If I buy this doll for my son, will he become as much of a failure of a child as Caillou? It's cute, but I don't want my son to be terrible at life.

I would definitely say that's up to the parents! ;) If you're wondering if a cartoon character will warp your kids future then I have to say you, the parent, are the issue.

Dear Jared, I have watched almost every single episode of Caillou (more then 250...) and I don't know where you got the idea that he is a failure as a child....I don't se thing in that way. For me, Caillou is a imaginative, curiouse, friendly, respectful child, with a lot of good values. It is far from failure, and much more close to the what I imagine to be a "perfect child". So, if you buy or not this doll, you son's life will be the same. Spend some quality time with him, give him good values and lots of love. That will make a difference.

Absolutely. This doll is very lifelike. Looks and feels like a real baby when you hold it. I bought one for my niece when she was 9 months old and although she has many, many dolls, this is the one she still cuddles for naps, holds while eating and takes with her for car riding at age 2. We're never too old for dolls!!!

There isn't much to it. If your son likes rescue bots then he will like this toy but there isn't much room for him to grow with it. So if you don't mind buying something that he might only like for 6 months or a year then have at it understanding what it can offer.

I actually bought this toy, for my 3 year old. He loves it! But he also is playing with his 6 year old brother. I think it just depends upon your child and what his interests and likes are. But I would buy it again for my 3 year old.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

...my answer got cut off.. I read a couple of complaints that her hair was messed up even with the hair net she ships with (to keep her hair FROM getting messed up during shipment. My doll arrived, her hair was very neat, she was in pristine condition, and the packaging is very good. My eldest granddaughter is into reborn babies. Her younger sister, 7, is not, but when the 7 yr old unwrapped this particular one, she fell in love with it, and takes very good care of it. A lot of reborn babies have hair "painted" on, but as this one actually has hair, she is even more realistic. This is the 4th reborn baby I've purchased, and I think she's the best so far, even they're all very realistic and very well made, in terms of the ones I've purchased. (Plus, this one comes with a lot more accessories, which is definitely an extra bonus.

We have had it now for a month. I have a 2 1/2 yr old son and also a just turned 4 yr old daughter. My son isnt super into it yet, he's kind of a smaller dude. My daughter loves it. She is tall and 49 lbs to give you an idea of her size. It works awesome. We have the buffalo and since it's more sturdy than the chameleon I plan to use for a long time. My 8 yr old wanted to try it out but I had to say no.

Hi, if your mii that you built is a boy there should be no problems playing as a boy. I am pretty sure you can build a boy too, it has been awhile since I built mine. A fun game for sure, have fun with it

Hi If he is pre growth spurt The length is perfect. As for the guitar itself, they are pretty nice. Way Way better than what I started with. I think if you do a little research on the web, the guitar will play very well just by turning a screw or two, And the child will always treasure it. He will learn on it, then absolutely have to switch to a full size. Do not let him sell or trade the first guitar. It does become like your first woman, and he will go back to it at the oddest times!!!

I think it will be too easy for him. The suggested age is 8-12. How about try some searches from amazon Toys & Games by age "14 & up" and also your preferred brand.

I think it is an adorable doll. Her can be brushed. i bought her for my grand daughter who is only 3. I guess I did not expect that she was big enough to keep her hair really nice. I have not seen the doll since I gave it to her. Sorry. I also gave the Cinderella doll to my 2 year old grand daughter. I have seen that one when we were on Skype and the dolls hair looked pretty good considering how well she is "loved".

Oh yes...its a wonderful soft doll..its smaller then it looks in the picture. .your little sweety may like something a bit larger.

Really it depends on his age and ability to care for the figures. They look great and have fantastic articulation, making them well worth the price. However, they are more like display figures and aren't really for rough play.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

Totally. Maybe he/she would be terrible at first. But the kid could learn. I, as a 'kid' myself, can say it. When I was five, I loved this games, so somehow I managed to learn how to play it. Mario Kart is a game for all ages! No matter how old you are, you will always have fun playing it! :)

It's well made. If she is too energetic and would rock too hard, that might be a problem. My grandson did that at age 2, he needed to be watched. He still uses it today and I watch him. He's learned to be gentle. I guess all children need watching to see how they will use the toy. I find it great!

I think it would be pretty iffy. The hat is very stiff, and of course the smaller the head, the less velcro you have available to tie/stick at back; but hey, tack it together with needle & thread. He'll grow into it. I've not seen a youth version.
