Zapf Creation Reviews

My seven year old daughter, Samantha, loves her Baby Cakes 14" Sarah Doll. And who could blame her for loving such a beautiful face? She has beautiful, dark brown eyes, just like my Samantha, and the most darling outfit and sweet little stuffed bunny rabbit for her to play with. There are tons and tons of beautifully designed accecories for your Baby Cakes. For a price like $29.00, you can't go wrong for such a beautiful, high quality baby doll.

I ordered this doll for a 3 year old girl we're
adopting, to be her first baby doll. When I saw
it on line (that's the only place I could find it),
I thought it was cute and happened to be our new
daughter's name, so I bought it. It is one of the
cutest baby dolls I have ever seen! I am completely
satisfied. It's going to be a joy to see this doll
being held by its' new "mommy".

My daughter (who is obsessed with baby dolls) just received this for her 2nd birthday and absolutely adores it! The doll is so realistic and adorable! It is soft and cuddly - the perfect size for her little body to hug and cuddle and her little arms to carry! The little rabbit and kerchief are perfect little touches!

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

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

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.

This bouncy seat is the best!I put my doll in it and have fun!It has a nice soft cushion and handle bars so you can carry your doll around while she's in it!You can also push the bouncy seat back and make it flat so she can sleep!It looks just like a real bouncy seat with duck print all around!It's very realistic,and I really enjoy it.So if you buy it,I know you will have no problem with it!

I love baby born and the bouncy seat is the perfect accessiorie because when its time for a bottle feeding its nice because you don't have to craddle baby born and at the same time squeeze the bottle. Also it can be taken off the frame for a soft craddle and to be removed and HAND WASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!So this is an excellent accesory for your baby born doll!!!!

This seat has added lots of enjoyment to my two girls (ages 3 and 5) use of all of their dolls. I bought it for the chou chou, but find that the Corrolle dolls like it too. It helps them sit up for doctor checkups or when "mommy" has her hands full with more than one doll, and the cloth part detaches and acts like a light weight carrier (perfect for my 3 year old). The only problem is that the buckles are a little tricky for my little one, she can't operate them, but her big sister can so it works.

We bought this doll for our 2 yr. old daughter for Christmas. She is now 2 1/2 and loves baby dolls. Baby Born is one of her favorites, since there are so many great ways to pretend with her. She loves to give the baby a pacifier and pretend to feed it. It is tricky to feed her from the supplied bottle, I must say, as you must push it and hold it in her mouth. That's what I get, though, for buying the doll for a toddler. I help her make the doll use her potty, which my daughter loves. I am hoping this will inspire her to want to potty-train, too!(...)

I purchased Annabelle last year for my 4 year old daughter. She was truly amazed at how life like this beautiful doll was. It teaches her true responsibilty at an early age, with hours of interactive fun. Annabelle has become a very special part of my family. ZAPF CREATIONS should really be commended for such terrific work.
Keep up the good work. This year we are adding Chou Chou to our collection. I can't wait to see what's next.

Love Those Dolls...

Let me tell you.My girl child is 11-years-old and she LOVES the baby born doll.She asks me for $25.00 every weekend.She and her other two friends have the doll too, and i take them to go shop for more diapers,clothes,and accesories. They enjoy sleeping with it, spending time with it, and she takes it everywhere she goes. Im a baby-sitter to her doll,Kayla,when she's at school. I recommend this doll to all girls 6-12 of age. It's educational, so buy it!

I am a thirty-something toy and doll collector, and this adorable baby won my heart the minute I saw her! :) "Be Happy Chou Chou" has a sweet, expressive face...her shining brown eyes and darling smile will melt your heart! :)

The real fun for your little one will begin the moment she squeezes little Be-Happy's tummy...Be-Happy has a realistic and infectious baby laugh that will make your "little mommy" smile! :) Tickle Be-Happy under her arms and she laughs and coos...her little baby sounds are sweet and soft. :)

In my opinion, this precious 14" doll is the cutest baby in the Chou Chou line of dolls!! :) She is cuddly, durable, adorable, and reasonably priced. A charming little baby that will inspire lots of nurturing play, hugs, and happy times for your little one! :)

After looking and reading reviews on some other Chou Chou dolls for my daughter, decided on this one for her. Checked out Baby Annabell and Rock-A-Bye Chou Chou. They did have some more features to them, which thought would be nice. So went to store to see in person. Fell in love with the Be Happy Chou Chou. She was smaller and just a cuter face on her. She laughs, cries, giggles... very cute! My daughter is happy with the sounds the doll makes and doesn't seem to mind that she doesn't do what the other Chou Chous do. This doll is also a nicer size, nice size for my three-year old to carry around. Thought the Rock-A-Bye was a bit too big, as we've had bigger dolls and just seemed awkward for her. But would highly recommend this doll. VERY cute face and her hat is adorable on her! She makes just enough noises and is really a perfect size. Even my 14 month old is enjoying her. Glad we made this purchase, and feel we got a cuter doll for her for a much better price than the Rock-A-Bye or Baby Anabell.

