Darling Doll
This doll is darling. My 3 year old received it last month for her birthday. It is amazing how it can stand, sit, and lay down all on it's own. It talks and walks. We have fun watching this doll do her thing. It was a hit at the birthday party when my daughter opened it. Everyone was laughing and having fun watching this doll. It does best on a solid surface floor such as wood and not too well on tile, since the cracks and bumps make it difficult for the doll to walk. Just one hint: Don't forget that it needs batteries in it's back, and BOTH of its feet. It took us a bit to figure out the feet thing.

After the first couple of days, this darling doll has not been played with. My 8 year old daughter will play with it occasionally, but it is not the doll of choice. The doll has a very hard, stiff body. She does not work well with everyday pretend play. When she is turned off, she is stuck in the position that she was in when you turned her off. Her legs and arms cannot be moved or bent for strollers, etc. She is not a doll that your child will cudle with in bed.

My 3 year old has two of the Little Mommy Sweet As Me dolls that she loves. They are adorable and great for everyday play. I would recommend them, especially for younger girls. I can pick them up for around , verses this expensive doll (however, I found this doll on clearence for , which was plenty).

Overall, this doll is cute and fun to watch. She is not great for pretend play and cuddling.

Lotsa Fun
After some bad experiences with other toys, I had my doubts about this. I was pleasantly surprised to see this doll really can fall down and then pull herself back into a standing position. She works well on our hardwood floors and does pretty good on our carpet too.

Great Toy
My three yr old got this from Santa this year. Works right out of the box!!!!
Does everything it says, and a 3 yr. old can do it!!!!!

My daughter loves it, but it talks constantly!
This doll is a very noisy battery eater. We've only had it a few days, and she plays with it constantly, so as far as kid-value, it's pretty high. It's not the most durable doll, though. If she holds it while the doll is in motion, it makes an awful clicking sound. It doesn't walk well on carpet, even short berber. It walks best (although not all that well) on hard wood. The peek-a-boo feature only works about half the time because the child needs to act quickly to get the blanket on the hands before the doll moves on to some other activity, such as tickling or jabbering in baby-talk.

But my daughter loves it, so it gets 4 stars for fun.

Had for one day
This doll is amazing, my girls love her. They got her from their Nana yesterday when we celebrated Christmas at her house. So far I'm only seeing one thing that is worrying me about this doll. When she goes from standing to sitting her arms are getting stuck and they pop loudly and constantly until the girls pop her arms back up where they are suppose to be. Then she will finish sitting down. They were stuck a couple of times when she was standing from a laying position. Other than this she is a very fun doll. I think for the technology she is probably worth the price. Hopefully the price will go down some with time though. I wouldn't mind getting another doll so they could each have one without having to share.
The only other drawback that I can think of is the fact that she takes 6 AA batteries. Two in her back and two in each of her feet. We are going to have to buy some rechargable batteries for her because she has already drained the batteries in her back after less than 24 hours. Maybe 3 9V batteries would have been better, I'm not sure.
It seems like I've only talked about the negative things. She really is an amazing doll. She says so many things and her interactions are so much fun. I would have LOVED to had a doll like her when I was a little girl.
Please don't let anything in my review discourage your purchase of this doll. She's worth the money.
