Hard work for a doll, 13 Jan 2010

This review is from: Zapf Creation White Baby Born Girl Doll with Magic Potty (Toy)
This doll is just plain hard work for the parent. All the different functions, such as crying, pooing, eating and weeing create mess and often require assistance to achieve. You would need biceps the size of Britain's Best Body Builder to squeeze the arm and get this doll to cry.
There is only one sachet of food provided, and if you want to continue the messy and hit and miss activity of feeding to create a dirty nappy, you need to keep buying the nappies and the food. The result is that this doll just turns into a very expensive ordinary doll, when most of the functions have been abandoned. If my daughter pestered me to replenish the food I suppose I would, but she has never even bothered asking about it since the first time.
She will occassionally be inspired to fill the bottle with water and squeeze it down the doll's throat - if not done at exactly the right angle it all spills out over the face and inevitably then the carpet. It will then fall out the massive hole in the dolls girly places and soak through the tea towl you have hurredly provided your child with (having used the solitary nappy provided), in a matter of seconds. With a tidal surge that will take your breath away.
The potty is a surreal element that I enjoyed. The doll doesn't ever manage to get the pee in the potty, it requires more dexterity and precision sitting than children can manage or be bothered with, but the potty does sing a lovely tune when the doll sits on it. Weird enough for a four year old to ask what is that all about then.
Don't bother. Get a doll with character, like Cabbage Patch.

A lot of money for a doll, 4 Feb 2009

Considering the attention span of very young kids this "must have" toy is a big hit on the budget. The accessories such as the musical potty are bizarre and amusing but soon got separated from the doll. I would suggest saying no, waiting and getting a longer lasting more educational toy.

Girlie toy, 12 Jan 2010

A really nice looking doll and very durable, bigger than my baby was when she was born so quite big for a child to hold and feed at the same time.
Was a little disappointed with the crying real tears, you have to pump the top of her left arm and again i had difficulty doing this so don't know how a young child is to manage. If you want dolly to do a wee on the potty she has to have her legs in a certain position again very complicated for a young child to grasp.
Overall a nice doll which maybe a 4 or 5 year old would use a little better.
