It is becoming increasingly popular to buy baby dolls that look real and act real, and why not! With all of the new and intricate technology today, it only makes sense that the baby toys, including stuffed animals and dolls, we buy our babies get more sophisticated as well. One of the most well known lines of baby dolls that look real are the My Baby Alive dolls. These dolls have features that allow them to act like real babies, even eating, drinking, talking, and closing their eyes. While these dolls are not necessarily appropriate for infants, they are perfect for toddlers 3 years of age and up. Below is our review of the My Baby Alive doll.
Standard Product Description
Just like a real baby, My Baby Alive eats, drinks her bottle, says more than 30 phrases and makes messy diapers for you to change. Little girls can take care of their baby by fixing her food or bottle, changing her diaper and rocking her to sleep. Her eyes really close. The doll comes with a dress, bib, bowl, spoon, bottle, 2 diapers, 2 doll food packets and instructions. It also includes 2 AA batteries.
Pros:
- Very life like with a lot of interaction for your baby
- Solid construction, durable
- Many toddler girls love all of the features of a real baby
- Fun for girls to get new My Baby Alive clothes and accessories
- Very adorable
Cons:
- The spoons and bottles are easy to lose. If you lose these pieces, you can’t activate 10 of the phrases the baby says. It has been noted that it can take awhile to get replacements from the manufacturer.
- Extra accessories, clothes, and replacements can be expensive
- Cannot wash or get baby wet
- When the doll “goes potty”, it can be messy
Take Away:
The final take away with this toy and all dolls that look real and/or act real is that they are definitely worth the price and mess if you feel that your little girl really likes dolls and knows the functions of real babies. You will go through replacement pieces and accessories fairly fast, and the “potty” mess can be a little bit much, but most girls love all of the reactions they get from My Baby Alive so the extra little hassles are worth it in the end.
