This is a terrific toy! We got it for our 1-year-old, and we were very happy to find a cool doll that wasn't pink and that was rated safe for a 12-month-old to give to our little boy. I will definitely be using this as a gift for birthday parties and the like for other boys in the 1-2.5 age range.

In terms of a choking hazard, the toy manufacturer rates this for 12-months or older. I think that is just something that Amazon puts up to satisfy our liability-crazed social standards. There is NOTHING I can see on this that looks to be a choking hazard, save for a snap or a 1" button on the pants (also a snap on the hat), but these are sewn on very well, and I am not sure a 1" button could cause choking on a 1-year plus child (though I'm sure there's some case in which it somehow did, hence the liability warning). Ironically, by age 3, this toy would not be interesting/useful for most kids, who would have-- by then-- learned to dress themselves!

Finally, in terms of the lace being sewed on, this is just like the hat. With a pair of scissors, both the shoe lace and that hat are removed (as is intended) so that the child can play with the full set of clothes. These are likely sewn on only to ensure the pieces stay intact amid curious explorers at the toy store.

I was disappointed with this toy. There were a lot of velcro items, which are pretty common and already easy for toddlers to learn. I was disappointed that the Tie shoe did not untie all the way - it is sewn already crossed, so teaching a child to tie the shoe is not realistic. Also, there is no buckle. The watch is velcro. On the plus - the zipper and the button are nice to have. My daughter hasn't shown much interest in this toy.

I got this doll for my 2 yr old grandson. I thought he needed a boy doll and this one seemed to fit. He loves his Jake and plays with him all the time. He likes zipping and snapping him up. He is learning to dress himself and Jake is teaching him to do buttons and such. Great toy.

Great toy for learning how to button, zip, snap ... and all of the things that can be difficult when using specific fine motor skiils. We bought one for our son and now are giving another to a nephew for his birthday.

Clothes and accessories are removable, which is a huge help in teaching kids to dress. Overall, very good product!

I am a grandmother and my two children grew up with Dressy Bessie and Dapper Dan. It is amazing how the little ones pick up the abilities from these dolls!

Jake is very cute and a little different from the other two, so this one will go to my grandson.

When he arrived he was just as the ad stated, and as for me I would highly recommend this toy to anyone......5 stars!!!!

My son loves the toy. It is fun and it is interacting. I would def recommend this toy to any child.

My son liked my nieces doll, although he's all boy, its nice to see he has a sensitive side! I bought this thinking not only could he play with it and treat it like a baby but he could dress and learn about zippers, buttons and ties too! My son is constantly taking Jake's clothes off and trying to find new clothes but nothing fits. I wish there was a second outfit. But he did learn zipping from Jakes jacket and snaps from his one shoe!! My real only complaint is that Jake's hat just doesn't fit right and theres nothing really to secure it to his head. The skate board is secured by velcro but nothing for the hat. Its constantly falls off which frustrates my son so we just put the hate away. All and all i really am pleased with this toy. It was great for night time so that my son could see Jake go to bed like a big boy! Def worth the money and wait for it to go on sale, I ended up getting it for half the price a month before christmas!

I bought this for my son more as a learning toy than anything else. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem very interested in it. From time to time he carries it around and plays like its his baby (we have a new baby and he likes to imitate us taking care of him) but that's about it. Guess it defers from child to child and the age level.

Loved this so adorable and so did my 18 month old grandson. First saw this in a toy magazine for ten dollars more plus shipping. Amazon had it plus I got free shipping.
