My daughter is 5 months old and absolutely loves this DVD and the dog.
She watches it while she is in her Jumperoo and bounces like crazy when the DVD is going. She also smiles real big when the animals come on screen.
My son, who is 3 loves it as much as she does so I am gonig to get him the older version of it, the cow. I am very excited to see how great that one is. He totally interacts with it while it is playing, it's great.

Side Note:
For those who are having trouble getting the light to stop blinking make sure to turn up the volume on the t.v. so that it can register in the animal. After the blue light stops blinking turn the volume down and it will work fine.
I thought mine was broken at first until I read the trouble shooting page that said to turn up the volume on the t.v. (kind of loud). Then, again like I said earlier turn the volume down after the light stops blinking and it will work fine :).

I highly recommend this toy!

This toy is very cool! Our baby, 6 months old, loves it and cannot stop staring at the TV. I am not the kind of person who loves TV for babies, but this toy is different. It is so engaging and right on target for babies - it plays peek-a-boo, asks what is behind the door, sings simple songs, all in bright, eye catching colors. As an early childhood educator, I can say with confidence that this toy is developmentally appropriate, which means it is at the right level for our baby, and is truly a fun learning tool for him.

My baby is 8 months old and absolutely loves this DVD and the Dog that comes with it. She seems amazed when the dog talks to her and she'll get so excited and hug it so tight. I don't know much about educational value in television shows and videos; but she seems really in tuned to it, so she is probably learning something. When I watch the Baby Einstein videos I would think there was absolutely no educational value. This seems to have more than the Einstein videos, and it keeps her attention for a very long time. I also do not know about the durability seeming that we just got it for her for Christmas and its now New Years Eve. This is a great buy though, (...). I know thats a lot of money, but not for what you are getting. She can even play with the dog and press the button on his belly to talk when the DVD is off.
I recommend getting one. Friends of ours was over tonight with there 2 year old and she absolutely LOVED it, she was obviously reacting more and talking back to the DVD than my baby. But, it was reassuring that even older children still like it.

My son is 6 months old and usually gets tired of everything pretty quickly. Baby Einstein and signing time do not catch his attention at all! but Backyardigns and this are his favorite. He loves it esp the fact that the dog looks like he's from the TV. This fact makes him laugh and he won't let go of the dog at all. It's a def must for anyone looking for a good toy for the baby that also teaches him things like hello and bye bye and other stuff as well. Just hope they bring out more videos to use with the dolls you already purchased instead of having to purchase a new one, if they do that would make this toy one of the best buys out there.

MagIQ Time

I purchased the MAGIQ DVD for 3-12 months. I got it home, and the stuffed animal would NOT SYNC with our TV. We tried ALL of the televisions in the house. We even resorted to trying it on our two computers. I called, and they were not able to help me with any tech. advice. They said it just happens sometimes. I even turned off my surround sound, which is an important fact that is written no where in the booklet. So, if u have surround sound(most us of in 2009 do), this PRODUCT WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR DVD AND TV. CAN NOT HAVE SURROUND SOUND! The product is amazing, I think, if it would work. ALl the reviews are amazing. I just hate to see someone pay this much, and it not work. Since they are DISCONTINUED, Tiny Love (the brand) are not able to send you a replacement. They wanted to send me some thing that I couldn't even use until my son was 12 months. He is now, 5. lol I did speak to a wonderful, nice lady named Peggy at Tiny Love. She was willing to let me pick what I wanted. If the product works, I can see how well it would work. I so wish that Aaron could have got to try it our. The interactive is amazing technology. It just needs to work correctly!

My son has loved this from the day he got it at 6 months old, and he is now 11 months old. He actually sits still to watch it the whole 30 minutes! He laughs when the animals play peek-a-boo, and bounces around when he sees the other babies. I expected it to be similar to the Baby Einstein videos, but it is not the same at all. I can't wait to get him the next one for his 1st birthday! A great investment with hours of fun!

Parents,
I purchased both the lamb and cow each for $34.99 at my local Babies~ R~Us store. I was looking to purchase the Dog and I am blown away that Amazon has the audacity to charge so much money. This toy is good but not that good to pay over $100.00 especially since I paid ONLY $ 34.99 at my local Babies~R~Us!!!!!! For the price they are asking I expect this toy to not only be interactive but change diapers, vacuum my house and feed my kid breakfast lunch and maybe dinner! UNBELIEVABLE! Before you buy it from this site shop around.

Just looking out.

I couldn't wait for this to come out after reading about it in parenting magazines. My daughter gets so excited when the video comes on and she smiles at all the characters. The songs are really cute and catchy. I can only think of 2 drawbacks:
1. The belly button song is a little silly: "Belly button, belly button, when you touch it great things happen. It's my tiny tickle dot. That's the spot!"
2. What's with the bright blue light?? I'm sure it has to do with picking up the signal or whatever but why does it have to be so bright? I'm worried that it might hurt my daughter's eyes.

My daughter is now 5 months old and this dvd is part of our nightly routine. She loves the colors, music and the talking dog. She holds the dog while watching the show. This teaches much more than the Einstein videos. We have several of the Einstein dvds and they do not keep her attention at all. I feel they have no educational value either. Regardless, I can't wait to get the next age dvd (the lamb and the cow) to see what it has in store for her.

My son absolutely LOVES the DVD MagIQ line. He received the dog for Christmas and it is the only dvd that he can sit through. We tried so many different shows, including Baby Einstein, Sesame Street, and some of the free shows that are on cable. He always lost interest within the first 5 minutes. But with this DVD MagIQ, he was able to sit through the 28 minute show, and sometimes we would even play it twice, and he still would sit and laugh through it. It is especially helpful when I am cooking dinner, and I need something to entertain him because I can't carry him or play with him. I just put him in his high chair, set the dog up and place it right next to him, and he's good to go for about half an hour. This product is definitely better than the Baby Einstein videos, because it is more interactive. It teaches and identifies what certain objects are, and what certain gestures mean (i.e. hello and bye bye). He also learned his waving for "Hello" and "Bye-Bye" through this video. We play peek-a-boo with him, so when it comes on in the video, he is laughing so hard, and absolutely nothing compares to hearing your child laugh!! The music is also catchy, so while he's watching, I'm singing along with the video as well. And my son dances to the songs. All in all, this video is absolutely fantastic. It is definitely a must-buy for parents!!
