All good friends need is an excuse to get together, right? The My Little Pony "Best Friends Ball" playset makes it easy for Ponies to share tales, and shake their tails--the equine way! Twinkle Twirl owns the place, and has plenty of space for at least 3 other Pony party-goers. The play set features a dressing room with an elaborate little vanity; a dessert table with a pop-up cake and lots of accessories; a moving dance floor with lights and sounds; and a romantic balcony in front of a large picture window, presumably for posing or pony-watching. After the event, the studio folds up into an easy-to-carry case with a handle, for taking the party on the road. Requires 3 "AA" batteries. Choking hazard: small pieces included. Diane Beall ...

Very cute item...my 5 yr old loves it!~
My five year old got this for her birthday this year and still plays with it regularly after four months. Her little friends still love to come over and play with the My Little Pony Dance Studio as well. In the world of toys, this is un heard of! (HA!) One thing that is a con on this toy is the fact that it does fall apart easily but it is just as easily put back together.

Buy this instead of the castle
Based on the castle reviews, I am really glad my little girl got this instead of the class. It can fall appart pretty easy
, but the parts are easy to put back on. It folds up neatly and you can squueze about 5 more ponies in once it's closed. A few cute, but very small parts (glasses, cake). It's loud, the dance floor spins, and lights up, so my 3 year old loves it. It's cheaply made, but she loves it. And, it's a great travel toy.

Finally, a pony playset of good quality!
This awesome dance studio is definately five stars! (It's much better made than that castle, and is ten dollars less.) Getting it out of the package and ready to play, complete with the nessescary three triple A batteries, took us less than ten minutes.
The studio folds up into a case complete with a handle for traveling, and opens into a huge ball room with revolving dance floor. When you press a button, lights flash and one of three songs play. A pony can stand on each of the three colorful wheels, one of which spins on its own.
Ponies can practice in the rehearsal studio, which includes a barre, a vanity, and a screen for changing. The vanity drawers pop open and posters of the various inhabitants of Ponyville dancing plaster the walls.
On the opposite side of the studio, ponies can snack on one of five delicious treats, have some punch, or watch the performance from a balcony.
We appreciated the better quality and play value of this playset, and hope you will too!

MLP dance studio- GREAT BUY!
My step-daughter loves this toy! I pre-ordered this item and recieved yesterday and she's been playing with it since, non-stop. It plays music, and seems pretty durable. We accidently pushed the window out but it popped right back in place. It's very cute and the she loves wacthing the MLP's dance around the turn tables on it. There's nothing educational about though, just fun for the girls. And it comes with 16 pony points, if your interested in that. I deffinetly recommend this for all MLP fans. ... Read more

Dora the Explorer fans (especially those with Dora's Talking Casa Doll House) won't want to be without the poseable plastic figures in this gift set. Dora comes with her faithful sidekicks: a backpack and her puppy. Abuela (Grandmother) has a lovely vase of flowers, Diego travels nowhere without his baby jaguar and field notebook, and Boots and Tico get around with their scooter and fire engine. Rugged adventurers, these! Children will enjoy incorporating the figures into Dora playsets (not included), or venturing out into explorations of their own. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Polly doesn't need to hop around town to fill her day with fun. Her way to "vaca" is to do it all in one place. This set allows Polly and her best buds (buds not included) to shop, sleep, and play at one cool "resort", thanks to detailed rooms to be filled with 45 different pieces of furniture, accessories, and clothes. In one doll-day, Polly can hang at the hotel, catch some rays in a hot tub, eat great pizza and cuisine, charge out her credit cards at fancy shops, or catch at thrill on the amusement park's real, 8-inch diameter Ferris wheel. Choking hazard: many small pieces included. Diane Beall ... Read more

Watch out Emeril! Future Gourmet Chef at work!
We got this for our daughter's 2nd birthday after reading ALL the reviews, and even wrote to Step 2 FIRST to inquire about some common problems. The dishrack HAS been fixed and the dishes don't fall out. The instructions don't seem to be in a logical order: we put the decals on FIRST while the pieces are easier to get to(which are very forgiving: you can remove if not lined up right!); make SURE you have batteries (12 AA for the Dream kitchen); put spindles and door/drawer knobs on before assembling big pieces together. Just seems to make more sense that way. Took about an hour for the 2 of us to assemble. Some holes are NOT drilled, so have a drill on hand. The fridge door is fine on ours, but the keypad next to the microwave is not quite centered, so the microwave door catches on it and is hard to open and close. Maybe can remedy by redrilling the top hole for keypad. Also like the idea of taping a string behind keypad for ease of removing to change batteries.

