Best interactive doll
592211
My daughter loves Corolle dolls. She is 2 and she owns 20 dolls but she only really plays with one: the 14 inch baby doll from Corolle. So for Xmas, we bought her Lia and she completely felt in love with it. The doll is very interactive without being annoying like most of the other interactive dolls. She doesn't have a turn off button but she turns off pretty quickly so it is not a problem. I was a bit hesitant to buy such an expensive doll but I am with happy with it.

My daughter loves to play with this doll, I would say that it's one of her favorites. It's definitely worth the money.

Just wanted to say that my daughetr LOEVS this doll and plays with it much more than the other "non-singing" Hannah dolls she has.. and a NOTE to the PREVIOUS REVIEWER who stated "hearing the same few bars of an over-played song over & over is annoying" DID YOU FLIP THE SWITCH INSIDE HER?? Most toys now-a-days come with a switch inside with 3 settings DEMO,OFF,PLAY ... When you get the toy it is in DEMO MODE so that when people test it out int he store it only plays a small part of the song so the Batteries won't be worn out for hte person who actually BUYS it and takes it home... THis is ALSO true for these Hannah Dolls... Flip her switch to PLAY/ON and she will sing the WHOLE SONG for your child...
*And... of course it might still seem repetitious after a while BUT it SURE beats that FISHER-PRICE RECORD PLAYER we had when WE were kids that OUR Moms had to endure!! LOL

This is my second purchase of this doll. The first was for my 1 year old and she adores it and the other for my 2 year old niece who also loves it. The doll itself is well made and when you squeeze both hands she sings Ring around the Rosie, you can also join both her hand together for the song to play as well. The box she comes in is soo cute and it comes with info on how to install the Mooshka app on your smartphone for fun paper doll adventure stories. Great purchase!!!

Madame Alexander always made the best dolls...this one is no exception.  She is realistic looking (many these days have 'cotton balled up' hands and feet - maybe to save money in the manufacturing - I don't know); THIS doll has soft hands and feet and her eyes BLINK!!  This is a really nice baby doll for little girls.

This is really a cute doll for my neice to play with when she stops by for a visit.  The doll moves, crys, laughs, giggles, poops and eats.  It's not overly annoying with constant movement and sound like the very first Baby Alive's used to be.  Years ago, I purchased the first Baby Alive as a Christmas present for my daughter...Santa just had to bring it to her, she wanted it so badly, but after about 1 hour we had to put it in a closet to shut it up!  Now, when I brought this one into the house my now college aged daughter reminded me about hers and questioned what I was thinking!  Happily, we've found it is quite a nice doll and is only "alive" when being played with.  I haven't boughten any food or diapers for this as I just think it is a waste of money, but my neice doesn't seem to mind not having the extras.  She loves the doll, loves holding her and talking with her.  Nice toy all around.

This "paper doll" is durable AND for brother!!  My granddaughter has a fabric "paper doll" set that she takes to church or doctor waiting areas for quiet play.  While hers is great for her, brother didn't have a quite time doll.  This is perfect for him.  The doll can be a fireman, policeman etc..

This is a dream of a doll. She smells divine (my daughter calls the scent vanilla frosting) and is beautiful and durable. The quality of the doll is the best of any doll we have owned. The best part is her hair. It can be washed and brushed and styled. My 3 year old will do this for hours. Her hair never tangles in to a mess like other dolls hair. This size of doll is perfect for a young girl who is not yet ready for the American Girl dolls. The Corolle clothes you can buy for her are very expensive, but I found some darling handmade ones on etsy for a reasonable price. This is a toy we will be saving forever. It's a classic.

I found ours to have a few hiccups in that no rhyme or reason when she would cry or vocalize cry.  This toy totally needs supervision if played with in the home because the water does dribble everywhere.  Baby cry and cooing sounds are very realistic.  You will need distilled water, which you can buy at your local grocery usually.  The two AAA batteries in my doll where dead so had to replace, and you will need a tiny head phillips to do so.  Quality plastic, paint, fabric and workmanship went into the doll.  The presentation box is very clever and looks as if the doll is in a baby car seat.  So just going to let my granddaughter play with this, I know I had issues with her operation but nothing that I think will interfere with the intrigue and fun.

I love this doll because the face and hands are very very soft plastic and the body is plush so it's easy to throw around. My niece who is mixed loved this doll (her mom just had another baby) because it looks more like her than any other doll on the market. Now when her mom is paying attention to her baby, my niece can pretend to take care of hers as well.

