KMINER's Full Review: Fisher- Brilliant Basics My First Doll
When looking for Christmas gifts for my then 17 month old daughter, it was clear that she wanted a stroller and baby ... just like her sister had. The problem was her sister is 20 months older than her, and the little one was having difficulty tooling around with her sister's toys. When I went shopping for holiday gifts we saw the Stroll Along Walker and the matching My First Doll, both from Fisher Price's Brilliant Basics line. Though each toy can be played with independently and are sold separately, we purchased them both so that the little one would have the whole set!
The Fisher Price - Brilliant Basics My First Dollis a soft, small doll that only comes as a "white" baby in a pink outfit. The entire doll is soft and pillowy, and really easy to squish. There are no removable clothes, shoes, hair or the like. The baby has blue eyes and a sewn on happy expression, and stretches out as if toddling and able to walk toward you. The doll rattles when you shake her. The age range is 1 month on up, and you can see how this is a cute doll that could be used with a lot of little ones and grow with the child. The doll costs $10.00.
Product Description "A baby doll for your little baby doll! These are soft, huggable, and ready to delight little ones with every shake and rattle. Easy to hold and carry, and a great way to encourage early role play! Soft and cuddly, fun rattle sounds, machine washable, rattle, rattle & shake me! Classic play to enrich baby."
We purchased this doll in part because she was darling and because my youngest is really a bruiser who is really rough on her toys. But we also purchased this specific doll because she went with the related stroller we were also getting as a gift. The Fisher Price - Brilliant Basics My First Doll works great as a separate toy, and with the stroller after all!
Alone the doll is completely huggable. This doll has been taken to bed a lot of nights, and is so squishy that I don't have to worry about my daughter rolling over on it and being uncomfortable - like I do with some of her "harder" dolls. She seems to love to take this doll outside as well (I personally think it's because the doll is so light weight, Miss Katie is often found to be grabbing the doll by one arm and flinging it all over the yard!). We've had to "rinse off" the doll before and she scrubs clean and dries well. The doll doesn't really do anything, but is completely safe to play with and very eye catching for the children.
With the stroller this My First Doll fits perfectly! That thrills me as a parent and is the main reason that I purchased it. There is nothing more frustrating for a child and parent than a toy that doesn't "fit right". It drive my girls nuts to have dolls that won't fit in various strollers - so having this doll designed for this specific stroller in mind was great! The size is perfect and the legs fit beautifully. (that's been the hardest fit for the "other" dolls) This doll is easy for my daughter to get in and out of the stroller, and that was a skill she was able to do when she first got the doll at 17 months and can still do now at 2 years.
All in all, the Fisher Price - Brilliant Basics My First Doll is a really great "first" doll that can be played with alone or with other Brilliant Basics toys.