Lots of FUN sounds and "boiling/sizzling" sounds also stop on their own after about a minute. Daughter LOVES it so far! Well Worth the money, but shop around: found $15 difference in shipping cost from here to Target.com. VERY durable: 20lb cat jumped up on it - didn't tip or move at all! After the assembly, you'll love it! Hope/expect to have many years of fun play out of it!

The Best Kitchen Out There
My daughter received this kitchen for Christmas when she was
1 1\2. I was worried she wouldn't be interested in it, i thought maybe she was a little young, but she started to play with it right away, and hasn't stopped since. Everyday she is cooking Mommy something. It wasn't as hard to put together as i thought, and it is very durable. My daughter plays rough, and not one thing is broken or cracked. My only regret for this kitchen is it doesn't have a lot of counterspace. Ever since she got it, everyone wants to buy her blenders, and coffepots, and toasters, but there is no room to put it in her kitchen. Also my daughter wishes the faucet made noise. it is a great value for the money as well. It's is the only kitchen I could find that wasn't pink & purple, and I plan to have a boy eventually, and I try to buy larger toy items that can be used by either a girl ot a boy. This is a GREAT value, and anyone in the market for a kid's kitchen should definitely purchase this one.

Well worth the money!
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she loves it. It keeps her occupied like no other toy she has. She loves to help me in the kitchen and now she has her own, her size. I read other reviews about this product and I didn't have any of the problems other people say they did. It was easy to put together, I do, however, recommend using an electric screwdriver, it'll go much faster that way. My daughter thinks the overhead light is the coolest thing ever and no worries, it shuts itself off within minutes if they forget to. So no wasting batteries. This kitchen is well worth the money I paid for it and has all the storage space they could need for thier dishes and food. My only complaint, actually it's more my daughters, is that she wishes the faucet made noise like everything else does.
Anyway, all the doors fit right and it is sturdy. My advice is just take your time assembling it. I'd say it took me about an hour to put it all together, decals and all.

Very Happy Mommy
My 3 yaer ols son recieved this as a gift for his 3rd birthday. He has played with it everyday since he got it. Its big and has lots of things to do. And I LOVE that it is the only kitchen out there that is not pink and purple. It suits either a boy or a girl. It was very easy to put together and you dont have to worry about it tipping over onto anyone. The bottm is heavy enough to support the wieght on the top. The light has an automatic shut off, which is a great feature. Keeps the batteries from dieing so fast from little ones forgetting to turn it off. I will be purchasing more Step2 toys in the very near future! ... Read more

very fun to play with
my dad bought this for my little sisters 3rd birthday and she loved it he also bought the individual carseats (that come with the doll) like our twin brothers travel system and she puts the carseat in the back since the front doesnt have a tray(thats one thing she doesnt like)and pushes it everywhere it folds down very easy and is worth your money

Great toy for girls who love dolls
This is a great toy that inpirers girls that love dolls and kids.

Great for a horse or animal enthusiast
My 4-year old daughter got this 8 months ago and it is a winner. The two compartments, many doors, storage areas and folding fence give her all she needs to make her space for her many horses and other animals. It gets used every day and nothing has broken.

Worth the money
This play barn is exactly what I was looking for for my 4 year old son who is a Horse enthusiast. It is much bigger than I expected, beautiful, and has lots of opening doors and gates. It also comes with a fence that folds up and stores neatly in the barn. This barn is big enough for Breyer horses, and has an a swing out side. It was a great purchase and highly recommended.

Nice barn for toy horses
Just got this item today and I am impressed with it's compatibility for various sizes of toy horses. I especially love the fact that it can be folded up to a smaller size to be tucked into a closet when needed.

This barn has multiple doors that open-some slide and other's are dutch doors. We do have another barn of this type that has the dutch doors and the hinge's fell apart right away. I am hoping this one will be better since the doors do seem to open and close more smoothly on this particular barn...but need to stress that the kids need to be somewhat 'gentle' with these dutch doors so they don't break the hinges. The manufacturer really should attach them with metal hinges and they would last alot longer.

