 Once again, it's a hit! November 2, 2005

My 17 month old son can't get enough of this DVD! From the first moment it was on, he was hooked. He now picks up the case and brings that one to me when he's chosing a movie. The puppets and the Wheels on the Bus segments are his favorite. Nothing stops an attack of the grumps like this one.
Lots of fun! A must for all wheel crazy kids! But... October 27, 2005

We've been anxiously awaiting this video and it does indeed deliver some fun for the kids. Love, love, love the Wheels On The Bus! We've played it over and over already and the surprises in it are simply adorable. The puppet shows are always a delight too and very clever. I agree with the last reviewer in that it seems the folks at Baby Einstein forced everything to be the same length because of some silly format rule or something. In real life, there are lots more things that go on land, and many fewer things that go on water and in air. One big thing missing is any mention of Monster Trucks or NASCAR. Hello!? I don't know about other peoples kids, but those two vehicles are super-heros in a little toddlers world. With all the hipe around "cars" and hot rod shows, I would have thought Disney wouldn't have missed this that.
Regardless, this is one video in our Baby E collection that's sure to be worn out from watching over and over. It's well worth the money. It's probably our last, as our kids are growing out of this age range. We couldn't resist it because "cars, trucks..." seem to be an unending passion for our kids. If you buy the DVD, the bonus stuff is really cute too. Still gets a top vote from us!

My daughter and her father take a daily walk near the highway so he can show her the different trucks that cross the bridge to and from Canada. So, I thought "Things that go" would be perfect for her. After eagerly awaiting the release of this video, I was a little disappointed. The video is divided into three segments: on land, in water and in the sky. I think that in the effort to keep the segments the same length, some sections became too detailed and there was not enough detail in others. I would have liked to see different types of trucks, and I really wasn't interested in some of the water and air vehicles that my baby may never see in real life anyway.
But, Baby (14 months old) enjoyed it and was busy saying "Twuck! Twuck!" through most of the video. The puppet shows are typical Baby Einstein - very silly - and we really enjoyed the "Wheels on the bus" segment. I really think she'll enjoy the video more with her dad since he actually cares about the difference between a parasail and a hang glider. Definitely, it was worth the $14.

Like many parents, I want my kid to get a leg up on my life, so I sat my six-month old down in front of "Baby Einstein - On the Go - Riding, Sailing and Soaring", left to get a pack of smokes, and then returned 45 minutes later fully expecting a rational human being with whom I could discuss the implications of relativistic space-time on human perceptions of causality.
I strolled into the playroom and casually asked my drooling tyke, "So, how do you square the idea of the universe emerging from a singularity, thereby implying a first cause, or at least, a prime event, with the later expansion of relativistic space-time and the apparent absence of an absolute reference frame?" I figured I'd toss the lad a gimme first, just to ease him into a productive dialogue. Little Albert (not his real name) just looked at me, made a squealing noise, and pumped his pudgy arms up and down. I figured he was gathering his thoughts together, so I waited several minutes for a response. Albert looked away and put several fingers in his mouth.
"Albert, did you hear my question?" I asked, and he turned to me, smiling and gurgling. This conversation was not going well. I pressed him for another hour, asking his opinions on a wide range of topics, sure that I would raise a subject on which he would have an opinion. Albert seemed uninterested not only in physics, but also in music, philosophy, religion, biology, history, art, current events, and even sports. Perhaps he hadn't existed long enough to form opinions, so I probed Albert's budding genius using a battery of tests instead, including the Wechlser Adult Intelligence Scale, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Rorschach, Thematic Apperception, and Bender-Gestalt. According to the results, Albert was the very opposite of a genius, and barely qualified as even conscious. I tried to contain my disappointment. Still, I was thankful that "Baby Einstein" uncovered the true lack of potential in my stunted offspring, and now I can save time and expense trying to educate a lost cause. My heart is heavy, but I am thankful I live in a community that has excellent social services and will provide Albert with the structure and care he needs to live out the rest of his life in as meaningful a way as his severely limited intellect will allow.
