We bought this as part of the Potty Training in a Day push to get our 3 yo back into the potty after a relapse happened after we moved homes. The doll is cute and has the nice Corolle vanilla scent which is a nice change from the usual stinky plastic smell that these water-ok dolls often have. It worked well for the purpose of having my daughter teach the doll how to go potty and going through the process. Fair warning, the doll tended to leak when sat up with the bladder full, but this wasn't too much of a problem for our purposebaby had an accident. Since it is used for "potty training" it would be nice if the doll was slightly more mature looking, since the 8 month old appearance and the bottle and pacifier are relatively age-inappropriate, but my daughter didn't seem to mind. Would be nice if it had even a sippy cup appearance for the bottle and maybe some hair on the head. We did end up losing the bottle, so that made the feed and pee function useless. We could buy another bottle, but I'm just not really that interested in doing so, and the doll has pretty well served it's purpose in the potty training department. My daughter just pretends the pee and poop now with the doll (I had put raisins in the potty initiallymy daughter was shocked that the baby pooped!) Overall a good doll, would definitely recommend for potty training!

I thought this doll would be a hit with my 2.9 year old daughter. She loves dolls and doll play, and is potty training. I thought this one would capture her imagination. It didn't, and she doesn't use it. After the novelty of receiving it wore off (a couple of days), she resumed play with a softer, smaller doll, and has barely picked up this one. I notice she gets frustrated that the doll's arms have limited mobility. She wants the hands to come together to hold the pacifier and bottle, but the arms only go up and down. She also gets frustrated that she cannot pull up the underwear on her own. (The doll is made of a hard and inflexible plastic, and it is difficult even for me to pull up the tight underpants.) As for the fact that it can be given water and put on a potty to pee, she enjoys these features but not enough to spend time struggling to make these features work. In fact, she cannot independently get the doll to pee on demand, as it only works correctly in that manner if you feed it its bottle while it is seated on the potty. Obviously a toddler does not have the coordination to actually bottle feed a hard, non-pliable doll and also hold it upright on a potty, so that the water doesn't leak everywhere. Instead, my daughter uses this doll's binky and potty for comforting and pottying her other dolls. I attribute her lack of interest in this doll to the hardness of its body, the limited mobility of its arms, and the fact that she cannot manipulate this doll independently in the manner the doll is intended to work. Additionally, its baldness is a minus for my daughter, who enjoys touching the hair on the head of her other dolls. She has also expressed confusion about why a "tiny baby" would sit on a potty to pee, like a "big girl". This doll has the features of an eight month old baby, so it is illogical that such an infant-looking doll would be engaged in potty training. I thought my tot would overlook this fact, but she didn't. Overall this doll is WAY overpriced and is much ado about nothing. Thankfully I got it on sale for $37. Still, I view it as a wasted 37 dollars.Best Deals for Corolle Les Classiques Emma Drink-and-Wet Bath Baby Doll
I bought this baby when I was potty training my daughter. It was recommended by the book I was using. Its the only doll that stated "pee's on demand"....well, she pottied right after drinking her bottle, not on demand. In order for this to actually work correctly, she had to drink while sitting on the potty chair. She then continued to leak even after she was emptied. My daughter loves this doll and plays with her all the time, but as an effective potty training tool...it didn't work out so well. Pretending with a doll would have been easier and less expensive.Honest reviews on Corolle Les Classiques Emma Drink-and-Wet Bath Baby Doll
Some people have complained that the doll wets before getting to the potty. That is often true BUT if you only give her about a quarter of the bottle then there isn't' much of a problem. We used this to have a potty party and it really helped jump start the training efforts. My daughter still plays with this daily and although it was pricy, it was well worth the $$Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Corolle Les Classiques Emma Drink-and-Wet Bath Baby Doll
