Corolle Special Feature Baby Doll Lila - 17" Doll Review

As a disclaimer, I have little experience with baby dolls so I can't really compare Lila to dolls from other brands. That said, Lila is fantastic! She is a 17" doll and so approximates the size of a small newborn. She is pretty light for a little Mommy to carry though (a pound or two?). She is interactive in four ways--laughing when tickled on her tummy, babbling baby talk when her hand is squeezed, crying when placed on her tummy (but stops on her own after about 10 seconds), and making sucking noises when her bottle is placed in her mouth. The sounds are so sweet, not loud or annoying. My daughter takes this doll to bed with her and when I check on her after she's asleep, I just flip the switch on her back to turn her off so that Lila doesn't wake her up in the middle of the night or during naps. The doll is obviously adorable, as the pictures show. Lila was a 2nd birthday gift for my daughter and she took to her immediately. She has played with it every day since receiving it more than a month ago. The doll sits well in a high chair (Kidkraft, see my review if interested) for feeding. The only downside that I've found is that she can't go in the bath.

At our house, we have three Corolle babies. The brand (French in origin) came highly recommended by a friend. I purchased the Calin doll for my daughter's first Christmas (she was 15 months), and I later got baby Paul (anatomically correct boy doll) to help my older son with potty training. I do think Calin could be a good first doll but my daughter has just never taken to her. She is a much smaller doll at 12 inches and has no interactive features. I'm sure it's one of those things where all kids are different but for my daughter, the interactive features and realistic size make Lila a favorite.

Oh, and this doll won an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award in 2005. A lot of the Corolle dolls got high marks there and I definitely agree. Corolle dolls smell heavenly (vanilla? sugar cookie?) and you can find oodles of coordinating accessories and clothes for them. If my daughter were older, I might just buy the baby preemie clothes for her since they're frustratingly cheaper but she really needs the ease of velcro to change Lila for now. (For anyone interested, she also fits perfectly in the Badger Basket Toys Doll Crib with Cabinet that Amazon also sells.)

Corolle Special Feature Baby Doll Lia Interactive Doll - 17 " Review

Contrary to the review by another, this doll does not really wet.It only "SOUNDS" like it is wetting after she drinks from her pretend bottle. She also cries, laughs, and speaks a number of phrasesin four languages based upon what bracelet (or none) that she is wearing.Her voice functions also shut off automatically "night night" when she is left sleeping or un-played with for several minutes, but then picks right back up when she is attended to.Lea is a lovely 17 inch doll with the typical Corolle quality.My daughter is 4 1/2 and just adores her. She "graduated" from the Bebe Do (received at 2 years) and two different Poupettes...You cannot beat the quality or life like qualities of the Corolle dolls

Fisher-Price Puppy Grows and Knows Your Name White Review

My Daughter had to have this for Christmas this year, She is 7 years old, and loves this puppy, How ever she does not play with it as much as I thought she would, Once the puppy grew to full size, That was it for her, You can however reset the dog so it can grow all over again, The down fall though is once you reset it, you have to re program it all over again with the childs name and so foruth, I think it's a great gift for the price I bought it for 17.99, But there is no way I would pay over 20.00 for this dog, it just doesnt do enough!

Zizzle Lucky the Incredible Wonder Pup Review

This dog is cute.I returned the first one and it did not get better with the second one.First while you can rename it, both dogs did not respond to their new name for more than three commands.So I went back to Lucky.Sometimes I have to call his name two or three times before he responds.He mostly always confuses the commands i.e. I say sit and he plays tug of war.My kids are young so I just say "no you silly dog"and they just laugh off the fact he didn't do the right trick.I only paid $30 dollars for Lucky so overall I'm not too upset.I wouldn't pay more than $30.
