Doll Reviews

I was so happy to find this in a unisex color since most are pink. My 16 month old son loves to push his real stroller, but is constantly pulling it over on himself, so I bought him this with the hope that he would like it the same, which he does. He plays with this all day pushing various toys around the house and backyard. It's very realistic, folding up just like an actual umbrella stroller and locks into place when open. The "lock" is a bit flimsy, but hey, it's a doll stroller. I truely think this is one of the best things we've purchased for him.

My mother bought this for my daughter when she was going to be looking after her in a large hotel for a week. She thought it might distract the baby (who was 13 months) to have something to push around. This inexpensive little push-toy has exceeded all of our expectations (and fit easily into our luggage on the way home!). Our daughter has now turned two and has played with this stroller almost daily for the last 11 months. She got a bigger, heavier doll stroller at 15 months but didn't play with it as much because the light umbrella stroller is so maneuvreable. She learned to race around the family room, take tight corners, tip the stroller back to get over obstacles, and get her Barney in and out of the straps. Friends of ours bought fancy, heavy "educational" push-toys for their toddlers that went unplayed with but this toy is a favourite of my daughter and of every little visitor, boy or girl. I recommend this 100% to any toddler parent.

My one year old LOVES this stroller. She literally will spend a good part of the day walking up and down the livingroom with her dolly in the stroller. Then she lift out the doll, give her a hug, put her back in and set off again.
I have the umbrella travel system and the carrier is very cute too. Highly recommend this item.

My daughters, age 2 and 3, have both sets of this Lego/Duplo - given to them last Christmas by friends.

The dolls are so cute. They are a large size - about 15cm high so easy to hold and play with. They have molded hair and moveable arms and legs (think other Lego figures - quite stiff-like but you are able to make them sit). Their clothes (underwear is part of the molded plastic body) are easily removed and put on again by toddlers without my help. They can stand alone and their "shoes" will also build onto a Duplo baseplate or blocks (sometimes our dolls become part of a tower creation).

Each doll comes with it's own "baby" but is like a normal small Duplo figure (arms and legs don't move, the clothes are painted on) and depending on which set you get, the babies have a bed, highchair or pram. The baby is perfectly sized for the mother to carry, push the pram or feed the baby in the highchair. All the "babies" and other accesories (cups, saucers, prams, washtubs etc etc) can be gripped in the dolls hands by pushing the Duplo pieces together. This is really easy to do - my toddlers don't need my help.

My girls love the dolls - they love to use them as dolls ... having teaparties and wash days and making dinner and going to bed. Other times they use the dolls, babies and accessories as part of their building structures. There is no end to the possibilities for play.

The set is in the usually bright Lego colours - green, red, yellow, blue etc. As with all Lego products it's extremely durable. We've had our sets over a year now and there is no way that the doll can be broken ... arms, legs or heads cannot come off no matter how hard you try. Everything can be cleaned when the need arises with warm soapy water.

Lego/Duplo is one of the few toys that I kept from my childhood and I had Lego passed down to me from older relatives. Some of the Lego in our house is almost 40 years old. It may be more expensive than other building blocks but it's a toy you'll be keeping for your grandchildren.

Highly recommended.

This was a gift to my grandaughter. Her older brother has Legos that he has gotten as gifts as well as a huge collection handed down to him from his Dad and Uncles. It is so fun for Hannah to finally have her own Legos to play with. It was one of the best gifts she received. I was impressed with the creative possibilities and durability of the set. I hope to build on the set so someday she can pass them on to her little girl. Legos are definitely a family tradition.

my daughters love it they are 2 and 3 years old, they enjoy pretending too wash the dolls clothes and bathing the baby.

My daughter got this pony for her birthday and she loves it ! It is very cute , eats, hiccups , etc. The only negative thing I would say about the product is that the Velcro that holds the "carrier" behind the neck is too small and it will not stay on. She has to hold it up or carry it around. It really needs a bigger piece of Velcro to support the weight of the pony !!

My daughter got this for her 4th birthday and it is her favorite present. The only trouble we have is the carrier won't stay on, unless she holds the pony with her arms too. That doesn't bother her, though and she loves to brush her hair and feed her the bottle and listen to her cute giggle. What a great toy! My little girl doesn't like baby dolls yet, but loves to baby her stuffed animals and this is perfect for her. Defenitely a good choice for a (...) gift.

