"Rosey" has been part of our lives for almost 3 years now. I gave this baby doll to my granddaughter for her 1st birthday in December 2005, and immediately became 'the' toy. Rosey travels everywhere with her, is her sleep companion and companion in all play. She washes up beautifully- right in the washer (we have a front load, so no agitator - I would put her in a bag if there is an agitator on your machine, but I still think she would fare well - I believe the other household she spends 50% of her time in has an agitator type machine) - and goes in the dryer as well. We got rid of the bracelet early on... the baby wasn't crazy about it... it was 'scratchy', on an otherwise terrifically cuddly doll (an older child may like it, it is a cute accessory - but we haven't missed it any). The stitched details are wonderful, defining fingers, toes, belly button and tush - very cute. The hair ribbon was lost almost immediately, but not missed at all. The hat is attached, and still upon her head, complete with ribbon, which hasn't even frayed a bit in the MANY washings over the years! I have been extremely pleased with the durability of this little doll with all the loving (and occasionally not so loving) constant attention she receives. I would recommend this doll to all Grandma's out there looking for a "snuggly" she hopes will become her granddaughter's favorite! I had found our Rosie in a specialty boutique, and now that I have found her online, I may just have to buy a few to have on hand in my 'gift box' for new babies, special people birthdays etc - she is well worth the price! UPDATE: 1/4/2011 - This doll is STILL a favorite and STILL holding up beautifully!

This is by far the best $25 ever spent. "Santa" gave this dolly to my 4 year old daughter as a replacement for a beloved (but misplaced) Pottery Barn doll that cost twice as much. My daughter has carried this doll with her since she unwrapped it on Xmas. Its been dragged through the mud, sand and god knows what else but it is very easy to wash and dry. I've purchased clothes at the local dollar stores that fit perfectly. This doll is just the right size for her and is just squishy enough for her to cuddle. She loves it! I love it! It's a great product.

We got this doll for our 7-month old for Christmas. I wanted to give her a first doll that was safe and fun. This little gal does the trick. What I liked first about this doll, is that it is available with different hair colors and skin tones. Most of the dolls out there are blonde and blue eyed. I like that she has a belly button and a little tushy. Our little girl loved her instantly and loves to play with her. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars across the board is that the diaper is almost always coming off in the back, the ribbon on the head is always untied (but at least well secured) and the wrist bracelet, while cute, often slips off the wrist (which is not a huge deal, it is sewn into the seam of the arm). So while the doll is fun and sweet, I wouldn't feel safe letting my daughter play with it unattended or nap with it.

Santa brought this for my daughter this year (she's 1 1/2) and it was by far her favorite gift, and remains her favorite doll. The fabric is soft, and unbelievably-cute details (like her outie belly button, tuft of hair, cloth diaper, hospital name bracelet, butt cheeks!) are perfect. This is a perfect first doll. (Other than the ribbon in her hair, I can't imagine what could be a choking hazard). I plan to give this doll as a gift many times.

We gave this to our daughter for her first Christmas. She was only 7 months old, but it was such a thrill to see her hold it and actually hug it! This doll is so soft and safe that it has found a home in her crib ever since. She is now twelve months old and still wakes up and quietly plays with her "baby". She loves to undress her and try to take off the hospital bracelet, which is still attached so it must be strong. The only down-side to this doll is that the material attracts dog hair and we have german shepherds. Therefore I am trying to keep it a doll that stays down in her room. Compared to all the other non plastic dolls, this is by far my favorite!!

I searched everywhere for a soft doll for my daughter's first birthday. This one is large enough for a toddler to carry around, it is very soft and safe for her to play with and sleep with. It also is a brunette and cuter in person than the image on line.

My daughter instantly loved this doll! It's soft and cuddly. She has several plastic baby dolls she was attached to before this doll, but now she barely even looks at them. She loves the details like the belly button and fingers. She also loves that she can hug and cuddle the doll- she sleeps with it for naps and at bedtime, we don't go anywhere without her. She's perfect! I love that the doll is super cute, a great size for a toddler and that we could get it with the same hair color as my daughter. She wanted me to take the hospital band off almost immediately, but if you are careful, you can take it off without destroying it. I saved it so that when she finally names her baby, and if we ever have another baby, she can have her baby wear the hospital bracelet. Right now she doesn't quite understand it, but I think she'll enjoy it in a year or so. This doll came packaged in a plastic bag - and as someone else's review said, I don't think it's suitable for gift giving as is. Make sure you take the baby out of the packaging and wrap her up for gifting. A small child won't want to fight with a plastic bag, not to mention it doesn't look very nice. It's simply there to protect the baby until it arrives to your house. I didn't think it was that big a deal. I know this doll will be my daughter's favorite for a long time. She just loves her!

Purchased this for my about to be 2 year old daughter for Christmas. I love the doll because it's super cute and a nice size. My daughter hasn't been very interested in it however. She does like to put her baby diapers on the doll but that's the extent of her interest. She seems to prefer the more life like looking dolls that she's received as gifts in the past. Still a nice toy though that my little one may grow to like more.

This is the perfect first doll for children! It is totally soft fabric without any hard parts making it so nice to hug and hold. The details are so adorable! The materials and construction are high quality. I would buy it again!

I ordered this as a shower gift for my daughter. Both her and her husband have brown hair so I got a doll with the same. It is so cute and I used this along with decorations as the centerpiece on her table. Very nice doll, soft, has a cute outfit and comes with an arm band for them to write the babies name and weight on it. Very cute item.
