Editorial Review

Never before have the worlds of dolls, toy animals, and waterbeds come together as successfully as this. This cute doll has brown eyes, a small tuft of brown hair, and wears a white sleeper suit that features a dancing Snoopy on the front and big black Snoopy ears. To up the ""cute factor"" even further, the doll also holds a small Snoopy rattle. By itself, it would have been a perfectly acceptable toy doll. But things get a little more interesting when you open a valve and fill the baby with warm water, using the included funnel. Is it unconventional to fill a doll with warm water? Sure it is. But young kids are not likely to care about that when snuggling up to a cute and cozy baby doll. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

It sounds a little odd when you describe to someone how the Waterbabies toys work. It turns out most people find it a bit unusual to unscrew the back of a doll, fill it with warm water using an included funnel, seal it up, and then commence to snuggle. But if you can get past that, it''s quite a cozy little toy. This sweet little blue-eyed baby doll wears a baby blue Bedtime Bear outfit and holds a small Bedtime Bear rattle. After the water is filled, the doll operates like a standard heavy-duty water bottle, providing warmth and comfort. We found it easy to fill the doll and had no problems with leakage. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

That is a BIG bear!
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me - 36 inches of Care Bear? That is huge! I have a few on the 26 inch ones & I thought those were big, but these blow mine out of the water.

I recommend these, because they are so cute & cuddly!

I can't believe they are bringing back my favourite childhood toys, it's like like taking a trip back in time. ... Read more

Daughter loved but flimsy!
My daughter absolutely loved this playhut toy but I was not happy with the structural aspect of it. I was glad I got it on clearance at [at a local store] for [$$$] and didn't pay full price. The play mat they talk about in actuality is a sleeping bag - zips up like a sleeping bag, looks like one and feels like one (not stiff like a mat). My 2 year old daughter (almost 3) identified it quickly as a sleeping bag - which in our family is a good thing since she loves sleeping bags. The actual play structure is designed like one of those sunshades for your car. Watch out when you take it out of the bag cause it will "sprong" into action and become the playhut. There is a pole for the top of it but that's about it for rigidity. The back wall easily folds inward and with no effort the whole thing can be pushed down/over. One plus I suppose is that the sides fold in easily so when you are done playing with it, it can be rest up against a wall without taking up much space and without having to fold it up. (I have not tried to fold it up yet). The sleeping bag can open all the way up and half zips up the side and top for the third wall (no extra rigidity from the sleeping bag!) and the other half lays on the floor of the hut. There are also two holes in the back wall for a bean bag toss. My daughter has yet to use the bean bags for that purpose (they have been little pillows for stuffed animals) and the holes she actually managed to crawl through. But she is on the young end of the age range. I think the extra uses (5 in 1) were fluff added to make it sound better. The tent part with "playmat" is the main purpose I'd buy it for. That said I know I would not buy it again if I had to pay full price. For us the [$$$] was well worth it for the sleeping bag alone. I was not impressed with the playhut part though.

Flimsy, but FUN!
My two year old daughter received this tent for Christmas this past year and for the last couple of months, she still plays in it every single day. I do very much agree that it is a flimsy tent. Especially for what it costs, but...my daughter has had hours of enjoyment with this tent and overall, I am glad that she got this. She enjoys the two bean bags that it comes with and loves to try and toss them in the holes in the back. I do usually leave one side of the tent unzipped, because when it is zipped, the weight of the slumber bag sort of makes the side of the tent cave in a little. All in all, I think it is a fun item for a Care Bear fan, but it certainly could have been made a little bit sturdier.

Horrible
My 3 year old daughter got this for her birthday. It is extremely flimsy and falls apart every time she tries to get in it. She wanted to take her nap in it, but everytime she gets in it, it falls in on her. Absolutely NOT worth the money and possibly a danger to children.

My daughter received the care bear 5 in 1 play set for Christmas. My husband and I tried to set up the hut but it was so flimsy that it would not even stand up. Don't even waste your time or money!!! ... Read more

Just like the Care Bear of the same name, baby Friend Bear has a happy-go-lucky, fun-loving demeanor. This sweet little doll combines two popular cuddly toys--Waterbabies and Care Bears--into one. Like other Waterbaby dolls, this one can be filled with warm water so she feels cozy and heavy like a real baby. Her thick rubberized body securely holds the water and a tight rubber plug in Friend Bear’s back prevents leaking so kids can snuggle in close to her. For added coziness, this baby comes in a fleecy yellow bear suit with Friend Bear’s signature flower symbol emblazoned on the front. This Friend Bear Waterbaby comes with her own mini bear-shaped rattle and a plastic funnel for filling her with water. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Great toy for little ones
We gave this adorable toy to our 3yo daughter for her birthday and she loves it. She loves the Care Bears and dolls. I am still shocked that the water has yet to leak all over the house. Seems truly leak proof thus far. Pretty heavy once the water is added.

My daughter loves this doll!
I bought this doll for my five year old daughter's birthday, and she loves it! The doll feels like a real baby with the water in it, and although I was worried about water leaking, it seems really leakproof. The outfit for the baby is cute, and so is the Care Bear rattle. This doll satisified my daughter's love of baby dolls and Care Bears in one gift. ... Read more

Care Bear fans will feel a warm glow in their hearts as they gaze upon fuzzy green Do Your Best Bear in the daylight--and then watch that warm glow come to life in the dark! Ears, nose, tummy, and toes all light up with special glow-in-the-dark fabric, making the cheerful kite design on her tummy radiate wellbeing. What a comfort for those reluctant sleepers! This twelve-inch-tall fun-loving bear needs no batteries; simply expose her to the light for a few moments, then watch her keep glowing even after her little human buddies have fallen asleep. A luminous way to brighten anyone's day…or night. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more