I wasn't expecting to like this toy when I read about it, but it is ADORABLE! My daughter (almost 6) has never been into baby dolls, but she loves ponies. This is a fantastic combination of the two--a baby-doll AND a pony to love. She has taken her everywhere since she got her--everywhere. She tucks her in each night, and buckles her into a seat belt in the car.
*The baby pony sucks her bottle (or your finger), makes cute little coos, burps, sighs, etc.
*The volume is just right, unlike many toys
*She turns herself on and off with activity or lack of--she goes dormant after a short while of inactivity, but re-awakens as soon as she is "loved" again.
**comes with batteries already installed and only has 3 twist ties to get her out of the box! NO CHAIN SAW REQUIRED!!!
Take her out of the box, and she's ready to play!
Definitely worth every penny!

My daughter loves going to the fair so I thought this would be a good gift and it was -- she LOVES it. We have a few of the sweet streets and they are great because they are a lot of fun for pretend play but they don't take up space. This by far is my four year olds favorite sweet street. My two year old also enjoys playing with it as well. And, they don't cost too much! I highly recommend.

My daughter has the whole collection and loves them more than any toy she owns. They are extremely durable and easy to put away. She spends hours creating her own town, playing with the little people and rearranging all the furniture. Her dad even enjoys this game! One of the best things about this series is that you can buy one or two (or collect the entire town) and it is still just as much fun. Every house comes with everything you need (nothing else to buy) and is an extremely good value for your money. Can't wait for them to make more!

Our 7 year old daughter has nearly the entire collection of Sweet Streets. These high quality playsets are amazingly detailed and inspire hours of imaginative play. This particular playset "The Country Fair" is one of her favorites of the collection. We give it 5 stars across the board.

I bought the whole set,my two year old toddlers love it. I work with them at a daycare and it keeps them busy. I hope to get the schoolhouse and post office next.

I got this for my daughter for her Birthday, she just turned 3. I also baught the carriage too, My best friend got her the sweetshop/styling salon to go with the ones I got her. She LOVES them all! My seven year old daughter and all her friends love these toys too! I love the fact there small and don't take up lots of space, They are such cute toys! I like playing with them too! My husband even admitted they were pretty cool : )
I just purchased the rest of the set, every single thing avaliable! You can even order a playmat for the town to set up on, The only thing is there is no place for the school on the playmat, It must be a new item? Anyway these toys are great! I Highly reccomend these!

You may be familiar with the Country House or the Beach house - this pet shop and beauty salon is another in the set.

The great thing about these little houses/shops is that they are small and portable - all the loose accessories fit inside and can be carried to Grandmas, your favourite restaurant or the doctors waiting room. There is enough loose accessories to have fun with but not so many that you can't keep track of them when packing up. The figures are small but not too small so that Mum and Dad can comfortably play along as well.

My daughter (2.5 years) has the country house and the beach house and she loves taking the "family" from those houses to visit the petshop and see the dogs. And she loves taking everyone down to the beauty salon for a haircut.

A fantastisc little doll house for portable play and a great little town to collect and role play with.

this is great if your daughter loves dolls and pretending she is a mommy, i also recommend the single carriage too. it can teach them how to be a mom sometimes, because they have other products too.

Like other Tolly Tots products this came with no instructions and missing or broken pieces. I was dissapointed in its quality especially the construction of the wheel mechanisms. The company is difficult to get in touch with so best bet is return it to the store you bought it at if any pieces are missing or broken.

My daughter got this stroller for her 3rd birthday and she loves it! Her twin brother loves it too and wants one just like it. It is one of their all-time favorite toys. It looks just like the Graco stroller I used when they were babies and is very easy for them to push, both indoors and out. The one problem is that the seats seem to be just slipcovered cardboard- fine for dolls, but not really sturdy. This toy is a definite winner for twins or any child with "multiple babies".

I got this doll this summer, and I love her! She has dark skin, dark brown eyes, and a sweet expression. Baby chou chou came in a pink one- piece outfit, decorated with bears,a matching hat, and a pair of pajamas. She also came with a pacifire and teddy bear. This doll had a cuddly body, and is really great for playing mommy with. Overall, this is a really great doll that everyone of all ages will enjoy!