Last Christmas I got a baby CHOU CHOU for my 5 year-old granddaughter, who already owns a plethora of dolls. She plays with each one: Baby Annabell, Baby Expressions, Jolly Dolly, and even a collectible Ellie "Breath of Life" baby, but special attention is reserved to darling baby CHOU CHOU. CHOU CHOU doesn't behave like other dolls. She is more introspective and disinclined to respond well around new faces. She loves her Mommy very much and loves to be cuddled, which her soft, easily cleanable cloth and vinyl body is perfectly suited for. When forced into social situations, however, baby CHOU CHOU can be extremely stubborn: throwing fits, crying, and biting - a particular habit that just can't seem to be weaned out of her.

For any young girl interested in a challenge, baby CHOU CHOU seems to be right on the spot.

I am 10 year old girl with a chou chou. Many kids might think you shouldn't be playng with dolls at my age but, I think it is educational. This Christmas when I'm going to Florida Alexandrea is coming with me. I have her a carrier which is really for baby Borns. I love Zapf Creations products. I also have a Baby Born. All of there dolls are very durable and fun to play with.

My daughter, Aimalie, owns a Little Chou Chou Gift Set doll. The only different from the picture shown above is her pacifier clip. Ours is a satin pink ribbon and this one is sort of a chain. Aimalie carries this doll everywhere! And her clothes wash like magic. They get washed once a week, because you know how kids are with markers and juice, etc. We've lost the pajama hat, but we didn't yet loose her little teddy bear, which I find amazing. Too bad the Chou Chou clothes don't fit on this 14" one, she's too small. I'm planning on getting Aimalie an 18" inch Chou Chou, but none of that interactive mumbo jumbo, I like to encourage imagination.. and my daughter is doing perfectly fine with that!

I just got this baby today i loved it i guess its kinda silly for a 13 year old to play with dolls but i think its fun(dont tell my friends)anyways this doll isnt what i expected i thought it would do more stuff i couldnt chooose between rock a bye chou chou or annabell but when i found out annabells mouth moved i was set i think its fun to act like you have your own baby if you have old brothers or sisters who like to annoy then its not good like me my sister likes to yell and hit it right when it falls asleep but i think this is a great baby, overall.

I got Baby Annabell in the hopes that I would get a very modern doll.When I opened the pakage I wwas somewhat disppionted. Yes she was modern like she giggled and cryed. She really makes realistic mouth movements.BUT sometimes when you try to read a story to her she justs keeps on giggling.I can't really take out of my rooom or my family will go insane. Even when she sucks it's super noisy. I wish you could feed her or have to change her diaper because it's wet.It's perfect for the LITTLE mother HINT BETWEEN 3-7 but, maybe we older mother 7+up need something more than bottle feeding or rattling a rattle . Over all I think she is perfect for younger mothers. Also, I thinnk she is over priced. I do have a recomendation for older mothers though, Baby Born.

This doll is great--she cries and laughs like a real baby. I have a 5 yr old and a 2 year old and they both love to play with her. The crying is a little annoying after awhile, but you can turn her off with a switch on her back. She also comes with a bottle, pacifier, and toy bear. Well worth the money!

My 4 year old loves her Baby Annabell. She takes it with her every where and she loves to put her to sleep so she can tell her older sister to keep quiet because the baby is sleeping.

I LOVE baby Annabell, she is SO cute. The realistic baby sounds are wonderful. She is very sturdy too. My baby sisters are rough with her but she still holds up, she has never been injured or damaged from them, I have had her for 2 years now. This is a very wonderful toy. The Ethnic doll couldn't be found up here in Washington so we had to have her ordered in the mail.

We have 2 of these dolls and they are great! My daughters love them and they think they are awesome.

This kind of looks like some of the Vietnamese babies I've seen, but definitely not Chinese. I am looking for a cute, life-like, but clearly Asian boy doll. Maybe I need to send someone pictures of my children/grandchild/students. Re: Educational. It depends on what you're wanting to teach. It is not educational regarding asian facial features.

He looks a little like some of the Vietnamese babies I've seen, (The mouth, yes; the eyes are too round) but definitely not Chinese. I am looking for a cute, life-like, but clearly Asian boy baby-doll. Maybe I need to send some doll designer pictures of my children/grandchild/students.

I picked the asian baby because I want my children to love all races and to treat them as they deserve to be treated. My two girls have a variety of american and african american dolls, but until now I have not been able to find an asian doll. Thanks for ending my search. I know my daughter is going to love this baby when she opens it on Chritmas morning.

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