Overall...I feel my kids are going to get alot of enjoyment out of this barn. ... Read more

Great Addition to Dollhouse!!
My 3-year-old daughter received this for her birthday and loves it!She also got the dollhouse, some figures, and Dora's bedroom.She is in love with all of it!She especially loves the talking pool and deck set b/c she loves to pretend the characters are swimming!It comes with a lounge chair, a cooler that flips over from drinks to food, and a dora figure in ponytails and a bathing suit with a duck swim ring.She is very cute!This was a great addition to the house and attaches to the outside for great play!

Excellent
My daughter loves this. She can play with it night day, and i like it, because you learn English, and Spanish. This helps out in school. She doesn't go yet, but her brother starts kindergarten this year.

Happy at last
I am very happy that we were able to purchase the pool and deck furniture. My 3yr.old daughter,Morgan, really enjoys having Dora jump off the diving board and relax by the pool wearing the rubber duckie ring. She enjoys listening to the phrases from the diving board, too. It was a good idea for Fisher Price to include an extra Dora doll with the pool set.

the best accessory for Dora's house!
We found this stocked on a shelf in a local store before Christmas and snatched it up, since we couldn't find ANY of the other attachments for the Dora house.
Since then, we've bought several of the furniture packs and I can say by far, this is the one my daughter plays with the most. In fact, she plays with the pool most of the time and totally disregards the house!!!The diving board, when pushed, makes cute sounds and phrases and comes with a really cute duckie ring =) ...

We love it!
I'm sorry so many have had trouble with this toy.My daughters love it.They are 7 & 9 and after some practice they had it going right every time.You cannot shove Polly in the dressing room or yank her out.The clothes WILL fall off.We will buy more Polly Quik-Cliks.This is a really neat toy!

WOAH.....
WOW...everyone here is brutal while reviewing this playset-I completely disagree-I had none of the problems everyone else had here-all the clothes clicked immediately on Polly when she gets slipped into the changing room-comes out of the curtain no problem too-I think it is a very creative idea with the magnetic doll and the clothes-none of the magnets fell off, the clothes had no problem staying on the clothes applicator....nope no complaint here(and believe me I have no problem complaining about mismanufactured toys- just check out my other reviews)

I would suggest to the previous reviewers here with all their problems to call the manufacturer personally. I once had a missing piece to a Polly playset- I called them and they sent me a coupon for $10.00 off any Mattel toy. Either look on the back of the toy or on the instruction sheet to get the 800 telephone number. It sounds to me that it may be a manufactures defect in some of the products everyone in the review section had-might have been the first ones off the assembly line. I guarantee that Mattel would treat you well...they would rather send you a measly $5.00-$10.00 coupon rather than to lose your business which brings them billions of bucks a year.....YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST GUYS!!!!!

Totally Coolto play with
My daughter got this for Easter and we all love it!!!I read the other reviews and Im sorry theirs dont work properly, but ours works just like its supposed to.

It is enginered so that you can only put the clothes on the thing one way....so that the front will always be in front, ect.
So if they fall off, you know you put it on wrong.And then you lower the shute slowly and push Polly into the dressing room slowly till you hear a "click".That click is the clothes "jumping" onto the doll!!!!It is so Cool to watch!!!

We took this to Grandmas house to show her and all the adults sat and played with it for hours.....our only disappointement was that we only had one Click-it Polly to play with!!!!But the regular polly's got to be the store owner, so we still got to play with them!

This is probably the coolest Polly product out there.And we will definetly be buying more of the 'click-it' products to go with it.

It doesn't work as described!
We received this as a birthday gift. The "dressing room" is supposed to place the clothes on the doll but, in practice, it doesn't work. First, the plastic clothes are difficult to place in the holders when the clothing applicator is in the top position. Second, the clothes don't stick to the "applicator" - they fall off as you lower them into the chute and end up wedged into the bottom. Third, when you slide Polly into the dressing room, she gets hung up on the "curtains" and it takes 2 hands - one holding the slider and one to lift the curtain out of the way. Fourth, any clothes that DO stick to the applicator all the way down to reach the doll don't end up on the doll. The applicator didn't close enough to attach the magnetic clothes. There is a 1/2 - 3/4 inche gap between the clothes and the doll.

