How is this Stella doll compared to the Peach that doesn't have a sound? Is it not as snuggly because of the sound box &amp; velcro opening?

My 4 yr old and 28 month old absolutely love the stella dolls and they have the original and this one. There really is no diff in the softness due to the sound box. They did a great job hiding it. Very pleased with it and the girls love that she makes noises. And the binky from either of the dolls works with her not just the one that came with her. So I would imagine that the bottle would do the same thing.

The doll I ordered last year was completely fine we are very happy with it. Sounds like there might be something wrong with yours.

The vinyl is pretty soft and pliable, and feels very soft to the touch. Her arms and legs are soft enough that they can be bent to manuver them into Clothes. Although she is a all vinyl doll, my daughters still find her cuddly.

I agree with other posters--this version is very soft and fuzzy and washes very well. Also, my baby really liked the detachable rattle toy and had no issues with head malformations. I never actually used the plain RNP, but did see it in person at BRU. I did not like the material, colors or feel as much.

Yes, it is noisy when you open it, but our little one got used to the noise very quickly. After a day or two it didn't bother her at all.

The one I ordered had a very scary facial expression. I would suggest a soft doll (all over including face) a rag doll or Raggedy Ann type. You can google handmade baby dolls and find really sweet looking ones that are handmade. Etsy has some I know. My great-aunt had one that she adored and my mother got it on Etsy.

Yes it's soft, spongy and much easier to play. My granddaughter loves it. Worth every cent of it....

the vinyl is more firm, but the body is made of cloth. The dolls are very huggable for children and my own children love them! This particular doll I own myself, but my children play with her too. These dolls are their favorite toys!

Her body has some stuffing in it but also has a bean bag in it, the fabric that her actual body is made of, I think is nylon. It frays VERY easily, example: when my daughter took the romper on and off to dress and re-dress her, the Velcro tore open the back of the doll (within the first week and I couldn't even sew it back together because even without the romper, the fabric still frayed and tore open.) The doll is very cute but also has problems with the feet fraying and coming off, I would definitely recommend looking into another doll, my daughter cried when the baby started falling apart and was devastated even when I offered to get her a different doll, I would never want another parent to have to go through that, heartbreaking!

The vinyl was stiff w/ a smooth matte finish.It is absolutely the sweetest face I have ever seen in a baby doll.It is such a shame that the doll has a STRONG chemical odor....reminescent....in my opinion, to bug repellent. Without unwrapping, I took it out of the box to try to air out and see if that helped, but I started having a coughing reaction to it. NO WAY would I give this to a child or anyone for that matter. My grown up daughter did not have this problem when I showed her, altho, she could smell the chemical. Altho you did not ask, the legs contained those small beebee size balls, as in a beanbag chair, and I thought those were outlawed in "stuff" for small children and pets. I informed the company we bought it from thru Amazon. I had to pay return shipping, about $12 even tho it was purchased w/ prime A. And the problem was not our fault. Hope this helps your decision.

I have hand washed her, submerged her in water, scrubbed lightly on a stain. She turned out fine, but I wouldn't want to do it very often. And she does have a magnet under her smile - it's what holds that pacifier on. Otherwise, she's pretty much like any other stuffed toy. I've seen some ratty Stella's at Goodwill that look like they have been through the washer a few times, so I wouldn't toss her in the wash machine.

No, I bought it as a gift for my friends daughter when she turned 1. This was my own daughters favorite toy In the whole universe! But my daughter and I checked out the "new" style of baby Stella, and concluded that she was just as delightful and cuddly as the original. . With the added perks of the cute sounds. Vanessa

Our toy is not in the same room as the bedroom so it hasn't been a noise issue-it does make some sound but is not really loud.Hope that helps-

Yes, until I read your question I forgot it had sounds. I'll also need to look for the lights. My granddaughter is 13 months and has been playing with the balls in it for the past 4 months and still loves it.

My daughter was a year old when I gave her the Baby Stella Peach doll. She loves it! I believe the pacifier is too large to be a choking hazard. It comes attached to her by a thread of thin tiny plastic (like a clothing tag) so possibly that could be a choking hazard?? My daughter rocks a binky on a "leash" so I cut the plastic off and bought a matching binky "leash" for the doll. Worked perfectly. She is 2 now and I am buying her the Baby Stella Blonde doll. Looking at her maybe (and that's a big maybe) the hair ribbons could be considered to be a choking hazard??... If I feel they are I will just remove them.
