I'll keep it brief. I bought this doll simply to potty train my now two year old. I knew it was a little early to start potty training, but I wanted her to be familiar with Emma so wnen we really started training, she'd feel like a mommy training her baby. The doll is very durable and can get into the tub too. She's very simply dressed, but there are other clothes available for her. Most importantly, she doesn't "wet" until you press her tummy so if you're looking a doll that will eliminate on command, then this is it. Nothing to break, very little stuff to lose so it can easily be passed on to another child.

We bought "Emma" specifically for our 15 month old who starting potty training herself. She loves the doll. We find it hard to use. Just as another reveiwer described, it is difficult to get the water in using the supplied bottle. It is hard to squeeze. You have to smash Emmma's face in and then the water spills out the sides.

Also disappointing is this company's version of "anatomically correct". O.k. if you call a tiny hole the diameter of a pencil tip "anatomically correct". I expected my daughter to see something at least resembling the area where her own urination occurs. So I believe the educational value in this aspect is lacking.

The fact that the limbs are hard to position is probably due to the fact that it is rated for 3 and up and our daughter is just not able to move the stiff limbs into position.

Overall, I am disappointed with the doll, but we do use it and my daughter likes it so I just wish we had paid less for it, then we wouldn't be as dismayed with the quality.

We bought this doll for our daughter’s “potty day” (with the help of Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day), and I wasn’t that thrilled with it. First of all, although Emma (the doll) is learning how to pee, she looks like an infant and my daughter kept wanting to put a diaper on her, feed her a bottle and put her to sleep for her nap. They should make a toddler version with hair and a sippy/straw cup. My second problem with Emma was that I was under the impression that she would hold her pee until I pushed her belly. This is not the case, it started to leak out whenever I gave her the bottle. Pushing on her belly just increased the stream. So I had to feed her on the potty so she would pee at the same time. Or I had to feed her lying down and keep her that way until it was time to pee. Needless to say, she had a lot more accidents than successful potty trips. The third thing is that it was hard to get the bottle in her mouth, perfectly wedged in so that the water would go in her mouth and not dribble out the sides. On the plus side, the only way I got my daughter to drink enough fluids to pee 8 times on the potty was to fill Emma’s bottle with juice because she loved sucking on the bottle. Again, though, it was difficult to keep up the “big girl talk” when she’s sucking on a bottle and wanting to be a baby like Emma all day long. From what I understand, this is the best doll that pees on the market, so I guess you still might have to purchase it, but if you can find something a little better, go for it. And try to find it in a store, I got charged $15 for shipping.