It's just easier to manually dress Polly without the silly "magic dressing room".

The clothes are the magnetic version of Polly Pockets. I personally prefer the older rubberized clothes that stretch to fit. I've not been impressed with Polly Pockets in general as the non-clothing accessories don't seem to work as described (cars, carrying cases, etc.)

All the itty bitty teeny weensy pieces are destined to get lost almost immediately or sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. But, that's true for all Polly Pockets. Don't buy any Polly Pockets if you have children under the age of 3 around. They are bound to end up choking on piece or shoving a tiny shoe up an orifice.

We advised the gifter not to purchase this in the future as it just doesn't work! We exhanged this toy for a Fairytopia Barbie.

DisappointedMom
We bought this toy today and it's terrible.It does not work as advertised.You place the clothes on the "loader" and put the doll in the "dressing room".However, when you push down on the plunger to dress the doll, no matter how slow you go, the back of the doll is too close to the clothes and it knocks them off, while the front of the doll is nowhere near close enough to touch the doll.Very bad design....this is the worst Polly Pocket toy ever (and we have bought a few!) ...

classic dollhouse is still a hit!
This loving family dollhouse is certainly amazing. It's well built,AND it has two BABIES unlike the special edition townhouse. It also has very nice touches such as the fireplace in the den, roomy fridge, balcony on the second floor, and extra play space on the very top. Take my word for it, this is not all. for the low,low,low price of fifty dollars, it is really worth it. Every single penny. If you are looking for a special dollhouse that your kids will play with for more than five or six weeks, the classic dollhouse is the one! you will really enoy this and hurry to the toystore before they are sold out!!!!

Good gift
My two girls love this house. If I had to say anything bad about the house would be the door didnt stay on and the room are a little small.But overall we really been happy with this toy we love the people and funiture they make for the house. They are made real well.If you have younger girls and want to start barbie I would go with this toy first, same thing but better for younger girls.

Loving Family Dollhouse Still a Favorite After 5 Years
We bought the original Loving Family Dollhouse when my daughter was 3 years old. She is now nearly 7 and still loves to play with it. We buy new furniture and accessories every year. Though the housing "styles" may change, the premise is still the same - little girls love playing with dollhouses and Fisher-Price has created all the family members, accessories and pets to make every playtime fantasy come true. What a great buy and enduring toy for our family!

Still lots of fun
This was a huge hit this year, and the kids love it. I had held off on buying on Fisher Price's previous version, the Home and Stable when I heard they were bringing back the Classic version. I had heard there were problems with the stable versions durability and I thought the classic version would give more rooms.

No complaints so far on the classics durability, everything is still intact after a month of play.

However, I didn't really find more room in the house, and other than the durability concern I'm not sure if we wouldn't have been just as happy or happier with the Home and Stable version. The room on top is shown as a playroom and unlike the previous version, in the classic it is enclosed, this limits the furniture you can put in this room and what to use the room for. The main family room in the middle also seems to be more enclosed. The niches and stuff they added are cute, but a great deal is made about getting the loving family furniture so I think it should fit and compliment the house better. The smaller rooms on the left, especially the nursery we found to be very cramped. I do have last years nursery, so it could be the furniture we have, but we can't put all the furniture into the room and we found the room below seems to be a waste as well. And, the slanted roof on the nursery and bathroom make the already small rooms about an inch even smaller since you can't fit the furniture all the way in. We also found the way the classic one folds up (the floor fold into the house) you can't fit as much furniture in it when play times over, so we needed to get a tote to store the rest of the furniture.

I had more than one kid get just mildly annoyed that the furniture didn't fit right, match the rooms layout or stickers or windows. But even with that the kids still love it! Definitely a hit!

Fun dollhouse with a few minor flaws
My daughter got this for her 4th b-day. She was so excited. She has played with it almost everyday. One flaw is that the doors fall off all the time. Second, the rooms are kind of small for the furniture you can buy to go with it. It only comes with a mom,dad and baby so I bought the sister and brother dolls right away. Overall though, I would still recommend this dollhouse. ... Read more

Best Birthday Gift
My daughter got this for her first birthday and she loves it. She loves to feed the baby with the soft bottle and the carrier makes it easy for her to travel with baby. I totally disagree with the last comment posted about "Save your Money" the items are made small for small little hands, but they are not small enough for choking hazzards. We will be giving this as birthday gifts to other little girls within our family and friends circle.

