Baby Alive Baby Grows Up (Dreamy) - Shining Skylar or Star Dreamer, Growing and Talking Baby Doll, Toy with 1 Surprise Doll and 8 Accessories, Blue

We got the Baby Alive Grows doll for my daughter for Christmas, and it was a huge hit! She was completely fascinated by each stage of the doll’s growth, from baby to toddler. It’s such a unique and interactive experience, and watching the doll “grow” made playtime extra special.One of the best features is that you can reset the doll and start over from the beginning. My daughter loved going through the process again and again, and it adds so much replay value to the toy.Overall, this is a fantastic gift for kids who love dolls. It’s creative, interactive, and provides hours of entertainment! Highly recommend!

My kid is obsessed with the doll. It’s a perfect gift of you kid asked for a doll that grows, talk, open her eyes, etc.

We bought this doll for our daughter for Christmas. She loves playing with it.

From 3 to 5 year old can enjoy everything about the doll as she grows and you can even change her language!

Super cute idea and my daughter loves the changing stages. The legs seems really vulnerable, though. Because they’re set to be a certain way in different stages, too much moving of them causes a click and they go slack like they’re broken. You have to reset the doll to fix them. There’s not much versatility in playing with the doll since her clothes can’t come off for pretend diaper changes or changing outfits and the only stage that can really be played with the most is the oldest where the doll is fully grown, her hair is out and her legs are straight. Even still, my daughter enjoys her for what she can do and has other dolls that can be used in more creative ways.

We got this for my daughter's 5th birthday and she loved taking care of her and watching the doll grow. She was amazed by it and we have had so much fun playing with her ever since. The size is perfect and it was easy to figure out how to make the doll grow. Very cute and fun!

Granddaughter loved her new doll. Just what she wanted!

First off, the fact that some reviewers are upset the fake doll doesn't actually grow, her legs just move, is both ridiculous and untrue. Untrue because her torso does, indeed, get longer as her legs move to the standing position. Ridiculous because what do you expect, it's a doll!Also the complaints of not realizing you're supposed to keep it wrapped as the beginning stages... that's on them for not looking at the giant red "Stop" symbol that tells you when you're opening the wrong end or what to do in the beginning stage.My 6 year old daughter has fallen in love with Star and loves that she can reset her and go through all the stages over and over again. My 9 year old son even gave it a whirl (LOVE that there's a "daddy" setting) and while he wont admit it, he was pretty impressed.As for value, $50 is a lot for a baby, but then again, it's cheaper than an American Girl Doll. My daughter saved up Christmas, bday and report card money and purchased it herself so I'm maybe a little more critical of the price because I'm protective.All in all, it's a fascinating doll and executed well by manufactures. Just don't force the legs into a different position as it can damage the doll. Arms are posable, legs are not.
