 Great doll....wrong customer expectations Nov 17, 2010
By CSeppala
I grew up in the 60's/70's and had several drink and wet type dolls. I loved them and played with them all the time. It was a thrill to change a "real" diaper because it was actually wet! The dolls were very low tech (no tech actually) with just a hole in the mouth for the water bottle and a small hole in the bottom for the pee. Yes, the water would just come right out. No big deal...it was supposed to. It wasn't a lot of water, just a smidgen.
Remembering how much fun I had with this type of doll, my mom looked high and low for one like it for my now 6-yr-old daughter for Christmas last year and came up empty handed. So glad we found this doll. She is just like what I had as a child. It will be a fantastic present for my daughter this Christmas.
I think part of the problem today is customer expectations. This may be the fault of the manufacturer...if they positioned the doll as a potty training tool. The doll is obviously an infant...not old enough to even "walk" yet so clearly would not be time for potty training. The potty seat should be left out of the box. This seems to be the case with most of the other drink and wet dolls I now see on Amazon. Everyone keeps mentioning the potty training aspect. Forget the potty training with this doll...and just let your child enjoy a basic caring-for-baby play time and you should be happy!

 Cute doll, zero help for potty training Jun 13, 2010
By Isabelle Green
Because this doll is relatively new, I ordered it without having any reviews to go on. I was planning on using it as a demonstration doll for potty training my 2 year old. However, I was dismayed to find that the doll only wets while she's drinking - i.e., she can't hold her pee. Consequently, this doll was not very helpful for potty training, unless you want your child to associate drinking on the toilet with peeing (and not surprisingly, my son asks for drinks while he's on the toilet now :)).
That said, this is a cute doll. The potty is only useful if you want to hold her up - she can't sit very well on it by herself. Just be aware that if you get it for your child to play with, the doll will pee right away if she gives her liquid.

 Cute, but not for potty training Aug 18, 2010
By SAlley
My daughter recieved this as a gift for her 2nd birthday. I had hoped that it would help as a "demo" for potty training, but, like the other reviewers have said, "Annie" has poor bladder control! She is really cute and my little girl loves playing with her, so I'd still recommend it, just make sure Annie is wearing her diaper when you feed her and keep a paper towel close by.

Successful toy until we lost to bottle Dec 01, 2011
By Stacy Austin-Li
My 4 and a half year old daughter wanted a baby doll that she could feed and would go potty, so this looked like a great option and we were happy with the quality of the items. It is a little bit of a juggling act to get Annie to sit on the potty and drink at the same time without falling or squirting, but my daughter enjoyed it. She was heartbroken when we left the bottle on an airplane after vacation because that takes most of the fun out of the set. We have called the airlines, called Melissa and Doug (who do not have that particular bottle available to send as a separate item) and are now experimenting with making our own bottle. My suggestion would be to have an extra bottle in the kit - always good to have a backup with these small toys for small kids. Suggestions from anyone else who has dealt with this issue welcome!

 stinky powder scent Jan 06, 2012
By Bonnie
This doll is cute, but nowhere did the packaging or description mention that she is "powdered scented" head to toe including her clothing and accessories. We use fragrance-free products in our home, and I never imagined this innocuous little baby doll would fill my house with powder scent. I am very disappointed and will be sending it back.
