This seems like a good durable baby doll, although we haven’t filled it with water. The only thing we don’t like is the arms. They stick out and only out, making it difficult to cuddle.

When I read about these water babies, I thought it was a neat idea. It would be just like holding a real baby! But, when we added the water, the doll became too heavy for my two year old granddaughter to hold for long. Maybe, we have to let out some of the water or something. But, I feel that is a drawback for younger children. It’s still a beautiful baby doll, but I could have waited until she was older perhaps.

I’m very disappointed in this doll because of the following:
1. The doll can get moldy inside, although the package says it comes with a antibacteria lining and you don’t have to change water other than once a month. Once it gets moldy, it’s ruined because there’s no way to clean it thoroughly and check that for yourself – you can’t see the inside of the doll. I checked on the company’s website all over for ways to clean it and didn’t get anything either.
2. Filling the doll with water is very tricky. You have to manipulate the funnel really carefully and it takes a really long time – at least 15-20 minutes to fill it decently. Small kids definitely can’t do this on their own so this becomes the mom’s job, as if she didn’t have enough to do.
3. The doll becomes really heavy and hard for small kids to hold. If you let out some water, it doesn’t feel as full and fun.
I totally regret this purchase. Feel like I spent way too much time trying to make this doll work rather than having my child enjoy it. Would not recommend this to anyone.
