Girl in Pink

I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It is adorable and yes, small. However, I feel like it will be the perfect size for her. I added a great value water bottle for size. Opening the package was easy. It is held down by the plastic tags but none of them were attached to the baby or its clothes. I pre-opened the package for convenience for her birthday and it repackaged easily. If my daughter does become attached to it I do like the fact it's small enough I can toss it in the diaper bag without shoving. It seems to be of good quality, the clothes are softer than a dollar store dolls would be and I didn't notice any off-putting smell or off gassing but also I didnt go inhaling the thing so don't quote me on that if your sensitive to that sort of thing.

Bought because it was the only brown eyed baby doll. Its very, very cute. So realistic and right sized for a small child.

This doll is great. I don't know why it has any reviews less than 5 stars. The packaging is suitable for gifting. The doll is 9.5" as advertised, which is small and for me that just added to the charm of it. The outfit is adorable and there weren't any holes in the fabric because of the way it was attached to the box. I love this little doll.

This doll is adorable, but it is very tiny! We ended up returning it for a 15" doll for a 2-year-old. We did stick with the same company, however, because these dolls are very detailed and pretty. They're all good choices--just be sure you think carefully about the size. Also, be aware that these dolls have vinyl bodies rather than cloth, so they aren't squishy-huggable. Again, that's not a problem, but make sure that's what you're looking for.

Hello Friends, I purchased this baby doll for my 2 year old daughter. I love it and so does she. Some elements that make this baby doll so great for the hands of a 2 year old are first and foremost it's size. It's small enough for her to cradle and light enough for her to take on outings. The face of the doll is very precious and the eyes are gentle. My daughter takes great care of this little baby doll and loves to pamper her. I rated the toy mostly four stars because the hat which comes with the doll does not really stay on well. Unfortunately we lost it the first couple of days after we welcomed the doll into our home. That was a little upsetting because the cost of the doll was a little on the high end. I was a little weary about spending money on a doll like this for a 2 year old, but what I've found is that having one or two dolls of excellent quality is worth the investment because they will continue to last and more then likely become a favorite. The dolls we have that are of lesser quality and cheaper are just not as easy to handle, clean or play with for a little girl who is two. Another thing is it's a bit difficult to find a change of clothing for a baby doll this size, and I am still trying to find some so that we can vary her play with the doll. Please reply to this review if you have any suggestions about that. Finally, I personally do not have a problem with the fact that this baby is anatomically correct. She is giving my daughter the identity she needs to find as a little girl. When we "change" the babies diaper (we use my daughters micro preemie diapers we kept from her stay in the NICU), my daughter sees that this doll is like her and that makes it feel more real in some ways. The torso of the baby is so beautifully molded that I am amazed at how realistic some of it's features really are. I think this baby doll has a lot of lovely physical features, and is great for a toddler despite the cost. Let me add that my daughter was a 2 lb preemie. When I first opened the box and removed the baby doll, I so wanted to cuddle it as I did my daughter. She was very close to this size at birth (just had longer legs), and the realistic features of the baby are to say the least exceptional for the value. Hope you enjoyed my review and best of luck with your decision!

I was shocked by the size! I have never seen a doll of this size. It will be perfect for my 1 year old. She will love the doll because it is small enough for her to be able to carry her without worrying about dropping her. Great doll!

Smaller than I thought it would be. Still really cute and looks well made

I have been searching for a doll for my son for a long time now. We have North American Bear Company Rosy Cheeks Baby Blonde Boy which he kinda likes (and is a nice doll), but prefers 'real' looking dolls. I love this doll for a few reasons. First, it is a BOY! I am sad that JC Toys doesn't make a JC Toys La Baby - Colors May Vary (Blue, Pink, Purple) boy version (they no longer make the blue I called) or the JC Toys Lots to Cuddle Twins (Expressions May Vary) with a boy color. I called and they said they have at times carried 'boy' dolls, but their biggest seller is pink. I would just like for my son to have the option. Second, the quality is undeniable. The details are beautiful, the eyes are striking and best of all not made in china (the vinyl is made in Spain) This doll also appears to be very durable (which after already being through a sandbox is important in out house.) Third, is the size. Yes, some people would say this is a down fall, but personally I love that my two year old and one year old can easily carry, cuddle, drag and sometimes even undress this doll. Larger dolls are more difficult for little people to play with. Think of it this way my one year old is only 29" tall, if I got him a 16" doll that would be comparable to a woman who was 5"5" carrying a baby that was 3 ft tall (basically a 2 1/2 year old) Do able, but not the easiest (or most fun) thing in the world. 9.5" to his 29" is like a one month old to a 5'5" person. Totally comfortable. For a larger child I would get a larger doll (just take their height and multiple it by .35 for a good ratio) Fourth, My sons love it. They both call it 'baby' and are sweet with it. I will say for those expecting differently, their play is not like my nieces. They like the baby, but will cuddle and care for the baby one second, then dump sand or leave the baby some odd place the next (just lacking that maternal instinct lol) There was no smell to our doll so that wasn't an issue. I do however wish we could pick expressions because I would consider getting a second if I knew it would be different (which if you buy directly from JC toys you can but Amazon is cheaper). Overall, I think this is a great doll and I will buy again for friends and family.