Soft & sweet!
This will be a fun doll for my little one who will be a year old in a few weeks. It seems safe and soft, although it is a little smaller than I expected. I think my little girl will really enjoy it, although I'm not sure I would say the doll & accessories are a good value.

They call this doll my FIRST baby doll for a reason...
This doll is fantastic for VERY YOUNG children. I bought this for my twins who are just turning one. They are in love with their older sister's baby dolls, which they really shouldn't be playing with due to choking hazards. This doll is appropriately sized for a very small child, with embroidered eyes, mouth, etc. It is a stuffed doll, so no problem if your child sucks on it. Very soft, so nice for giving hugs. The small bottle and teddy bear are large enough that they do not pose choking hazards. Yes, the doll is hard for a child to dress, but the kids I think it is most appropriate for are not yet old enough to rip clothes off and dress it. The bed is also soft fabric, another bonus for the very young kid. I didn't know what to expect when I placed my order and was VERY pleased with the result. Perfect 1st birthday gift. Don't even THINK of giving this to an older (say 2 year old) child.

Save your money.
I bought this doll for my 2 year old. She loves anything baby-related so I thought this would be a nice addition to her toy collection. It's cute and soft, but really LITTLE. It comes with a bed/carrier, LITTLE teddy bear, LITTLE blankie (think washcloth), and a LITTLE stuffed bottle of milk. I'm aware that the dimensions of the doll are listed in it's description, but I rarely whip out my tape measure to see how big it really might be, I just assumed it would be a bit bigger. So, size might not matter for any reason except the following: such a LITTLE doll wears such LITTLE clothes that it is hard to dress and undress. My daughter is ok with ripping off the clothes, but even I have trouble putting them back on, and you could only imagine how much harder it is for the tiny fingers of a 2 year old. She gets very frustrated and screams for me to come and help her (of course, only to rip them off again, and so on!). She likes feeding and burping the doll, but thats basically it. I'd say for the same money there are plenty of others out there. ... Read more

Cute toy with only a few problems
The furniture is so cute. My daughter loved setting up the rooms. However, the furniture is almost too big for the rooms. We have the classic dollhouse. I don't know how it would fit in other dollhouses. The bathroom is an especially tight fit. Also, the laptop and book that came with it kept coming apart. That said, I am glad we have it because my daughter loves playing with it.

TIME CONSUMING
INITIAL SET-UP IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AS FAR AS APPLYING THE STICKERS. FURNITURE INCLUDED IS CUTE, BUT NOT MUCH THERE. HAD TO RUN OUT TO THE TOY STORE FOR OTHER ITEMS. MY DAUGHTER PREFERS NOT TO HAVE THE SOUND EFFECTS ON. VERY CUTE TO LOOK AT. VERY HARD TO PACK UP FURNITURE TO CLOSE CORRECTLY.

A must have for your dollhouse
This 3 room set is a must have for your Loving Family dollhouse! It's so much fun and really helps to fill up the space. I especially love the little potty chair that comes w/ the bathroom, the globe that actually spins around, the lap top that opens up and the easle. Oh, and the desk for the little girl to work at. You get a lot for your money.

Terrific Buy!!!!
I am very happy with this set. Not only is it a great buy but everything fits into the Fisher-Price Loving Family Sweet Sounds dollhouse. I really like how they attach the washcloth and shower head to the tub. Then they don't get lost. I think anyone will be happy with this set. Nice addition to the house!!

Took a chance...
I was hesitant to purchase this item since no photo or product description was available to show what rooms were included, but I decided to take a chance. Luckily, I am pleased with the toy. But, I don't think I saved any money by buying the group, this is why I didn't rate 5 stars. This package includes a bathroom (footed bathtub, blue vanity with sink, toilet, potty chair etc.), playroom (globe, easel, bookcase etc.) and kid's bedroom. From my research, I've concluded that these are three of the lower priced rooms. The kid's bedroom, not available at Amazon at the time I write this review, is a teenager's bedroom (stereo, laptop, TV, twin-size daybed etc). I hope this information helps you with your decision. ... Read more

CEEEWWWWWTTT!
I collect MLP's, and this one was no exception. One thing I have to say is that this pony is such a little cutie! As a child, I was never much into human baby dolls. Too bad toy companies didn't come out with things like this when I was younger.

