2.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty but poorly thought through construction, April 9, 2005
= Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Deluxe Giftset: Horse & Carriage and Double Wedding & Vanity Playset (Toy)
my daughter received both of these items for a gift. the horses will NOT stay connected to the carriage at all and she is 6 and gets very frustrated playing w/ it. the carriage moves fine on its own, just can't use any horses. same with the saddles coming off and going on. as far as the vanity, very tippy on carpet as i was putting it together. i wouldn't let a child snap the pieces of the long white rods-wouldn't trust not to break. not impressed. only had out of box for a day, will see how long both of them last. we however got them as seperate buys. not as joint deals!

My 5 year old daughter was very excited to receive the horse and carriage from Santa. Excitement quickly turned to frustration. The horses come apart from the carriage after being moved a couple of inches, even if moved very slowly. The carriage now sits on her dresser with her favorite dolls. It's a pretty carriage, just don't expect to get any play time out of it.

My daughter who is 6 wanted this for her birthday. We got it home and put it together. She went to play with it and the horses fell off of the carriage. She tried putting them back on and couldn't. I put them back on and she went to play with it and they fell off again. She was very frustrated. Now she just plays with the horses and the Barbie dolls we purchased to go with it. She does not play with the carriage at all.
Her 16 month old and 4 year old sister play with the carriage they put their little people and weeble wobbles in it and push it around. Not worth the price we paid at all. Very disapointed in Mattel. I should have talked her into getting the Barbie Learning Notebook which is what she originally said she wanted until she saw this in the store.
I do not recommend this toy at all unless you want frustrated children or if you want to constantly put the horses back on all the time.
