Can anyone recommend the Baby Alive doll? I’ve heard mixed reviews, some say they are great, some say they are a waste of money and too messy…. There are a couple of different versions out there and I was looking at the original $99 one that eats, talks and poos… I wanted to give my 2.5 year old a special doll/baby for when her baby sister arrives in 4 weeks times. Is this the best doll to get or perhaps another one??
Thanking you!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I am so frustrated with dolls! Sorry, no help on the Baby Alive one. I ended up getting one made by K's kids (the model is now discontinued) that is soft and has a removable nappy and an activity blanket. But it seems like there's no choice in types, they are all plastic and Baby Alive does seem to be the most popular type. ------------- 7/2010, 10/2012 and 1/2015 |

Just make sure whatever you get doesn't mind being dunked in bath/toilet/paddling pool - and that anything with 'in' and 'out' holes will have incontinence problems for a while after! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just got a fully plastic one from warehouse, cheap and cheerful and will do the job, its a good size too. She plays with it now, takes off the material nappy and goes 'poooooo' Will pop it away before the baby arrives, so its like a new thing.
Im a cheap skate that doesnt see the point in paying a fortune for something that will get forgotten in 6 months or so  ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/weIHiFu/" rel="nofollow">  |

Baby Alive freaks me out - but that is just me, she reminds me of "Chucky"
I agree with LSL - Warehouse is great for dolls, get a hard body one $20 and maybe a baby bath and some bottles so she can bath/feed at the same time as you - and these ones from the warehouse "almost" fit real new born nappies and clothes (much cheaper that toy nappies and clothes) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I agree with the Warehouse too - for my friends daughters birthday (just before their 2nd bub was due) I got a hard plastic doll from the warehouse and it came with a pack with a couple of bottles, nappies and change of clothes. Her Mum said it was a god sent as she was able to do everything with the doll Mummy did with the new baby without worrying. And her DD loved it :) |

1stBABY4me - not sure if you have bought anything yet, but if you have access to KMart I saw the best set yesterday for $35 - hard body baby with a bath and nappies and bath toys, and they also have "eating" sets with a bottle and bowl and spoon ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Your little girl will love experiencing the fun of real babies when she helps this doll brush her teeth and get all ready for a nighttime snuggle. She can give her baby doll a bottle, change her diaper when she wets, and then get her all dressed in her adorable clothes.
