - I like to sit with my son and watch with him, pointing out different concepts as we go along. Needless to say, I'm bored stiff watching this video - all I can say to my son is "oh - another spinning toy!" I'm not impressed, and I'm very surprised what big sellers these videos are. I could make one at home!!

Holds my baby's attention
My baby boy loves this DVD. He will watch it all the way through!! This is great, it gives me time to get stuff done. This is an absolute must have.
