| sweetycaroline's Full Review: Cabbage Patch Cuddle 'n Care |
I bought this toy for my two year old at Kmart several months back on clearance . She usually costs $45.99 , but I got my daughter's for only twelve dollars . Oh the joy of early Christmas shopping .
To be quite honest , Erica hasn't gotten her present yet , so I don't know a lot about it other than what I have found out messing around with it myself for this review .
I bought the caucasian version of the doll , however she does come in African - American . I think both dolls are so cute ! Erica's ( my daughter ) has short curly blonde hair and green eyes . The short hair will be great as dolls with long curly hair tends to get overly matted to the point scissors are needed . The doll is wearing a simple pink jumpsuit and sweet little matching booties . She has a rose on her head that has holes in it . This is where the sound comes out . They should have built this to look like a headband , but it doesn't look as ridiculous as it sounds .
The doll comes with software for your child to learn how to become a real mommy . The software is rated E for everyone . ( I don't see just anyone playing dolls so let me give it a G for girls . ) It comes with about the most full length manual for use I have ever seen . Before I go on , let me list the minimum system requirements . The baby can work if you do not own a computer .
Minimum System Requirements
*Windows 95 or Windows 98
*133MHz Pentium or faster
*16 MB RAM
*8x CD-ROM drive
*16 bit graphics with a minimum of 2MB RAM
*20 MB hard disk space available
*MPC - compatible sound card and speakers
*Standard keyboard and Mouse
*Speakers with adjustable volume control
*Ink Jet or Laser Printer recommended
So that's what you need to know and own !
There is a special password that comes with the baby . It's on a footprint sticker in the front of the box . Don't get carried away in opening the doll as this is the only place the password is and you need it to help " customize " your program .
There are many cool things that you can do with your doll . There's a doctor that helps you figure out what your baby likes and dislikes ( something to do with noises the computer makes that activates the doll . ) The doll works best if she is not right by the speakers or you may get some feedback . There are so many tons of things you can do from making food and printable bibs , diapers , finger puppets , placemats , stories , and even band aids , to name some ,for your baby , I can't possibly begin to write them all down here . There are even more things to do on the official web site for the doll .
If you do not own a computer , do not loose hope . The baby does many awesome things without the help of a PC . She requires for AA batteries . With merely the help of these she will associate with her accessories . Her accessories are a pacifier , spoon , feeding dish , and bottle . She falls asleep and you can gently wake her up by picking her up , she will move her arms up and hold her own bottle while making slurping sounds . She also moves her arms up to get her pacifier . When your child feeds her by putting the spoon to her mouth she chews her food ( that is too cool . )Oh and baby gets the hiccups if you don't pat her back and burp her after her feedings .
I bought this doll for my two year old . Obviously my daughter will have to grow into her some more , but I think it is really cute and I know she will love it . The manufacturer is Mattel and they recommend for ages three and up . I don't know if the baby would be worth the high price not on sale and without a computer , but for twelve dollars clearanced , she was a steal . I would say she is worth the full price if you have a PC with the minimum requirements on it .
