4.0 out of 5 stars A Precious Doll
I bought this doll for my 4 year old granddaughter. She loves the verbal interaction. Her voice is very clear and her peek-a-boo actions and giggles are very cute. When you record her name be sure to go to a quiet area of the house. This should be done by an adult. Any little girl will love this doll. I do and I'm all grown up. I was concerned that this is a "mattel...

3.0 out of 5 stars A cute doll
We purchased this for our daughter's 5th birthday. She saw it and wanted it so badly. She loved it at first but now a week later she doesn't play with it at all. Which I guess is true for many childrens toys. The doll moves well and holds its bottle and teddy well. It does not recognize it's name however. It is expensive for a toy that my daughter did not particulary...

When you record her name be sure to go to a quiet area of the house. This should be done by an adult. Any little girl will love this doll. I do and I'm all grown up. I was concerned that this is a "mattel toy under the Fisher Price name", however, she was not on any recall list I could find.

4.0 out of 5 stars extra clothes don't fit, November 19, 2007
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mattel Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Doll (Toy)
The doll is great, but the extra outfits don't fit - so don't waste your money buying them. I bought this doll along with the Princess outfit designed for the Little Mommy dolls. It was tough getting the short sleeves over the arms and the velcro in the back hangs open. Oh well. Our 6 year old loves the doll, whom she named Elizabeth. It's a cute doll. It recognizes its name, has many sayings, and we love the way she moves her head and arms. Our little one is still happy with it - so I'm happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprising Little Gem, December 27, 2007
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mattel Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Doll (Toy)
Initially, I resisted buying this doll because of the expense. Any doll over fifty bucks had better be one fantabulous toy. But then I found one at the red bullseye store on Christmas Eve for less than half the listed price here. I had already purchased the Chou Chou Mommy Make Me Better doll because it, too, is somewhat interactive, my 4 year old daughter fancies herself a doctor, and it was only about twenty bucks. However, as soon as I spotted the bullseye deal, I caved to the image of seeing my daughter's face on Christmas morning when she received TWO interactive dollies.

Even though I have never been a gal who cared two bits for dolls, I can understand my daughter's enchantment with this toy. She easily learned her name (only took two tries & it was quick - just remember to go someplace quiet to record it), and she (the doll) is willing to 'play' as long as my daughter wants. She doesn't cry (which I am grateful for since the Chou Chou doll cries) and she doesn't wet anything. Personally, I don't get the appeal of having a doll that wets its diapers, but then again, I did state that I am not a doll person. Another plus is that the doll's voice is not creepy at all - a HUGE plus in the book of someone who was creeped out by dolls as a child.

Anyhow, the doll does exactly as the package claims: she talks, she responds to her name, she plays peek-a-boo, asks for her teddy bear and her bottle, will announce when she's sleepy & will ask for her blankie and go to sleep. Plus, she seems really durable (if not somewhat mechanical inside) & she has an ON/OFF switch. Can't ask for more than truth in advertising!

I LOVE this doll! Thankfully, so does my daughter, but I do to! Its a parents dream interactive doll. It doesnt screech at you, it doesnt pee, it doesnt have to have special diapers or food. Great, right? The best part of it is this-if you dont play with her for a few minutes she goes to sleep and stays that way until you pick her up. Not only that, but she is a quiet doll, not loud and obnoxious like many talking dolls can be!

This doll is A+++ for both kids AND parents!

This doll is so sweet!! I think the specified age is 3+, but I got her for our 2 year old and was worried about her arms, which seem somewhat delicate, but after many months, she's still holding up. She says and does the sweetest things and I've been recommending her to everyone. I am a doll lover and have not found a cuter, interactive doll.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall Great Doll !!, January 5, 2008
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mattel Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Doll (Toy)
My 3 yr old got this for Christmas, I was worried she might be too young for it but it has worked out fine. She is not really interested in using the bottle, teddybear and blanket with her, she kind of just does her own thing so the fact that the doll moves on relatively quickly has worked out well for us, but I could see how it could be frustrating. She does seem to need help with the bottle, she misses her mouth a lot but in some ways that makes it more realistic and my daughter just likes to feed her herself which also works.

She is a nice size for my daughter but a little heavy. Her arms feel weird and her main body is pretty hard & heavy, I would think this could be improved given other interactive dolls I have seen along with less of a robotic sound when she moves her arms (though her movements are pretty complex her arms do more than just move back and forth). I didn't find the sound too loud though and it didn't bother my daughter and I got use to it. She has soft legs that aren't mechanical but it is kind of neat the way her arms and head move makes it look like her whole body is moving.

She works better in a quiet environment but I think that is to be expected. We had the same problem naming her as others have mentioned and she does ask to sleep a lot but will move on if you do something else with her. It is really cute how she says "Hi Mama" when my daughter picks her up and she also says "Up Mama" if she is sleeping and gets woken up. My daughter is really enjoying her, every time we play with her she does something new, she got the hiccups the other day. We have not heard her cry, which is ok, not sure she does cry, but I guess not very realistic.

I do worry about how durable she is being a young 3 yr old my daughter has dropped her several times, one time she reset herself and we had to rename her, so not sure how long she will last.

One thing I like about her is she is only motion sensitive and does not react to noise if she is sleeping. So if my daughter has gone to bed she doesn't react to noises in the room only if she gets bumped or moved. Overall we have been very happy with her and I would recommend her. She is a very cute doll.

I do wish there were more accessories specific for this doll, like clothes etc. the other Little Mommy dolls are smaller so not sure their accessories will work with this doll.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but I question the age range, December 29, 2007
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars

I can see how a slightly older child would enjoy it much more than a 3yearold, although I understand a 3yearold IS capable of playing with this doll. Even at our almost-4-yearold's age, she is almost not patient enough or not passive enough to let the baby do its thing, but more than that, the programming of the name to begin was discouraging.
The doll does everything it says it can, is extremely cute, doesn't cry, and of course can also be played with if it's not turned on. It is an excellent toy...I just would wait till your child is a little older than 4.
Our story is: our daughter became discouraged every time we tried to program its name so we kept the doll off for a few days as she got used to her. Today my husband just programmed the name himself and our daughter was delightfully surprised with the doll and fell in love with her...
Some kids are just crazy about dolls and some are not. Know which way your child leans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed mom & 4 yr. old, December 26, 2007

This review is from: Mattel Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Doll (Toy)
Our 4 yr. old received this doll for Christmas and both mommy and daughter are disappointed. We should have heeded other reviews. My daughter became frustrated after about the 6th try in naming her new doll. My daughter is not soft spoken and even tried stating the new name rather loudly after several other attempts at a normal voice. No success. Mom finally had to name the doll therefore it does not respond to my daughter's voice.
Also, it is tricky trying to get the magnets placed properly in the dolls hand in order to get her to drink her bottle, hold the bear and play peek a boo with the blanket. If it is tricky for mom, a 4yr. old will surely struggle- and does. Needless to say, this Christmas gift is not a winner at all and I would not recommend the doll, especially for anyone younger than say 6yrs. old.

I got this for my two year old daughter as she is growing into babies. She likes all the movement and noises she makes, as well as the doll has maganets in her hand so she can hold the blanket, teddy bear and bottle. My daughter loves it!!! A great baby doll.
