My granddaughter, who is 2, loves this doll. It is a little difficult to handle for a 2-year-old as it is heavy. It is hard for this small of a child to sit the doll on the toilet and balance it. My 2-year-old granddaughter doesn’t seem to mind and keeps on trying to get her the sit and eat and drink. Another granddaughter, who is 9, also loves to play with Baby Alive, although it rapidly becomes boring for her.

could someone explain to me why this doll is more expensive that the african american and caucasian versions???

Could someone tell me why this doll is 100 dollars more then the white doll? I have a daughter who has brown hair and eyes and is half Hispanic and would love to have a doll with her coloring. Why should everyone have to play with the same white, blond and blue eyed doll? Because they jack up the prices on the Hispanic and African American dolls so the parents cant buy dolls their children can identify with.
