Young caregivers can rock their babes to sleep in this miniature cradle. Mounted to a sturdy, wooden base, the woven rattan- like sides are actually constructed of heavy-duty paper and cord. Measuring 15 inches long and 10 inches wide, the cradle doesn't take up much floor space, and it can accommodate a variety of dolls or stuffed friends. Whenever freshly washed sheets are needed, remove the pink and white gingham bedding and pop it into the washer and dryer. --Lauren Bernard.

This review is from: Badger Basket: Wicker-Look Doll Cradle with Hood and Gingham Liner (Toy)

i purchased this cradle and returned it a few days after. the box said "wicker" and the "wicker" was made of paper. the bottom of the cradle is cardboard. i thought about spraypainting it with an enamal paint for durability (because it is so cute) but decided to keep looking for a pretty, heirloom quality, toddler proof doll bed. such a shame, because this cradle is very pretty to look at, but kids under five can be so rough with toys without trying to be.

This review is from: Badger Basket: Wicker-Look Doll Cradle with Hood and Gingham Liner (Toy)

This is a very functional toy for a child to have in their collection. Though it does not provide hours of entertainment, this toy has become a part of my daughter's daily ritual. She gets her doll in the morning, puts it down for nap, etc. I am overjoyed to see my daughter play with a toy that does not need batteries, only imagination.

I was happy to see that the cradle came with a liner- so many of the more expensive cradles have accessories that must be purchased separately.

It is the not the sturdiest toy, as it is maily cardboard, but if you child is not too rough, it should be OK.

This review is from: Badger Basket: Wicker-Look Doll Cradle with Hood and Gingham Liner (Toy)

This is a good cradle for toddlers to use for their babies. It is a little flimsy, I completey agree, but my daughter has been using it since she was 15 months old (she's now 23 months old) and we haven't had a problem with it breaking. She's not a rough kid, though.

My complaints: the flimsiness of the cradle and the inside liner/sheet does not stay put, which is a problem when your little one keeps bringing it to you to reattach every couple of minutes. I finally had to use the glue gun to glue the sheet to the cradle so that the liner would stop coming out. This will be a problem if the sheet ever gets dirty and I have to wash it but that most likely won't happen unless something gets spilled in it. It's very cute, though, and my little one loves putting her dollies to bed.
