Amazon.com Hands-On Review

The Baby Alive Learns to Potty doll from Hasbro really eats, drinks, and uses the potty. With its blinking eyes, talking mouth, and ability to "eat" and "digest" its food, this doll provides interactive and imaginative fun for children ages 3 and up.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Innovative, interactive doll talks, really "eats" and uses the potty The Bad: Parents need to be on hand during play to clean up messes In a Nutshell: Baby Alive will ask for food, really eat, and really learn to uses her potty At a Glance Ages: 3 and up Requires: 4 AA batteries (included); Phillips screwdriver to replace batteries

After baby eats, she needs to go potty (Caucasian version shown). View larger.

Doll Really Talks and Eats!
This version of Baby Alive is a toddler, just the right age for potty training. She has cartoonish, oversized eyes and a head of curly hair, and comes dressed in a bib and a removable dress. Press the button on her bracelet to turn her on; she'll "wake up" and say "I Love You Mommy." When she talks, her eyes blink and her mouth moves in sync with her words. When she says "I'm hungry," that's the cue to feed her.

The doll comes with a bowl and two baby food mixes. Mix one baby food packet with water and feed it to her with the included spoon. She'll "chew," ask for more, and say the food is yummy. She needs water, too: she can drink real water from the included baby bottle.

Potty Training Time
After she's done eating, the doll will say she has to go potty. Sit her on the included toilet, and she will really go. But watch out: if you wait too long, the doll will say, "Uh, oh, I had an accident," and she'll go in her diaper -- or all over you, if you're not careful! She comes with an extra diaper and wipes for cleaning and changing.

Baby Alive's most unique feature is that she gets better at using the potty after every feeding session: after the second session, she will ask to use the potty twice before going in her diaper, and after the third feeding, she'll ask to go three times before having an accident, and so on until the fifth feeding. (The doll's potty training feature can be reset, so your child can "teach" her to use the potty over and over again.)

Interactive Role-Playing Fun
While some talking toys simply recite phrases at children, Baby Alive takes it a step further by offering the opportunity for interaction. As well as asking for food and using the potty, she also will ask your child to sing songs, play, or give her a hug -- each of which invites a response. We particularly like that her interactive features allow for role-playing fun, which is a vital part of a young child's development.

However, because of the potential for mess, this is not a toy for independent play, especially for younger children, and especially if you'd like your house to stay tidy. So parents and caregivers need to be on hand -- and they need to be prepared to clean up some messes! The doll also requires cleaning between feedings and potty sessions to keep it working properly.

The doll comes with two food pouches and an extra diaper, but you'll definitely want to stock up on more before your child begins to play because they get used up very quickly! Accessories are available for separate purchase.

Product Description

Playing mommy is even more realistic with this sweet baby doll. Press the doll s bracelet to wake her up. Mix her special food and feed her, using her bowl and spoon she ll chew her food and even drink from her bottle, then tell you how much she likes it! And since she s potty training, she ll also let you know when she needs to go. Better hurry, though! Put her on the potty and she ll "pee" and "poop." But if you don t get there in time, you might hear her say, "Oops, I had an accident!" Once you change baby s messy diaper, she ll be happy once again. Is that a yawn? Sounds like baby is sleepy. Cradle her in your arms or put her down for a nap.

The realistic baby doll encourages valuable, imaginative role-play for young children, while also helping to teach a sense of responsibility and good old-fashioned tender loving care!

Doll comes with potty, dress, two doll diapers, bottle with nipple and cap, bowl, spoon, two packets of doll food, bib and package of wipes. Requires 4 "AA" batteries, included.

Could someone tell me why this doll is 100 dollars more then the white doll? I have a daughter who has brown hair and eyes and is half Hispanic and would love to have a doll with her coloring. Why should everyone have to play with the same white, blond and blue eyed doll? Because they jack up the prices on the Hispanic and African American dolls so the parents cant buy dolls their children can identify with.

This review is from: Baby Alive Hispanic Learns To Potty (Toy)

My granddaughter, who is 2, loves this doll. It is a little difficult to handle for a 2-year-old as it is heavy. It is hard for this small of a child to sit the doll on the toilet and balance it. My 2-year-old granddaughter doesn't seem to mind and keeps on trying to get her the sit and eat and drink. Another granddaughter, who is 9, also loves to play with Baby Alive, although it rapidly becomes boring for her.
