Good Points

My daughter enjoys the babbling noises and turning head , nice size doll, soft body makes it good to cuddle.


Bad Points

On second doll after first wouldnt respond after about an hour of play, and head function never worked. Sucks the juice out of batteries like nobodys business, only high speck and therefore expensive types will make all functions work . Took forever for the baby to drink a bottle of water to enable it to "cry" .kept falling asleep after about one sip. Doll was full of water after a week of filling her up, finally cried on being woken from sleep, made a couple of wahs then drips of water came out of only one eye - very dissapointing. Most ridiculous of all is the constant need to switch on and off ,the doll when it decides to shut itself down which is very regularly. Even this dosen't always work , (and here's the good bit )- the manufacturer states you should remove the battery and then put it back to get the doll to "wake " up again. This involves a screwdriver! The poor connection with the design of this doll ment we were unscrewing the back at leat 3 times within a couple of hours which became very irritating to me and my daughter, who in the end had to resort to not feeding the doll or putting the dummy in as this would make her shut down.


General Comments

Could go on and on about how bad this doll is. Spoken to manufacturers about faults , been offered yet another doll , but frankly wont bother with another one. Will have to learn from this one , never bought this make of doll before, always regarded them as expensive, now they are a waste of money as well. Manufacturers trying to be clever in their design , but failling miserably with the practical aspects and delivering poorly to the expectaions of the young children they are trying to appeal to. It would be nice just once to buy something which actually delivers what is described on the box! L.M
