We have Baby Signing Time Volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1 is much more fun and engaging - at least to our baby. The music in Vol. 2 is a little less catchy, and the signs taught aren't as relevant (other than "Please, Thank You, Sorry") Our baby loves Volume 1 so much, and seems less interested in Vol. 2 that we mostly play Vol. 1 for him.

I recently purchased Baby Signing Time Vol 1&2 along with Signing Time Vol 1 & 2. My son is 18 months old and my husband and I have been trying to teach him a few signs on our own for months. He was picking them up, but slowly. He's been watching the 4 videos off and on for 2 weeks and has picked up 16 new signs. I have been amazed with his progress. He really enjoys all of the videos; it is great the way they incorporate other children signing. I am planning on buying the rest of the series as well as the Baby Signing Time Vol 1&2 for my niece who is 4 months younger.

We bought these to take with us on vacation so the kids could watch them on our 4 hour drive. I wanted to get our one year old started with signing, we signed with our two other children and it was great to be able to know what they wanted our needed.

The music is great, even my husband sings it around the house, and the older children watch it and help reinforce the signs with the baby.

I would highly recommend it.

They used Singing Time DVD's at our middle child's preschool and she picked it up so fast. So once I saw the Baby Signing Times DVDs I knew it would be great.

My daughter was 3 yrs old when we got these DVDs. She absolutely loved watching the babies, especially baby Hopkins. At first she was used to the format of Signing Time Vol 1-3 so it took her a couple of times to show interest in Baby Signing Time. The beginning of the video is more upbeat, with more movement and towards the end it mellows down, in terms of music. The signs are super easy for babies and the songs just tie everything together. Highly recommended for the under 4 crowd.

I can't say enough good things about all 4 of the Baby Signing Times DVD's. I started with the first DVD when my daughter was about 1. Once she learned most of the signs from the first one, we moved onto the second, then the third, then the fourth...She is now 2 and always asks to watch them. She would rather watch these DVD's more than anything else. She can do (or approximate) almost all of the signs. She has Down Syndrome and delayed speech and signing has been such an amazing way for us to communicate - I am so happy for signing and Baby Signing Times.

Volume 1 is a favorite for my 19 month old daughter (and husband!), but vol 2 is only so-so, the songs just aren't nearly as catchy.

I bought vol. 1 and 2 at the suggestion of a coworker. I found a good price here on Amazon ($25 or so for both). I started letting her watch it at 5 months--not too interested. I let her watch a few more times when she was 6 months, she would watch about 10-15 minutes before she lost interest. Around 7 months, she was hooked! She sits from the time I put in the dvd, until the credits roll. She is very engaged and we try to review the signs with her as we watch. She LOVES hopkins the frog. The kids are adorable and they demonstrate how a child may interepret the signs (their interpretation is not always exact I've learned!). She is now 8.5 months old and I just introduced the vol.2 and she just loves it! It gives us great time together, I sing the songs to her about "its time to eat" and "diaper dance" and "mom has a mom..." and she just smiles with delight and recognition. I highly recommend!

Although these videos are geared towards hearing children, they have been very helpful with my two partially-deaf children (18 months and 5 yrs). Most videos won't keep my 18-month-old's attention because she has a much harder time connecting spoken language with what is going on on the video. Baby Signing Time has been so great at giving her another means to learn communication.

She acually prefers Baby Signing Time Vol. 2 to Vol. 1. I think she likes all the moving objects.

As someone else said, my daughter LOVED volume 1, but wasn't as interested in volume 2. I think this is a GREAT series though. My daughter has been signing all her life and it's so second nature for her. Yes, at times she only signs, but most of the time she says the word as she signs it so no need to worry about it delaying speech.

My 15 month old has loved the Baby Einstein "First Signs" video for months now. She, therefore, knows all the signs and was getting bored with it so I thought this one may be comparable. Not so much...
The signs are accurate and the presentation is ok, but it does not interest my little girl. The music and fast pace of the video is also annoying if you're used to the calmer theme of the Einstein video.

I will continue using this video in hopes that she may start to like it one day - but no luck in the month since we got it! The signs taught are good ones for little ones to know - but this video series (I also have the Signing Time Everyday Signs video) does not get the attention of my little one.

UPDATE 2/2/09- since my review just a few days ago my little one has decided she likes this video! she has 'asked' to watch it for 3 days in a row now and she has started imitating some of the signs. it still annoys me and my thoughts on the video are still the same, however, i will reconsider my plans to not purchase any other ones....we may end up with another signing time video in our house one day.
