Customer Ratings:

This doll doesn't "do" anything but I think that's the best part! It's a basic rubber doll with molded hair. The accessories are fun and encourage role play. No batteries needed. And the doll doesn't cry, sing, dance, walk etc. But it does pee after you give her cup of water. We bought the potty and cloth diaper set in Target for $ and an extra outfit with a cloth diaper (Target brand $). They work perfectly and I don't have to worry about extra paper diapers. This doll can also be put in a tub without fear of being ruined. You can get Target brand bath tub with extra accessories for $ or just let your kid take a bath with the doll. Who needs batteries, disposable diapers and fake food products that will mold inside of the "real" baby alive doll (that grosses me out). I think it is a nice basic toy, good quality and durable. You can use regular bandaids on her too when the stickers are all used up. I'm just SUPER ANNOYED that all dolls now come in blond/blue eyed (and speak in English), brunette with brown eyes (speak in Spanish) and African American (speak in English). Really? Not everyone who's not Hispanic is blond and blue eyed. And what about boy dolls? Seriously, we're having a baby boy soon and I can't find any male dolls in stores. That's unexcusable!!! But that's a different story for a different day.

My daughter asked for this for her birthday because we couldn't afford a "real" Baby Alive doll. This one was much cheaper, so she was fine with getting it instead.

Unfortunately, it's not a real Baby Alive doll, which is why it's so much cheaper.

She was extremely disappointed, and she hardly ever played with it again after the first day. She thought this doll was at least going to DO something, but it doesn't. It has a tube that goes through from its mouth to it's bottom so it can "pee" like the dolls that would do this in the 70s, but other than that, it doesn't really have any features to speak of. It's just an ordinary "Betsy Wetsy" type doll with some accessories.

It's ok as far as an average doll goes, but don't buy it because of the "Baby Alive" name, because it's most definitely NOT a Baby Alive.

We got this doll for under , so the value is great for a doll that has accessories and pees. I DO not buy the disposable diapers or the doll juice. That's something that I find silly, because my daughter gets a kick out of the pee that comes out from just water, and we buy cloth doll diapers on Etsy that can just be thrown into the dryer. I bought my daughter a doctor coat and a doctor kit for Christmas, so this doll goes to the pediatrician a lot! :) If buyer's read the descriptions carefully, they will not be disappointed. This doll only comes with 1 diaper, so plan on cloth or plan on buying the refill kits. The manufacturer planned on BANKING on the parents needing more diapers and more doll juice, but you don't have to feed into it. Get cloth and go with water-pee. The stethoscope does not have a battery in it, nor does the doll, so do not plan to hear a heartbeat. However, if you plan to get a supplemental medical kit at some point, get one with a steth that has a heart beat sound. The other accessories in this kit are fantastic. The medicine in the spoon disappears, the aspirator looks like it's taking away mucus, and the thermometer says this baby has a fever. If you run out of bandaids, just use kid ones. Residue can be rubbed off with a wet cloth. If you use your imagination, this doll is exactly what you need without being suckered into buying the extras.

My 3 year old loves this doll. I bought her a pack of Huggies Preemies size disposables and allow her to use only one a day to make the package last. The Baby Alive brand diapers don't work well and are very overpriced. I realize now this isn't environmentally sound so I will be looking for some Preemie sized cloth diapers for the doll. This doll only comes with one diaper so plan on either getting cloth diapers or buying disposables.

My problem with the mess is not the "pee" in the diaper, it's in the process of "feeding" the doll that soaks it's clothing and anything else around or under it. The water dribbles out the mouth and goes all down around the neck and back. I'm surprised no one else has had this problem. After all it is only water so it does dry, but I would recommend against buying the "juice" packets that Baby Alive sells to feed the dolls because they do stain.

The box clearly says "listen to her heartbeating". There is no heartbeat. Either in the doll or in the plastic stethoscope. This is very misleading.

All that being said my daughter loves this doll and hasn't grown tired of her after about 2 weeks. She doesn't do much except pee, keep that in mind, I think she's alright for the 2-5 year age range.

For the Baby Alive name, this is very disappointing. The outside says you can hear the baby's heartbeat.....well now I know why there was quotes around that! You are to use the stethoscope to pretend to hear it. You have to really squeeze the sippy cup to get the doll to take water. My 6 yr old can't squeeze hard enough to get her to drink. I think my daughter will be using this in the tub. It could have been much more! On the positive side, no batteries.