Petal Dove is a really cute baby pony. Press the heart on her hoof, and she giggles. If you give her the bottle (or stick your finger in her mouth), she makes slurping noises. When you remove the bottle (or finger), she hiccups, and then she yawns a few seconds later, and turns herself off. You can start her up again by feeding her, or pushing the heart on her hoof.

My sister, (who's older than me by the way) can't seem to get enough of playing with her when she gets a chance. But there's one thing I don't like about this toy. I LOVE the yawning sound effect she makes, but she only makes it after you feed her. There's nothing you can do to get her to yawn, except if you feed her.

But on the plus side, she's just so goshdarn cute! ... Read more

Great toys! BOTH races are available!
My daughter plays for hours with her Loving Family--BOTH caucasian and african-american versions. There are indeed both available, and we have a mixture because our circle of friends includes people of different ethnic backgrounds. We want our children to value diversity. Try Fisher-Price.com--I have had to order items that we want but cannot find in the stores. Or go to the Wal-Mart in Greenville, Mississippi, where the ONLY loving family dolls available are the african-american version!! Perhaps that is because the majority of the population there is african-american--but they do not stock the caucasian dolls. Don't blame Fisher-Price--they do make BOTH!!

Race IS an issue
I have tried to buy a black family with the house and found none, not even in the store. While I don't want to raise children to be prejudiced, I truly believe self-esteem and identity can be greatly affected, especially in the early years, through play and the stereotypes presented. Most toy manufacturers automatically include white dolls with their toys.
Mattel and Fisher Price have both had problems with this in the past. The Toys R Us in our neighborhood caters to mostly black and Hispanic, yet quite often, TOO often, the only families available are white. Maybe Amazon, who caters to a WORLD market, could influence this situation.

My daughter Loves the Loving Family
I read a review about the race of the dolls in the Loving Family house only being caucasion, not true. My daughter is 4 years old and and caucasion, but I bought the house with an African-American family to teach her about other families in the world. I think Fisher-Price does a great job of showing children the different types of people in this world. I am not a bias mother and don't want my children to feel that caucasions are any better than any other race--we should all be treated equal. My main reason for buying this set was because I raise my children at home and feel that through play she will learn to appreciate other races before she goes to school. Thanks to Fisher-Price for helping me teach my daughter how to appreciate other people.

Once again disappointed with fisher price
I am really tired of fisher price/Mattel continued insults on this matter. Not all children who purchased the loving family doll houses are caucasian, so why do you continue to make caucasian families for the doll houses and no african american or different ethnic figures, you discust me. Stop being bias, I want to see an african american doll giftset from your company and so does every other ethnic person. If you are going to make a caucasian family, make families of color as well, just don't make a few pieces. Or do you want only to do business with some people and not all?

Item Photo doesn't reflect the inclusions
To be fair, I wrote to Amazon to ask for a clear explanation of this item, why it was priced so high. In fact they had no answer but to say what is pictured is what you get. This in fact is not an accurate picture of the inclusions. The price is high because in fact you get several other figures. You get a Grandma with kitty and carrier. You get a baby-sitter with little girl, as well as the sister and brother in the picture which alone sell for $6.00. This picture is misleading. You get a few more figures then lead to believe. I took the chance and liked what I got for my $16.00. The quality is very good and will be tons of fun for Santa to leave under our tree. ... Read more

Rock-a-bye baby--when this doll is patted, the crying will stop. Rock A ByeChou Chou makes lots of cooing and burbling sounds, and just like a real baby, she criesfor attention, too. She can be comforted by patting her firmly on the back or by giving hera bottle or her own pink pacifier. When Chou Chou is placed on her back to sleep, herblue eyes close, and she "falls asleep" with gentle, regular breathing sounds. When she'spicked up, her eyes pop open and she "wakes up" with giggling or crying. The 19-inchdoll has the same high-quality materials and construction of all Zapf dolls, with a pretty,hard-vinyl face, molded vinyl hands and feet, and bean-filled arms and legs for a cuddlyfeel. Rock A Bye Chou Chou wears a pink and white sleeper with a matching cap, andshe requires three AA batteries (not included) to power her coos and cries. --MarcieBovetz ... Read more

