This doll is small as is stated in the product description. My daughter was 1 1/2 when I bought it and this was a good size for her at that age. If she was older I would have purchased a larger sized doll.
The face and body is very realistic and appears to be made of a more ridgid vinyl. I believe it is due to the more ridgid material that this doll is not played with more compared to the other dolls I purchased for my daughter.
She plays with her other dolls I bought on amazon way more than this one.
The other dolls I purchased are: JC Toys La Baby Colors May Vary (Blue, Pink, Purple)JC Toys La BabyHispanic (Colors May Vary)
Both of these have the realistic faces/hands but a soft body so they are not anatomiclly correct, or anything for that matter. I also purchased a childsized ergo carrier so when I am carrying around my newborn, our daughter carrys around her baby too. Ergo Baby Doll Carrier Galaxy Grey
Overall if having the "parts" correct is the most important for you, and your child is smaller, then this would be a great doll. If you are looking more for a doll your child will play with perhaps more so, but not really looking for the anatomy to be correct, then look at the other ones I listed above. All of them have very real looking faces and are on the smaller size.

I have been searching for a doll for my son for a long time now. We have North American Bear Company Rosy Cheeks Baby Blonde Boy which he kinda likes (and is a nice doll), but prefers 'real' looking dolls.I love this doll for a few reasons.
First, it is a BOY! I am sad that JC Toys doesn't make a JC Toys La Baby Colors May Vary (Blue, Pink, Purple) boy version (they no longer make the blue I called) or the JC Toys Lots to Cuddle Twins (Expressions May Vary) with a boy color. I called and they said they have at times carried 'boy' dolls, but their biggest seller is pink. I would just like for my son to have the option.
Second, the quality is undeniable. The details are beautiful, the eyes are striking and best of all not made in china (the vinyl is made in Spain) This doll also appears to be very durable (which after already being through a sandbox is important in out house.)
Third, is the size. Yes, some people would say this is a down fall, but personally I love that my two year old and one year old can easily carry, cuddle, drag and sometimes even undress this doll. Larger dolls are more difficult for little people to play with. Think of it this way my one year old is only 29" tall, if I got him a 16" doll that would be comparable to a woman who was 5"5" carrying a baby that was 3 ft tall (basically a 2 1/2 year old) Do able, but not the easiest (or most fun) thing in the world. 9.5" to his 29" is like a one month old to a 5'5" person. Totally comfortable. For a larger child I would get a larger doll (just take their height and multiple it by .35 for a good ratio)
Fourth, My sons love it. They both call it 'baby' and are sweet with it. I will say for those expecting differently, their play is not like my nieces. They like the baby, but will cuddle and care for the baby one second, then dump sand or leave the baby some odd place the next (just lacking that maternal instinct lol)
There was no smell to our doll so that wasn't an issue. I do however wish we could pick expressions because I would consider getting a second if I knew it would be different (which if you buy directly from JC toys you can but Amazon is cheaper). Overall, I think this is a great doll and I will buy again for friends and family.

These dolls are unbelievably adorable. It ended up being smaller than I anticipated (they are about as long as a normal TV remote, head to toe), but that was probably an error on my part when reading the description. Even though they were too small to be used for what I had intended as a teaching tool, I still kept them and adore them. They are anatomically correct, and as a healthcare professional, I was impressed by how realistic they appear. They would be absolutely PERFECT for a small child, particularly as a doll to get them ready for a new baby. They're just the right size, and the correct anatomy would be particularly useful for explaining a girl baby to a boy child or vise versus.Honest reviews on JC Toys Mini La Newborn Real Boy Caucasian - Assorted Faces
My 25 month old son loves babies...and has so for many months. I, however, could never find a lifelike doll that wasn't dressed in pink....I was just so thrilled to find a BOY BABY!!!! Boys play with dolls, too! (I think it really develops skills and emotions like caring, empathy, responsibility, etc)This doll arrived promptly and nicely packaged.
The doll arrives in a nice box...and is adorable! We received the one with his mouth open the widest. My son was thrilled! The baby is small but perfect for toddlers. His outfit is very cute & nice quality...and the doll appears very well made (we've had it less than 24 hours now...so we'll have to wait to see how it holds up). The clothes can be removed and were surprised to find a cute little realistic baby down to have his MALE "parts" intact!!!!! Not a big deal since this is for my son.....but I wouldn't have been happy if I was giving this to a girl.... I know toddler's don't really care....but I don't know.....it just wouldn't want to be something I, personally, would want to explain too much at this point.
Another reviewer mentioned an odor...and our doll has absolutely no odor.

I ordered this thinking it was a regular size doll. I guess I looked over the "mini" part. It's about half the size of a regular baby doll. It is pretty life like looking and good quality.
