| cheynasmom's Full Review: Bitty Baby |
Last year for Christmas I purchased my daughter her first "baby" from American Girl. I decided that due to her age, she was turning two a couple weeks later, that we would start her American Girl Doll Collection with Bitty Baby.
Her Bitty Baby came with Bitty Bear, a 5 inch bear with movable arms and legs. She came in a sleeper and a diaper. When ordering your Bitty Baby you have five ethnic choices to choose from. African American, Brunette or Blond Caucasian, Asian American and Hispanic. I chose the Brunette Caucasian Bitty Baby, since my daughter, husband and I are all brunettes. Bitty Baby has a soft cloth body and vinyl arms, legs and head. Her eye’s open and shut, depending on what position you put her in.
Bitty Baby has lots of accessories. She has a Lullaby Basket, Suitcase (as well as one for Bitty Bear) and a Baby Carrier(snugly). You can also get a Crib and Bedding set (sold separately), Changing Table and Diaper Bag (includes a towel, wash mitt, two flannel diapers, an undershirt and make believe bottles of powder, lotion, milk and juice). There is also a Booster Chair, Breakfast set, Wagon and a great Stroller. I ordered the stroller when I ordered Bitty Baby and it is as good as a regular stroller that you would purchase for your child. It is an "umbrella" stroller and has rubber wheels and the front ones even turn.
Bitty Baby has a lot outfits for you to also order for just about every occasion. Each outfit comes with a matching accessory for Bitty Bear, book and (if applicable) accessories for that are relevant to the outfits. The choices include:
Fun In the Sun, a beach set.
Big Top Fun, a circus set.
Rainy Days, a slicker set.
Ready, Set, Grow, a gardening set.
Autumn Fun
Happy Birthday, a birthday party set.
All Dressed Up, which looks like a Christening gown.
Fancy Feet, two pairs of shoes and matching socks.
She also has three new outfits:
Sail Away, a sailor suit.
Take a Little Trip, a fleece jacket and hat.
Trick or Treat, a pumpkin outfit.
There is also a starter set that you can order, with a savings of $32.00. I now regret not ordering this with my original order. With the starter set you will receive, Bitty Baby and Bear, The Birthday Set, Sunny Day Play Set, a receiving blanket and the suitcase. Bitty Baby and her accessories are recommended for children age three and up.
My daughter did not play with her doll very much in the beginning, but things have changed and she loves to take her baby for walks in the stroller, change her diaper and feed her pretzels. She is fascinated with the baby's eyes opening and closing and treats the Bitty Baby as if she was the mommy, it's interesting to watch her interact with the doll. I plan on purchasing her some more of the dolls accessories this year for Christmas and her birthday. Maybe in another year or so we will also order her one the American Dolls.
You can see Bitty Baby and all of her accessories at www.americangirl.com.
I had written a previous epinion on Bitty Baby back in January, before there was a separate link. I have deleted that epinion and replaced it with this one. Trust me, this one is much better.