What a WONDERFUL doll!!!
Santa brought this doll for my 18 month old daughter last Christmas. I know that the appropriate age starts at 3 years old, but we have had no problems. In examining the doll, I found nothing that could be hazardous to my daughter. I think the manufacturer put that age on the box, because they thought an older child might get more out of the doll. However, my daughter has learned quite a bit herself, and I am sure it is a doll that will grow with her.

This doll is a big bone of contention when her five year old cousin comes over to play. They both want the doll at the same time. My daughter gets really protective, and tells her older cousin: "MY BABY". It is really neat to see her mothering instincts come alive with this doll. She carries it around everywhere with her, and gives it lots of hugs. She loves to hear the sounds it makes when she gives the doll a bottle or pacifier. I am extremely happy she received this doll.

Since my niece loves the doll so much, I am purchasing one for her today. Now, maybe I can have some peace when she comes for a visit.... HIGHLY recommended from me. No problems at all...

She seems like an amazing doll but my two little girls (ages 2 and 4, who love dolls and take good care of their toys) just don't like her. And she's already broken about a year after purchase. Her eyes just open and close continually when turned on. I tried new batteries so that wasn't the problem. The clothes were really awful. They looked old and worn out quickly, so I purchased her some new ones (not cheap) that weren't terry and that solved the problem with that. I paid full price for her so I am terribly disappointed. Also, beware that the bottle is very sharp for those who still put things in their mouth, especially toy bottles. But there is a pacifier to use if you must hide the bottle. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Now my daughter wants a baby you just push her tummy to make her talk. Get one of those instead.

A must have for little mommy's/daddy's
My daughter begged Santa to bring this baby to her - and when he did she has been the best little mommy ever since! The doll is weighted just right and makes all the cute baby noises that baby's do - but she's not too loud. We don't care for the bald head/sculpted hair look so we jumped online and bought a baby doll wig for less than $10 and she's even more adorable and unique. This baby is well worth the money!! Zapf always makes such good quality toys we have never been disappointed. We highly recommend this baby for any aspiring mommy or new big sister or brother, our three year old son likes to take of the baby too. PS - she's very sweet with her bald little head, the wig was just something we did.

Lasting item
I was searching for additional outfits for my daughter's chou chou doll when I decided to add my comments. Two years ago I searched for a realistic first doll for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Chou Chou is what I found and she has lived up to every expectation. My daughter seems to have gravitated toward the smaller dolls such as the madeline 8 inch collection and now even smaller the polly dolls and accessories. But she continues to have Baby Chou Chou on hand sleeping in her own bed nearby. She loves to change doll clothes, so I try to always have accessories for all her favorites. One thing I must say is that for a doll who is approaching the end of a 2nd year with us, she has remained in excellent condition. No signs of wear. She doesn't go through tons of batteries either. We've replaced them once a year or so. I would highly recommend this doll. I agree with one of the other comments about the velcrow on the terry. Snaps might have been a better idea. I think the accessories for this doll are nice but a little pricey. My daughter loves to feed chou chou her bottle and give her pacifier to her. Sometimes she's had to bring her to me to stop her crying. Takes a firm pat on the back. She loves it and that's all that matters to me. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Imagine a combination spa and playground…this is life in the Littlest Pet Shop! A bobble-headed puppy and hamster have the run of this folding plastic play set, with a clear tube for the hamster to run through, a hydrant/sleeping loft for the pooch, a fish tank with "swimming" fish, an exercise wheel, and lots more. Magnets imbedded in the pets and some of the accessories allow magical action: running hamsters, a toy box that pops open, and the convertible hydrant. Puppy and Hamster can invite over some of their other Littlest Pet Shop bobblin'-headed friends (not included), and let them spin in front of a window, preen in the bathroom or hang out on any of the various perches and nap spots throughout the shop. Cute and clever--sure to inspire hours of absorbing entertainment! --Emilie Coulter ... Read more
