Are you trying to decide between a Corolle Tidoo or Calin for your toddler? My daughter has both, and the Calin is much better. To be honest, she chose this Tidoo online because she liked the outfit the doll is in, with the bright colors and the cute ducky. I thought she would like to be able to take the doll in the bathtub with her too. But since bathtime only takes place for a few minutes each day, most of her doll play takes place outside of the tub, in her doll stroller. highchair, etc. The tidoo is severely understuffed, and is almost impossible to sit up without doubling over (the pictures online of the Tidoos must have some hidden proping mechanism to make it look as if it can sit up). My two year old daughter got frustrated with it trying to make it sit in the doll highchair and could not do so without me doing what I could to prop it up. I can only guess that the lack of pellets helps the Tidoo to dry out after getting wet, but for play purposes, it's rather pathetic to see a baby doll that doesn't look very lively to say the least! In contrast, the Corolle Calin doll is the same length, perfect for the youngest toddlers to carry. With the weight of the pellets, it actually feels like a real baby (not too heavy though, don't worry!) No problems getting Calin to sit up for playtime. Corolle is a really great company that for the most part makes high quality dolls for children, but the Tidoo was a big disappointment.

I bought this for my three-year-old daughter, as she was wanting to take dolls into the bathtub. She's really cute, and it's true that the soft body dries quickly, but I get a little frustrated with other parts of the doll! The head fills up with water, and it's kind of difficult to drain out. Even after the poor thing's been hanging in the bathroom for a couple of days, I'll pick it up and water starts leaking out of the eyes. I can't tell for sure if the arms and legs get water in them.

I'll be pretty irked if this $30 doll that's meant to get in the tub gets mold on it! And water coming out of the eyes... Well really it creeps me out.

My 18 month old got this doll for Christmas and loves it. It's the perfect size for a young toddler. She carries it with ease and loves to point out it's eyes that close. She got 3 dolls for Christmas and this is definitely the easiest to carry around due to it's small size.

When I opened the box my first reaction was that the doll was tiny but in reality it's perfect for a 18 mo old/2 year old.

I am impressed by the quality construction of the product. I'm sure we will be buying more Corolle dolls as she gets older.

I bought the original corolle bathing doll when my daughter was an infant. She was an enormous hint. Baby went everywhere including the bathtub which was wonderful. Baby was accidently lost and I bought my daughter Tidoo Bright as a replacement for my daughter's 5th birthday and she has also become a big part of the family. The small size make her very loveable and portable. I am sure we will get many more years of enjoyment with her. We just add accesories and she becomes new all over again.

This is a very cute little doll. My 1 1/2 year old got for Christmas and just loves her. She is just the right size to pack around and very light weight. Her baby goes every where with us.

not what i was expecting it seems there isnt enough plastic pellets to fill out the doll, so it doesnt sit up very well, but it is the perfect size and my daughter loves to bath with it, so it does serve it's purpose.

We are huge fans of Corolle dolls. My daughter has the Calin, Bebe Charmeur, Baby Lila, and Baby Chouquette and I would rate all of these dolls 5 out of 5 stars. We have loved Corolle dolls so much, we have even bought them for my 2 nieces who also adore them. Even though Corolle dolls are expensive, they have all been well worth the price because they are outstanding quality and have been loved above all other baby dolls by the little girls in our family aged 18 months to 5 years). So I honestly hate to say, do not buy the Tidoo doll by Corolle. We bought this doll for my daughter when she was 2 because she loved her Calin doll so much and always wanted to take her in the bath. At first we were happy with Tidoo (even though her body was made out of icky plasticy material in order to make her water proof), but then the transformation happened. After about 3 months, the white part of Tidoo's eyes rusted, making her look demonic. My daughter was actually scared of her and refused to play with her. Since I had long since threw away the packaging material, I couldn't send her back to Amazon. But I was distraught because this doll was over $50 so I contacted Corolle who replaced the doll for free (well, I did pay to ship the original doll back to Corolle). Sadly, the exact same thing happened to the replacement Tidoo...after about 3 months, her eyes also rusted. At that point I contacted Corolle and asked to exchange the Tidoo doll for a Calin doll (which I ended up giving to a friend having a baby girl as her baby shower gift). Kudos to Corolle, as a company, for granting me this exchange, but they need to go back to the drawing board with this particular doll. Perhaps they should make a bath doll with eyes that do not open and close since this seems to be the issue as water gets trapped in the doll's eyes, causing them to rust. If you want a bath doll, buy the bath doll by Little Mommy (also available on Amazon)which is under $20, is super cute and while she has a hard plastic body, is perfect for play in the bath tub or swimming pool. My daughter has had the Little Mommy bath doll for 3 years and she is still in excellent condition.Little Mommy Scrub-A-Dub-Dub Doll

I bought this for my then 14 month old. We've had it for 2 years now and both of my daughters still play with it! They can play with it in the bath, or just for play. Seems to dry out just fine after they play with it in the tub. Just lay out to dry right away. I think this was a great purchase!

The inside of the doll's head was covered in mold within 3 months. We hung it to dry and drained the head everytime it was in the bath as instructed, but it did not matter. I wrote the company and they did send us a replacement doll (not the exact one we had), but I will not put this one in the bath. My toddler loves this doll, but I would recommend choosing a different one not meant for the bath.

I bought this doll for Christmas for my 2.5 yr. old granddaughter. Now she is 3 and her sister is 1 and out of all the dolls they have, they fight over this doll constantly. So I bought another one just like it for the one year old's birthday. They take their dolls everywhere with them. They love to play with them and take baths with them. They smell so good (like vanilla). The doll has such a cute face and the girls like the way the eyes open and shut and the softness of the body when they hug them. I highly recommend this doll to all little girls.
