I bought this doll to help potty train my 2.5yr old daughter. She was interested in it for about a day and then over it so I can't say it was very useful as a training tool. Not the dolls fault certainly. The doll is cute and durable enough, but it is rather small and wearing a onesie that has to be completely removed for her to pee. Not the best design for teaching a toddler how to pull down their pants and underwear. A better design would have been a separate top and bottom with undies to demonstrate how to undress for the potty. Also, the doll looks like a baby and not a toddler which was a bit confusing to my daughter. Its hard to get water in the water bottle, not the biggest deal, but a hasaal non-the-less. I think the doll is ok, but worth only about 1/3 the price I paid ($40).

I wish I had listened to the reviews I read, but I wanted a reasonably priced wet and drink doll for my two year old to encourage potty training, so I thought I'd give it a try. Like other reviewers have mentioned. It is nearly impossible to get water in the bottle, and not at all possible for a two year old to squeeze the bottle and fit it in the doll's mouth at the same time. The only way to really get the water in is to lie the baby down and help your little one squeeze, then the water comes out right away, (so place it on the towel), so what's the point of the potty? By the time you get the doll on the potty, the water has already run out, and shouldn't dollies like this come with little diapers? Why doesn't any one make a drink and wet potty doll that looks like a toddler. Now that would make sense!

This is the doll I ordered, but Amazon sent the wrong doll with a different outfit. The doll with the headband, which is what I got, lost the headband right away. The outfit was not helpful to the lesson for which the doll was purchased. I am not sure I would recommend it, but it was a good idea. I needed it for the holidays as a present or I would have returned it with objections

This lovely doll was met with bright eyes and total pleasure by my 2 yo and her 5 yo older sister, especially when they could giggle and play with her bottle and potty and all that can come of such potty play!