We gave our daughter this doll when she turned one (minus the tiny parts, which she now enjoys playing with at age 2). At just under 14 inches, the Little Chou-Chou is the perfect size for a very small girl (even though the recommended age is 4, which I don't get).

This doll has a beautiful, realistic face with very pretty eyes compared to many dolls out there. The soft body makes her easy to cuddle, though tricky to keep clean. The mouth is permanently open slightly, which is perfect for "feeding" her magic bottles, pretend food from a baby spoon, or her own special binky, which will stay in nice and tight.

The only thing I wish were different about the Little Chou Chou doll is the eyes. I always loved when dolls magically close their eyes when you lay them down, but this doll's eyes always stay open. It's not awful, and my daughter doesn't mind, but an older child might. Beyond that, this is an absolutely perfect first doll for a girl who is ready to play pretend mommy!

I bought this baby for my 21 month old daughter. From this first time she saw the baby in the toy store she said "awww look at the baby". I knew I had to get for her. She loves it, and I plan to buy another for her birthday

We had came back from toysrus. Dropped off the stuff inside our home and relaxed for about 20 minutes. Within that time, I got this set out since I was interested in it also, lol, and she was just too into it! She threw a fit when we had to pull her away from it because we had to leave again...! Which was fine in a way since we knew SHE really made a good choice on which set to buy. And she's only 2 and some months.

This is a very cute toy. My daughter received a giant dollhouse for her second birthday in December 2003 made by her grandpa, and then many Loving Family accessories to go in it. She loves all of it. Even after Christmas came and went (I realize it's only January but at two years old, toys often hold her interest for a very short time), the dollhouse and accessories are the hands-down favorite. I love all the Loving Family items. They are darling, and realistic down to the tiniest details. She loves the happy birthday song it plays, as well as the pizza party song. Her grandma has an older version at her house, which played three songs and seemed a bit simpler to use (no legs to fold down, just a button to push to change the table's theme music), but this one is still pretty neat. I worried my daughter would be a bit young for these items but she absolutely loves them! Nothing has broken so far but I gave it four stars because I am assuming it's somewhat delicate just because it is so small and has some small accessories.

My daughter just got this, along with the dollhouse and other accessories, for Christmas. She will be 3 in a week and a half. I think it's a wonderful addition to the house. She has lots of fun playing with it. She always wants it on the birthday party side, but I'm sure as she gets older she'll want to change it sometimes. The balloons sing Happy Birthday when you set them on an interactive spot in the house, and you can press the candle on the cake and the candle on the pizza side to get more music. I wish the booster attached better to a chair because it always falls off, but that's not a huge deal. This is a must have addition to your loving family dollhouse!

Of all of the Raggedy Ann dolls currently available, this relatively inexpensive version is the doll closest to the classic Johnny Gruelle look. With real yarn hair and solidly stitched-on clothing, she is safe for even the youngest Raggedy fan; her eyes are screenprinted with no real buttons to come loose. Light weight & durable, she is no collectible... but she sure can withstand repeated laundry washings, looking cheerful as ever!

Hello World!
I'm holding my Raggedy Ann doll while I write this. Here's my story!

I got my Ragedy Ann doll when I was about 10. I had some money on me & got her in a local drug store. I am a big fan of hers & watched her on tv & read her books, but never had a doll. So I was excited when I finally got 1.

I always known how she came about & one of the old tales said that the original dolls had candy hearts sewn in. Well, when I got mine, I hugged & squeezed, poke & patted, but never found 1. I was kinda disappointed, but loved her anyway.

Well,I'm 17 now & just today, when was taking off Ann's clothes to wash them, I found something new.

On her chest, right over her heart, there's a red painted heart thst says "I Love You" in it! <3

this raggedy ann is great! every child should have one. she has a nice classic look, and is very durable.

It's easy to put together. The stuff is cute. The lights are really bright, but how can you fit it into a suitcase? Where is the magnet on the barking thing?

It's a great toy that any mom should buy for their kid.

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but these Snubbies don't actually "physically" grow. Er.. they are plastic dogs in a house that makes the noises, not the dogs! Sure, my kids love them, but they don't grow! And, um.. little mini pooches with personalites? Whatever! Okay! Fine..
