Baby Alive By Blakely Ricco on Jan 15, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

Santa brought this toy for my 3 year old daughter. The box says 3 and up but my child needs help when feeding the doll. I have to mix the food since it has to be measured. The doll is heavy and will tip over (when sitting) if you are not careful while feeding her. Also a heavy doll if your child carries her dolls around the house (like most do!). After her feeding, her face need to be wiped and pretty soon after her feeding, she will need her diaper changed!

Baby Alive will speak and tell you she is hungry, burp after a feeding and will cry. Very cute.

Overall I think this toy is better suited for a 4 year old or a very mature 3 year old. If I had done a little more research, I would asked Santa to bring Baby Alive Giggles and Wiggles. She seems to be a great starter doll in the Baby Alive family.

I also should mention that you will beed to buy additional packs of food/juice. Only Baby Alive foods are to be used. Baby Alive diapers are not necessary and can be substitued with a grocery store brand baby diapers in newborn or size 1 diaper.

My daughter will continue to play with her but with assistance when feeding or changing her.
