Editorial Review: Product Description: Just place this amazing doll in the water and she'll begin moving her arms and kicking her legs. She really swims! Set her arms in a swimming pose and she begins swimming when placed in water. Watch her paddle along the surface of the water with her face turned to the side. Dress her up in fun accessories when she's out of the water. Doll comes with slip-on mermaid tail, pair of flip-flop sandals, sunglasses, starfish water and squeaker toy, and headband. Measures 13" tall. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, not included. Amazon.com Product Description: Baby Born is ready to go for a swim. Just pose her head and arms in the correct position, put her in the water, and she knows what to do. This doll is recommended for children age three and older. It's Fun to Watch Her in the Water Baby Born has sensors on her tummy that cause her to automatically start swimming the minute she hits the water, so there's no switch to worry about and no need to wind anything up. Just insert three AAA batteries (not included) in her back, and Baby Born is ready to swim. Your little girl will have fun taking the doll into the bathtub or pool with her. After Baby Born's swim or bath, dry her off, slide her feet into flip-flops, and cover her up with her mermaid skirt. If it's sunny, her headband and sunglasses will protect her sensitive eyes.
The doll is constructed of hard plastic with fully posable limbs and a head that turns 360 degrees. Embedded on the front of the doll are two very small sensors that, as soon as they touch water, cause the arms and legs to move. Baby Born is a vigorous swimmer; she moves her arms in full circles while kicking her legs. The design of this toy is excellent: The doll keeps her face out of the water and remains afloat as if she's actually swimming. Her clothing is bright and cheerful, and her pink nylon bathing suit dries quickly after removal. A matching sequined mermaid skirt (it covers her feet in a split fishtail) matches the bathing suit and gives her an outfit to wear when she's not in the water. Her accessories include flip-flops, sunglasses, and a headband. A small problem with the doll's sunglasses is that they fall off easily and don't fit properly across her nose. She Swims Fast, but Not Far For ideal balance, the manufacturer recommends holding the doll underwater until all the air bubbles disappear through the holes in her back. However, the doll's performance was excellent even without removing the excess air. In the event your three-year-old forgets the air-removal step, the doll should swim fine and evenly, without becoming unbalanced or listing to one side. For optimum results, it's best to have enough water in the tub (or pool) so the doll's legs can kick freely without coming into contact with a hard surface. Touching the bottom of the tub can cause her to swim crookedly. This, however, is not an issue with adequate water levels. Though the doll's form is excellent and she really does resemble a swimmer, she doesn't actually travel--a positive thing in general because it's the doll's activity that will appeal to your child, not the number of laps Baby Born completes. One minor quirk is that the motor powering this doll is very loud. What's in the Box Doll, bathing suit, mermaid skirt, flip-flops, sunglasses, headband, starfish. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This doll sucksI bought this doll for my daughter's birthday. She asked for it forever! She played with it for a week and it is broken. I opened the battery pack and the entire thing is wet and the batteries are leaking everywhere. NICE TOY! Rating: - Stopped Working After Just a Few UsesI am SO disappointed and angry that I spent so much on a toy that stopped working almost immediately. I've changed the batteries, I've made sure her head is turned, I've put her arms and legs in position, I've submerged her---she just won't work. My daughter is oddly not heartbroken, because she just likes to have a baby doll in the bath, but I am not happy that I spent nearly $40 for something that broke immediately. I saw another review like this and wondered if I should take a pass ... Read More Rating:  - My girls LOVE it!We got each of my daughters (3 & 5) this doll for their birthday, and they LOVE it. They play with it in the pool and the bathtub. Has worked with no problems every time! Rating: - This should be for older childrenWe got it for our 3 year old daughter and gave it to her on the day of her little sisters birth as a gift from her new sister. My husband took the doll and 3 yr old home that night from the hospital and went straight to the tub. She was terrified of it to the point my husband had to take the batteries out to make it stop moving. Since then- I've tried everything to get it to work again. I've put in new batteries, I've submerged it, nothing- it stopped working. Not sure if once the seal was broken ... Read More Rating:  - Little SwimmerBought this for my niece for her birthday. I was hesitant because it is a little pricey and not really sure if she would work like they show on TV. The doll is smaller than she appears on TV but she does really swim and she was a hit with my niece. Would recommend to a friend. |
