I bought this tape to entertain my friends' babies when they come to visit. I honestly don't know who loves this tape more though, the babies or their mothers! Even toddlers like to watch and point out the 'babies'. These sweet little faces have provided hours of entertainment at my home. I recommend it anyone who has children or 'entertains' them.

I'm exaggerating, of course. But that was the thank you I got from my sister a month after I gave her this video for her newborn. My niece was staring at the babies on this tape after just 3 weeks - which was amazing. I particularly like it because it doesn't have Barney, or Elmo or some other such character programming my niece when she is still soooo young.

This video captivated my daughter's attention and she is 4 months old. I think it is such a clever idea and so different from the usual cartoons or other types of videos available, especially for infants under 6 months! I highly recommend this video to anyone who wants to stimulate an infant's development.

My mother-n-law gave this to us, and I was quite surprised when my daughter actually watched it. She is only 13 weeks old and really enjoys this video. I've even caught her smiling back at the TV! I work in the court system from 8-10 hours a day, and this is very calming when it comes time to bring the evening to a close. After I've fed her and played with her and read to her and bathed her and fed her again, I'm in the mood to relax and for my brain to stop. That's when I use it. It's true, there were no "twirlies" in it. It's just faces, and she seems to like it just fine.

I'm not into showing my child much TV, but my infant started watching this video when she was only 2 months old, and she is still watching it at 5 months. I needed something like this, desperately. It is soothing, and it doesn't have the music that drives mother's crazy after multiple times. It is pretty basic, with baby faces one after the other, but that is all my baby needs right now. I have some of the newer baby videos that are out, and I just rotate them around. I wouldn't recommend it for kids over a year old though. My toddler doesn't have an interest because she is moving around to much and likes things more upbeat.

I guess I could be described as an "earth child", and what I especially loved about it was that it wasn't selling anything. In this age of "programming" it was nice to have something to show to my 4-month old that held her attention, gave me a minute to get things done, but wasn't sold by Disney or Sesame. It is simple and soothing. That's what counts for me right now.

WOW! WHAT A GREAT DAY IT WAS WHEN THIS VIDEO CAME TO MY DOOR. MY DAUGHTER FROM AGE 6 MOS TO OVER A YEAR OLD HAS LOVED THIS VIDEO. IT GIVES ME 30 MINS TO TAKE A SHOWER, READ A MAGAZINE OR JUST ENJOY WATCHING HER WATCH THE BABIES ON THE SCREEN. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS! IT IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE BOUGHT IT FOR ALL MY OTHER NEW MOM FRIENDS AS WELL!

My grandchildren are entertained for 30 full minutes by this adorable video. They love the music, the colors and the baby's faces. I recommend it to any grandparent who has babysitting responsibility.

I bought this for my baby granddaughter after learning that she was "a little fussy" and has quite a temper. I thought this might give my wonderful daughter-in-law some respite. It did the trick! Baby and mom are both very happy with this, and I highly recommend it. Don't know what to get for that baby shower you're going to attend? Don't have a lot of money to spend? BUY THIS ITEM. Mom and baby will be forever in your debt!

My 13 month old boy has seen so many videos. This is definitely in his top five. He loves baby faces, but the music makes him think it's bedtime. He gets fussy, so I usually play the radio to the video. Another video, "Singing Babies Nursery Rhyme Time" features baby faces that appear to be singing! They sing upbeat nursery rhymes with the wind down songs at the end of the tape. This works much better for my son's viewing habits, plus he is doubly drawn to the babies seemingly singing. I suppose "Face2Face" is good for someone who wants to get their child ready for a nap or bedtime, provided that the child is more willing to do that than mine.
