The Styling Station
With more than 100 interactive words and phrases, the Let's Get Ready Vanity amuses little ones for hours. Girls can sit at it just like they would at a real vanity. The stool is incredibly sturdy and can hold up to 200 pounds. Featuring bright pink, purple, and yellow colors and storage space for all the accessories, the vanity saves parents from worrying about lost pieces, and the vanity fits nicely into a child's room. The Dora styling head turns all the way around, making it easy to blow dry, straighten, or brush the hair. Thick, dark brown, and the ideal length for braiding or twisting into pony tails, Dora's hair feels smoother and less synthetic than a typical doll's hair. On some popular toys, the hair can be shortened or lengthened so that girls feel like they gave the doll a real cut, but unfortunately that is not so with this styling head.

Dress-Up with Dora
Dora the Explorer is extremely popular and during the testing process, it became easy to see that the Let's Get Ready Vanity will be too. Little girls love to play dress-up and the vanity encourages imagination while keeping them out of their mother's makeup. Besides the aforementioned styling tools, other cool accessories add to the fun. There are thick rubber bands for pigtails, jewelry pieces, cute barrettes, and a flower-shaped perfume bottle. Even though girls could spend all day beautifying themselves and Dora, there are a few drawbacks. Although the doll's hair is exceptional in quality, brushing out the tangles took some muscle and the brush didn't perform as expected. Some parents might find Dora's sing-song voice irritating, but luckily they can just press the on-off switch for quiet play. Perhaps the biggest issue is that Dora is just a styling head, not a real doll that can be picked up and played with. However, with all the phrases and neat trinkets, this small setback doesn't take away from the vanity's entertainment value. Made out of sturdy plastic, the Let's Get Ready Vanity measures 23-1/4 by 14-1/2 by 35 inches (LxWxH). Three AA batteries are included.

This review is from: Fisher-Price Dora's Let's Get Ready Vanity (Toy)
I agree this toy is great from the size, to the accessories, and even Dora's head... My problem is that the hair is a MESS! Am I the only one seeing this? My 5 y/o got this for Xmas and as of now (May) she barely plays with Dora b/c you cannot do anything with her hair. I've read on-line how to fix the hair but it's not working (detangle shampoo, Downy, wig brush only (this is key I think - that's the only kind of brush you are supposed to use with the American Girl dolls)... I'm contacting FP on Monday to see if I can get a new head for her.... Any other suggestions??

My 2 yo daughter received this as a present and just loves it. She sat for a long time doing Dora's hair and her own. Her twin brother likes it almost as much as she does. As we are working on getting them into more independent play, this toy does just the trick.

I got this for my daugher for her 5th birthday and she LOVED playing with it-as did her 2-year-old little sister. The problem is that once the hair gets tangled up, there is really no coming back from that. The hair on it is so "plastic-y" and cheap, that when I try to detangle it, it just stretches and breaks! I tried to order a replacement Dora head from Fisher Price, but they only sell replacement kits for the accessory pack (blow dryer, curling iron, barrettes, etc)-but no head. Alas, it sits in her room and does not get played with at all-will probably give it away to Goodwill or something to make room for something new this year. What a waste of money :/
