Great doll for a toddler!
I bought this doll for my daughter’s second birthday. I also bought a Corolle Mini Calin doll for her first birthday, which is smaller – too small.

She has the sweetest face and smells so good. I bought one for my (now) six-year-old when she 18 mos, and one for my two-year-old when she was born. They have both been cuddled, kissed, run through the dirt, accidentally drawn on with washable marker, dropped, thrown and washed and they are still as cute as ever. The beans in their bodies make them able to sit. My elder child’s has seen some wear – her pinky finger has a hole in it from too much chewing and she’s missing some eyelashes. For her sixth birthday she asked for another baby doll – just like hers only with a complete pinky finger and all her eyelashes! She informed me that she will still keep her original baby ‘because she’s special’ but she really wanted another one that was whole. Neither of my girls will go anywhere overnight without their babies.

From a mom’s POV, they’re wonderful. They are adorable to look at, and weighted just right. Whey they do get drug through the dirt, or drawn on with washable marker, just slip them in a pillowcase and toss in the wash. I have even put them in the dryer. My only negative comment is that now the outfits that they come in are cheap. My youngest daughter’s baby arrived in the outfit in the photo, and it’s all pilled. My older daughter’s first baby came in a beautiful cotton playsuit that has faded a bit, but is still soft and beautiful.

This is a wonderful gift for a mother-to-be as the comforting vanilla scent helps to calm the baby and as they get older, they will associate that smell with bedtime. As long as baby is around, bedtime is never a problem.

Great little doll for toddlers
My 22 month old grand daughter was in love with this “first” baby doll. It was just the right size for a little girl.

I bought both the Charming Pastel and the Darling versions for my 1 and 3 year olds. Both love them and they’ve quickly become favorites. They smell great and are a great size — perfect for cuddling and sleeping. We have both larger and smaller dolls, and the 12″ seems great for carrying around. My older daughters likes to watch the eyes move when the baby is “awake” (up) and “night night” (laying down).

The only downside is that neither doll can hold a bottle or pacifier in their mouths. Although you can get these accessories, your child can only pretend to use them…. unlike other dolls where the pacifier “sticks” in the mouth and stays. This doesn’t seem to bother my older daughter, but my younger one really likes to put the bottle in the mouth of another baby.

The doll bed accessory is really nice and the diaper bag is perfect for carrying around the accessories. My older daughter likes being able to pack her stuff inside it and sling it over her shoulder.

Very cute dolls. Highly recommended.

I checked around for other pricing. Runs about $[...] at [...] and elsewhere. I’ve seen it for $[...] here on amazon — which is just silly.

Great first doll
This is my 16 month old daughter’s first doll and we all love it very much. She has a 5 month old little sister and watches every move mommy makes and was really ready to care…
