Polly Pocket is slowly building an empire of accessories and alternative homes that may soon rival her more famous colleague Barbie. But unlike Her Pinkness, Polly doesn’t seem intent on pursuing a wide variety of challenging careers, preferring instead to just hang out and enjoy all her cool stuff. The star attraction here is a four-room hotel setting with bedroom, living room, bathroom, and patio. Adding to the fun is a sort of combination Ferris wheel and roller coaster where little cars are spun to the top of a wheel before rolling down a curving ramp to the wheel’s base. Also included is Polly’s friend Shani, dressed in festive apparel, and equipped with a couple of more rides: a two passenger contraption that spins passengers around as they descend a pole while riding in cars and a double swing set. As with any Polly Pocket set, there are zillions of tiny accessories; this makes pretend play all the more fun but parents should make sure very young kids get nowhere near. --Charlie Williams ...

With bright eyes and outstretched arms, this adorable Cabbage Patch Kid is ready for lots of hugs. Like all of the Cabbage Patch Kids, she arrives with her very own birth date, adoption certificate and name, making her a unique collector's item--in addition to being a great playmate. Measuring a full 16-inches from head to toe, she comes with a full set of removable clothes, including a green dress, socks, sturdy plastic shoes, and a realistic diaper that can also be removed during pretend diaper changes. ...

Cute for smaller hands
My daughter wanted this toy because she loves HK. The price seemed right for a toy that can be taken places and store all pieces inside. My only problem is that one half of the house opens and the children are forced to reach inside to grab the characters and/or furniture. If moms or dads played along you might have a difficult time retrieving the items and your own hand for that matter! Seems like durable plastic for house and furniture and the characters are rubber. A good pick for the money. ... Read more

Packed with essentials, this set will surely spring wee caregivers intorealistic baby play.

Love Baby Born!
I love Baby Born! She needs more diapers though but my mom found more on the Zapf-Creation website.

thanks
thanks for making the bag beacause she need more then one diapers some time we buy real diapers

GETTING A NEW DIAPER BAG FOR BABY
HI THERE, MY RESPONSE TO THE REVIEW IS THAT I AM BASICLY LOOKING FOR SOME ACCESSORIES TO GO WITH THE DOLLS THAT I MAKE. YOU SEE, I AM A DOLL MAKER, AND I LOVE TO SHOP AT TOYS R US I THINK IT IS A WONDERFUL A STORE. FOR FUN I LOVE TO SHOW A YOUNG GIRL(MOMMY) HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER AND CLOTHES ETC. FOR EDUCATION, I WOULD TEACH A YOUNG GIRL (MOMMY)HOW TO PACK THE DIAPER BAG FOR ALONG TRIP. DURABILTY, HOWEVER, THAT WOULD DEPEND ON THE YOUNG GIRL(MOMMY). BUT FOR ME, I MYSELF, WOULD MAKE IT LAST.

My first baby born diaper bag and baby born doll.
Every since I saw it on t.v. I knew that I had to have that diaper bag and doll. That is what I wanted for X-mas. She is fun to play with just as if she was my own baby to talk to and play with.

We were very pleased with the diaper bag set.
We were very pleased with the Baby born diaper bag set. It has everything my little 5 year old daughter needs to take care of her 'baby'. The only complaint I have is that i would like to purchase more original baby born diapers, and can't find them in any stores or any web sites. We had to buy another brand to keep the baby dry!. We are very pleased with everything purchased for baby born so far, it is my daughters favorite doll and 3 of her friends at her daycare have since talked their parents into a baby born of their own! ...

L:ittle Red Stable
This a totally fun toy, it is so much fun to play with abd pretend that you have your own stable. It is very durable although the horses legs are easliy bent, It is a very educational toy becasue it teaches you what you need to have happy and healthy horses.

FUN FUN FUN
My mom got this for me and I have been playing with it ever since! I collect stablemates and I think whoever collects them should get this barn!

Cute, but only suitable for display
My daughter (aged 5 when she received this item, now turning 7) loves the Breyer horses and the Little Red Stable. Unfortunately Breyer is to look at, not play with. The horses do not stand well and several have suffered broken legs. The Stable is made of a very thin, almost brittle, plastic. My daughter is not rough with her toys, and though she enjoys playing with the set, the broken horses and sharp plastic are a put-off. I wouldn't recommend this for enthusiastic play or for portable entertainment.

RATE HORSE STABLE SET
I THOUGHT THAT THE HORSE STABLE WAS VERY CUTE AND MY SON LOVES HORSES. HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GREAT FOR ALL HIS HORSES TOO STAY IN. HE COULD PUT SOME IN THERE TO TRAVEL WITH WHERE EVER HE GOES. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT TOY FOR ANY CHILD WHO LOVES HORSES.

