   I bought this doll for my 4 1/2 year old daughter 2 weeks ago. She’d earned a treat, and loves baby dolls, so when I saw this on the store shelves, I grabbed it.

   This doll has a sweet face, with vivid eyes, and doesn’t look contrived or anime-inspired, like a lot of dolls available. It’s blessedly free of sound chips, motion sensors, batteries, and the worry that at some point, you’re going to have to tell your child her beloved doll has suffered severe cardiac arrest from battery corrosion and has to be thrown out.

   Best of all, it’s solidly constructed and due to the water inside, fairly heavy feeling. The interior is composed of a special liner which inhibits or prevents mold growth, and I’m pretty sure it’s pthalate free (wouldn’t have bought it otherwise). The doll also comes with a small story booklet that emphasizes sharing and other people’s feelings.

   It’s my little girl’s favorite doll, and she especially loves that she can take her baby in the shower or pool and not worry. A definite recommendation!

   My little girl got this for Christmas and she loves it. The skin is soft and when filled with warm water, it does feel somewhat like a real baby.

   That having been said, I was a little disappointed. It was alot smaller that I thought it would be and filling it with water was a little messy. I’d recommend taking the doll’s clothes off BEFORE filling with water. That may be a no brainer for you but for me…oops! The baby had to be swaddled in a blanket for a couple hours while her clothes dried.

   My niece had one of these and my sister said hers busted and she had to throw it away. So far we haven’t had that problem. I told my little girl what happened to her cousins doll and I think she’s been extra careful with it. If your child is old enought to understand this (mine is 6 years old) you probaby won’t have a problem either.

   The important thing though is that this is my little girl’s new favorite baby, If you have a little mommy, I’m sure she’ll love this doll too.

   The doll is so sweet, but it has another function, she is warm like a real baby. I bought her for my granddaughter age 5 but I keep her here at our house so she has a real baby to play with when she visits. The only problem with the baby is that her clothes are difficult to remove and put back on. I have to do it for my granddaughter since it takes a bit of dexterity and muscles to do so. Other than that little thing, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this darling baby to anyone.

   I bought this baby several weeks ago for my four year old and was going to put it away for Christmas. She is a beautiful doll. My only complaint is that she was much smaller than I had anticipated. I remembered the water babies being bigger in size and after doing some shopping I found a much larger one at a local store. The larger doll I purchased was not only cheaper than this one but also will be more suiting for my daughter who likes to dress the baby in other baby doll clothes/diapers etc. I have both now, and I am sure she will love both, but my intuitions tell me that this smaller size doll will take second place to the life-like larger water baby.

   Purchased a couple of these and both were fine for about 6-9 months and then they started leaking where the neck and head come together.

   Buy another doll.