My 2 1/2 year old loves this doll.  She talks to her all the time and enjoys pushing her in the stroller and carrying her around.  My 6 year old twins think she is very funny as well and enjoy listening to her talk.

I read the reviews AFTER we had already bought this doll for our daughter's 3rd birthday.  I was concerned about this doll not working as described or it falling apart and her birthday present becoming a disater instead of a joy.

Was I wrong.  My daughter receieved many birthday presents, but this is the ONLY one she has played with for 3 straight days.  She continually wants to play with her, feed her, hold her, and get her to sleep.  We have had not problems with her eyelashes/lids coming off.  The baby's noises are very quiet and do not bother me at all.  They are perfect and my daughter responds to baby Annika (as she named her) immediately.  When the baby cries she asks me "What do I do Mommy?".  That makes me laugh as that is how I was as a new mom with a newborn!

So far the baby functions just as described in the directions.  Chou Chou cycles through all the functions just fine and even shuts off automatically (to save batteries) if you don't play with her for a certain amount of time (30 - 60 seconds?).

We did purchase this baby from Germany when we were visiting my in-laws, so maybe the quality of dolls over there is different than the ones in the US.

This doll is great! It is so sensitive to the touch that even my 4 month old granddaughter can make it goo and laugh.  This was a present for my 2 year old granddaughter and she loved it.  It comes with a carry seat that she carries the baby in. She can also carry her on her back like a backpack. Great product for any little girl!

This is my daughters favorite doll. Watch out for little ones trying to stuff food in the mouth though. It picks out easily with a toothpick though.

I purchased this doll for my 3-year-old daughter for Christmas, and I have to say, I'm really impressed.  It's amazing to hear it say your child's name!  You can also program it with three other names that Dora will incorporate into the things she says, which I love.  She really does "know" every name you can think of!  My son's name is Benson, and I thought we'd probably have to settle for Dora saying "Benny," but no!  Even Benson was on her list!  My husband is a product design engineer, and even he was super impressed by the features of this doll.  They really did think of everything--you can even program it while it's still in the box!  Yes, I think it's kind of a pain that Dora can't remember more and that I'll have to reprogram her twice a week or so, but to see your daughter's face on Christmas morning when she hears Dora say her name will be priceless!

NOTE FOR PARENTS PROGRAMMING THE DOLL ON CHRISTMAS EVE WHEN FISHER-PRICE IS CLOSED: When I installed the drivers for this doll on my computer that runs Windows XP, I received an error message from Microsoft saying the software hadn't been tested by Microsoft for compatibility with Windows XP and that I shouldn't install it or it might make my computer unstable, susceptible to a virus, etc.  I called Fisher-Price's customer service, and they told me the software was tested by their engineers and that it's completely safe.  They told me to click "continue" to install the software.  I just thought I'd pass the tip along!

Again, this doll is SO unqiue!  It's definitely the hot, must-have toy for Christmas!

UPDATE FOR PARENTS HAVING TROUBLE INSTALLING THE DOLL'S SOFTWARE:  I have read other reviewers saying this doll keeps giving the error message that it's not connected to the computer when it is.  The doll is not defective--it goes back to the comments I made above about installing the drivers.  To fix this problem, you just uninstall the drivers using the "control panel" on the start menu, and then you reinstall the drivers and make sure Windows XP knows it's okay to install the software even though Microsoft hasn't tested it.  I, too, got the error message that the doll wasn't connected when it was because when I installed the drivers the first time, I stopped the installation process when I received the Microsoft error message.  To fix the problem, just uninstall the drivers and install them again, making sure to accept the installation despite the error message.  I hope that helps!

Recommend. Unfortunately, Amazon has no real category for these limited edition collector dolls (175 dolls) and it's really unfair to leave any rating for their educational value or durability as a "toy". I hope leaving those categories blank does not adversely affect the rating, as this is one beautiful doll.  I found this doll fun, but I'm a collector in my 60s!  The Medici series of dolls are all beautifully dressed and are of the highest quality hard plastic with beautiful wigs and precise face painting.  Vanozza is a jointed Cissette with elbows and knees that bend and twist waist. Vanozza is dressed in beautiful deep red velvet with medieval slashed sleeves. She has a special wig and elegant jewelry. She is one of my favorites out of the Medici series for the simplicity and elegance of her gown.  Little girls will like this doll, but it is recommend for girls 14 and over as continuously dressing and undressing her will destroy any value she has. But younger girls will like her and I advise keeping a doll of this quality behind glass in a doll case--I wish my mother had done that with my 50s dolls as most were never played with but deteriorated from being displayed on chairs or beds.
