Pros: A fun and educational way to introduce your baby to the computer.
Cons: None!
Summary: I find it amazing how many products are on the market for small children, even babies! When I was in high school we didn't even have very many computers and they were nothing like they are today. Boy, am I showing my age or what?!?
I know how ... read more

Pros: Tots can use alone, lotsa bang for the buck
Cons: Teddy's voice grates, and some games so simple, mom and dad may go nuts

Pros: Great software.
Cons: Don't buy it for the baby ball.
Summary: Contrary to some reviewers (the minority of them) I think a baby should use a computer. My son is just over a year old, and he loves this software package. Some "experts" will make this sound horrific, painting pictures of children drooling ... read more

Pros: great games
Cons: none really
Summary: I know computers are very important in the world today, so I knew that I wanted to get my children to know the computer from a young age. I started buying all the programs for babies and toddlers that I could. This is a good one, not one of our favorites ... read more

Pros: OK for very young (<1 year)
Cons: poor customer support, some parts of program don't work
Summary: My son loves to play this game, but I have some serious gripes about the performance of the software and the "Baby Ball" which came with the program.

Pros: needs only a key stroke to operate it
Cons: can be a bit much for younger ones (under 1)
Summary: My daughter was so fascinated by the computer that we purchased this product. While I am not a huge fan of plopping your kids infront of a computer or TV to "babysit" them, I believe that sitting with your child to enjoy the computer is a ... read more

Pros: Very easy for your baby to play
Cons: Baby won't be able to switch games w/out help
Summary: I'll admit, that was my first thought when I saw this sitting on the shelf at the store. But after we finally got it and saw my daughter's reaction, my opinion changed drastically!
Being married to a computer geek, it is inevitable that we ... read more

Cons: music can get on your nerves
Summary: Come along for some computer fun with Teddy Bear as your guide in Jump Start Baby. We bought this as one of my sons first computer games. I was skeptical that he would be interested in a computer game so young but this is for ages 9-24 months. Once they ... read more

Pros: Interactive Baby Ball comes with set
Cons: you have to buy set in order to get baby ball
Summary: I purchased Jump Start Baby with the Baby ball for my one year old. I would have to say that this is the best computer software for a young toddler. The Baby ball is a replacement to your mouse and keyboard for use with the Jump Start Baby software. ... read more
