Help! I'm torn between this and the Loving Family Dream Dollhouse for my 2 1/2 year-old. Any advice would be appreciated.

I agree with coffee lover except my grandchildren did not try to climb on it. These are so sturdy and they come with furniture. Great doll house.

I would definitely get the Kidkraft! The only issue that I would caution you about is the size if this dollhouse. It it close to 4 feet tall. I bought it for my granddaughter at the same age as your daughter. She loved it, but, she also wanted to climb on it. You will have to purchase dolls separately but they are really affordable. I hope this helps.

Duplo seems to stay together better for me. My daughter (age 3) loves them as she can build with them! :)

I had this sent to my grandkids, so never actually saw the dollhouse itself. We bought the little dolls that went with the set. My grandkids have loved playing with it.

We bought this for my 4 yr old daughter last Christmas and she still plays with it at least once a week if not more. She'll be 6 in March. Both she and my 3.5 yr old daughter play with it. As for size, it's way smaller than say a ;Barbie dream house. Or even a regular doll house. It's in a few sections and some of them come apart pretty easily now, especially if manhandled. And the stairs come off all the time. That said, I would definitely buy this again. Oh and if you want to build it before you give it as a gift, give yourself a few hours at least. I did it Xmas Eve because it was a gift from Santa and ended up going to bed very very late. :-)

It's nice, the one at Toys R Us is better for about the same price. My kids have had hours of fun making them.

Good question! I didn't want to use baronies either. We purchased the kidcraft doll family thinking they'd be fine, nope. Idk which to tell you ton purchase but don't purchase those! Not for this dollHouse anyway , they are tiny. You need something as big as barbies. Sorry I'm not help.

Cars are never too babyish IMO. This is a nice size and an amazing addition to a dollhouse.

This is more of a Barbie house, loving family is a bit smaller, either way this is a fantastic doll house. It is sturdy, takes a little bit if a beating (we have6-8 children using it at any given time) I'm sure you can use the smaller dolls in it but definitely big enough for Barbie

I bought a wooden three story open doll house made by Educo. Has anyone tried these dolls with this doll house? tncpm@aol.com

Comes with all furniture...ADORABLE WOOD furniture! This dollhouse is beyond worth every penny. Several kids can play at the same time since it's open on all sides, well made...just think of all the junky plastic ones that cost almost as much as this! They fall apart as they're being assembled and many do not come with much if any furniture.

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

I have 14 grandchildren, seven of whom are girls. I've purchased this for most of them and I'd say to wait at least a year, maybe two. Fisher Price has a dollhouse for younger girls, called My First Dollhouse. You might want to look at that one for a two year old.

Kathy, I sent this to my granddaughter in another state .. my sil put it together and my daughter said it took him 4 hours .. I think it was worth it tho because Chloe loves this doll house which is taller than she is.

Yes, but it depends on the size of the fisher price dollhouse??? I would personally go for the Melissa & Doug wooden version it looks better

So the way I looked at it EVERYONE has one (or both) of the other two. Especially the leapfrog one. I didn't think my daughter would use it if she had the same one at daycare and every play date. Also she loves loves balls and still (at 16 months) watches them go down the legs and sings to the songs.This table also has different (new) songs. I find that leapfrog reuses the same songs on everything she has and so does fisher price. I would pay good money for NEW music on toys!! :)

Hello, I checked Fisher-Price's Web site, and it appears the Loving Family line of dollhouses are built to a much smaller scale than this one. Judging from the photos on Fisher-Price's site, it appears the dolls the girls are playing with in the dollhouses are 4.5 inches tall, or about the size of a Star Wars action figure. My sense of the KidKraft Glitter Dream Dollhouse was that it was designed for much bigger dolls, possibly even Barbie dolls. So therefore the furniture from the Loving Family line would look very small in this dollhouse. I hope this helps!

any of the disney sets that can you buy at the disney store are great! we have no furniture and my girls have been playing w/ this for 2 years! having it up on a table made a difference for us after they lost interest in it on the floor
