As a future parent, it's important for me to learn the basics of CPR. This DVD made it possible for me to understand and remember the simple steps of saving my child if he or she becomes incapacitated.

I thought this video was good. It gets to the point and lets you stop and rewatch things. I don't need lenghty explanations on how and why, I just want to know how to save a life if I need to. I am buying this for myself and my children's grandparents because I think the video is to the point enough to keep the grandparents interested in watching it all. Not too long and boring.

As a mother of 3 children under the age of 5 I found this program very good. I liked the fact that it wasn't too long. I could go back to any segment that I wanted to and could review it at any time. Unlike attending a full length CPR class which can take hours and I don't need to know the infant material which would be a waste of my time to sit through. It was understandable and definetly worth the price.

I thought that this DVD was a great way to improve my CPR! The child who I am now currently babysitting parent's told me that I needed to know CPR before I could babysit their kid. I also was thinking about learning CPR because I have twin cousins who are 3 years old and I would hate for something to happen to them and I wouldn't know what to do. I have also heard many tragic drowning stories. I think that every babysitter should watch this DVD just incase! Also, if possible to take a CPR class. This DVD really made me realize the dangers there are around swimming pools and small toys that children could choke on! Now I will know what to do if something should ever happen when I would need to use this!

I am going to be babysitting soon and I had taken a babysitting class they talked about choking and CPR but really didn't spend much time teaching it. My mom's friend recommended my mom get this DVD for me to watch and review sometimes. I really liked the beginning when the boy drowns. It made me think how careful I have to be when I am alone with the kids I babysit. I learned a lot from the DVD and will watch it again like the lady said once a month and you will remember it better.

After several close calls and a couple of tragic events in my area, I decided it was prudent to know the skills covered on this DVD. While I have no kids of my own, I am frequently in the company of my nieces and nephews. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to one of them and I did not know what to do. I took a CPR course at a local hospital, but felt it would be good to keep my skills fresh, just in case! This DVD is just the ticket. The instructor is clear and precise in her explanations, and she even covers the newest guidelines soon to be released by the major CPR instruction agencies. As an extra bonus, there is excellent material covering infant and child safety measures you should take around your house to prevent sudden and unexpected tragedies. It's all supported by a board certified pediatrician, so you know you are getting great information. If you have kids, or have loved ones with kids, buy a copy for yourself, and everyone you know!

While I wouldn't advocate relying on a DVD to replace Red Cross CPR training, it was a perfect refresher for me (trained <5 years ago) and enough to make me feel more comfortable with babysitters after they viewed it. It gives all the necessary steps in a clear (if not a little cheesy) way and is concise enough not to bore you to tears.

The new guidelines are included in the DVD and the only change to the old guidelines is the ratio 30:2. The narrator does cover the changes in the DVD and stresses that BOTH guidelines have the potential to save a life which is true. People watching this DVD need to know the basics of CPR and what to do and how to react in an emergency. The numbers are important but not the most important part. What is important is giving people the skills to be confident enough to act in an emergency and possibly save a life.

As the parent of a toddler, I can attest to the fact that you can never be too safe or too well-informed. This DVD is a MUST SEE for not only parents, but also grandparents, babysitters, aunts, uncles - pretty much everyone since there will come a time in most people's lives when they will need to watch after a young child. I feel better prepared now that I've viewed this video.

It is an old version. This is not and updated version. I had to ask for a refund.
