This is a good DVD with very good children's songs. Between every song, however, there is an annoying promo for the company that did the DVD. This tends to make my toddler lose interest and we can't make it to the end of the DVD. If you're planning to use it in the car, note that it does not have the auto start feature and has to be started manually.

We first learned about "Baby Boost" by finding it on Comcast On Demand. When our daughter was around the 3-4 month mark, we had a hard time getting her to sleep sometimes. We would turn these on and sing along and "bop" around the living room and she would be out in no time. Now (she is 11 months), we use them for "wind down" time before bed and naps. As soon as she sees Baby Boost she sits back and relaxes, drinks a bottle and after about 10 minutes we put her in bed and she puts herself to sleep. She prefers seeing "real" kids over cartoon characters, so these work for us. The songs are great too.

I ordered this DVD for my son and he loves listening to these nursery rhymes. This is a great buy for little kids in the house.

My daughter first saw the cd in you tube at 3 months old. She was so fixated on it that we decided to get the DVD. Yes, the promo between each song is annoying but at 13 months now, she still loves it and has learnt some actions from the kids on the DVD. Watching kids playing and singing engages her every time...we are bored, but she never is!

This DVD doesn't seem to be professionally done. For the video part of this DVD they just used videos of kids playing at various playgrounds and in some studio set ups, which is OK if your child likes to watch other kids playing, but otherwise there is almost nothing going on to catch a child's attention. The bad part for me though is singing itself. It's like a chainsaw on my ears! The voices are so out of tune! I understand that the creators of this DVD used just real kids to sing the songs, but I wish they'd hired professional children's choir for this production. The logo ad between the songs seems unnecessary but not as annoying as singing itself. I wouldn't use this DVD for musical education for kids.

The Baby Boost promo between songs is just annoying to say the least. Stopped watching it after the first time. I should sell it on Amazon.

DVD has product commercial every other song and most of the songs are not the complete original songs but are shortened or modified versions also the video is repetitious in that the same scenes are used over for multiple songs.

The songs are awesome, but there is a promo for the DVD company between every two songs. My one year old loves the songs, but quickly loses interest during the promos

I learned of Baby Boost on On Demand Cable TV. I played it for my toddler, when I realized how much he liked it, I wanted to buy him his own DVD. I am not one to promote using televison to babysit your children, but I noticed how if Baby Boost was on, my son sat still. Keep in mind he's two, so this is actually impressive. The video contains kid-friendly songs and nursery rhymes that most children learn during their childhood at some point. There is some real-life video of children acting out the words of the songs and other video of kids just being kids. The colors in the video are bright and stimulating. The content of this video is quite refreshing, because you don't have to worry about any material that may be offensive. It's simply just a fun video that you and your child can enjoy together.

I first brought this DVD (from library) when my son was around 1. First few time the promo between every song was VERY annoying! At that time he didn't showed much interest in songs.
But now (son is 1.5 years now) this has became his favourite DVD. He really enjoys all songs. He dances, claps, stomps, turns around etc. etc. Songs are sung well, well acted. One of the reason my son loves this is the fact that most of the songs are sung/acted in his playdate. Now I sometimes use promo break to stop DVD and tell him that DVD has finished.
