It's very easy for her to use, and she seems to enjoy it emmensely. We have a 10 month old daughter who absolutely loves Jumpstart Baby. She sits on our laps for hours, bouncing away to the music.
I'm about ready to introduce it to my 14 month old son - It's great to have good beginner software out there. This was purchased for my daughter when she was 7 months old - she really didn't grow into it until she was over a year, but at 3 1/2 she still requests it for some of the fun little games.
What more do you want from a baby. still, with this softare, even before age one your child can learn that playing with computers is fun and that "something happens" when he/she presses buttons on the keyboard. But's it's only appropriate in small doses at the beginning.
I used JumpStart Baby with my first son (now 4) and found it to be an excellent introduction to the world of computer software. The comments regarding "waiting" are off-base. I'm a bit baffled by the negative reviews listed here.
if you think children hate to wait then this game is not nearly as frustrating as LeapPad products which are all "sit and listen" and very little "interact." I have just begun introducing the game to my 7 month old and he loves it. (Note: I never encountered any of the installation problems mentioned by other reviewers). The "dress teddy" and "color train" games provided months of fun.
The fact is, babies can't mouse around (as in JumpStart Toddler) -- the best they can do is hit the keyboard and that is exactly how the games are designed to function: to respond with the next logical action when the keyboard is pressed.
She loves the songs, animals and putting teddy "night-night," which makes it easier to stop playing when mom's had enough. He used it from ages 9 months and now my daughter loves it. My son enjoys helping his sister play the games now, which are simple enough to do on their own. This is the second time I'm purchasing this software (the first disk got scratched). I bought it 3 years or so ago for my son.
A complete waste of money, since I threw out the packaging some time ago. Quite simply, the software would not install. Auto-run would run correctly, but clicking 'install' from the Jumpstart welcome screen resulted in nothing happening.