Stablemates Little Red Barn
I apsolutely loved my barn when I was a little girl. It was hard to put together and that meant to me that it wasn't going to fall apart. I loved the fact that it comes with two Stablemates! I hope that someone will have a lot of fun with beautiful collectors item/toy! ... Read more

Buyer beware !
My 4 year old daughter just had to have the new baby born who could go swimming with her just like the commercials. Along with her new baby I bought this set to take with her doll swimming. The swimsuit is cute the hat is a little small (you really have to shove it on her and the fins are great.First I couldn't figure out why the snorkle would't fit in her mouth and it was because the google set up was backwards. The little nose cut out was on the top . That was an easy fix by just removing the frog eyes and putting them on the right way and turning around the snorkle.Still a problem. But the major flaw with this mask is that it will not stay on. They made the little knobbies that hold googles on too small and they slip right through The mask falls right off her which has made my daughter feel that she can't take care of her baby right and Asks why can't she do it.This is not what I intended for my daughter I expected joy. I had to sew my google straps as a quick fix but I know it won't last. Buyer beware ! ... Read more

These not-so-distant cousins to the Bratz dolls, which are a phenomenal success among the pre-teen set, are aimed at girls a few years younger who possess a funky sense of fashion. Selected as one of Dr. Toy's Ten Best Toys for 2004, the 4-Ever Best Friends dolls are destined to be just as much of a hit. This collection includes Brianee, who is chillin' out in fashionable low-rider camouflage cargo pants, a cropped T-shirt with a "No Boys" logo on the front, and a fur-trimmed leather vest. Her best friend, Dianthe, is also decked out in the hot fashions of the season, sporting a denim mini skirt, knee-high stockings, and a fur-trimmed cargo coat with a lace cami peeking out from underneath. The dolls hold hands in friendship and come with fun accessories, such as a boombox, polka-dotted cups, and slices of pizza. These dolls also come with two charm bracelets that girls can share with their real best friends to show that they're true buddies. The dolls and accessories are packaged in a heavy plastic case that converts to a backpack for easy carrying. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Care Center Review
I'm a big Fisher Price/ Mattel fan, but was disappointed with this product. It's very flimsy and comes apart way too easily. The mobile is always falling apart. It's highchair/potty has a very small seat and you need really tiny dollys to put in it. On a positive note - both my four and two year old love the accessories - shampoo bottle, powder and eating items and use them with all their dolls. I'm hoping Mattel will put a sturdier, larger care center on the market soon.

A GREAT TOY!!!
My daughter got the pink & lavendar outfit Little Mommy dolls for Christmas & all of the Little Mommy accessories for her 3rd birthday. I was a little concerned about their durability due to some of the other reviews, but it's what she wanted so we got them. Now I am so glad we did!! Although they don't seem to be quite the quality we're used to seeing from Fisher Price, they are very sturdy & durable. You just have to make sure all the pieces snap into place while you're assembling it. My daughter has been playing with her little Mommy collection NON-STOP & we've not lost one piece or seen it wobble. This set is wonderful & my daughter has not tired of it at all!! It is great for building imagination & has turned my daughter into a great Little Mommy!!!

My 18-month old loves this set!
Cons: The changing/sleeping piece that sits on top doesn't stay put, but then again it is for 2 year olds, not 5 year olds who know how to pop on/off lids.

Pros: My daughter absolutely loves this! Her "Little Mommy" doll that this toy is specifically made for, fits perfectly into the bath area and can be easily put into and taken out of the highchair/potty seat when it's attached to the table.

In regards to some of the comments of the legs falling off... I would advise them to take it back or apply more pressure to the leg to make sure it is installed properly. I have not had any problems with mine at all. This toy gets dragged daily around the house and the legs of potty chair and of the base have never come off. However, when I put it together I did have to add quite a bit of pressure to them until I heard a pop - then they were on securely.

My Little Mommy
My daughter is almost 2 and she has loved this playset, it's been real fun watching her become a little mommy. I had looked at several others but they always seemed so big, my daughter is fearless and loves to climb on things, so I was worried with the larger sets that she might consider climbing into them. This one is just right. She loves to wash the baby in the bath and loves to read to her baby while it goes potty. This playset has really given her much more to do with her baby dolls. Its also a great size for our small house. The only thing we didn't like was that the legs came out easily but we bought some glue for plastics at the hardware store and those legs aren't going anywhere. The mobile also pops off pretty easily but I think that's because my daughter yanks it off so her baby can get a closer look and hold the toys. Fantastic toy for todlers!

Not what I expected
This toy looked like heavy plastic on the commercials. I was amazed at how flimsy the toy is when I took it out of the box. This was the one toy my 17 month old wanted for Christmas so I wasn't about to take it back. The legs are constantly falling off the potty chair. When used as a high chair it is very difficult to get the baby doll in and out. The pink thing that is used for a changing table will not stay in place. It is always sliding around and the mobile comes off very easily. The sound effects are great though. My daughter loves that part. And it is really cool how it looks like there is something coming out of the powder and lotion bottles. ... Read more

Is there no end to what these Disney Princesses can do? Now they're ice queens--in only the most flattering manner of speaking, of course. Ariel from The Little Mermaid pirouettes like an Olympic champ in her shimmery purple and aquamarine tulle costume. Just snap the (admittedly unattractive) plastic belt around Ariel's waist, wind her up, and watch her spin! After the show, Ariel can slip into something more fashionable: a turquoise-ruffed lavender suit with matching boots and over-the-shoulder bag. Ariel's moveable joints allow her to explore many different poses and skating moves, although it's a shame the mechanics of those joints are so exposed. Her long gloves don't quite cover her unfinished looking elbows. The good news is Ariel can now strut her regal stuff underwater and in shimmering ice palaces. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more
