I have bought my two year old dd a doll for christmas www.amazon.co.uk/Zapf-Creation-Rock-bye-723753/dp/B0009UZB00 which I fell in love with as I don't like the look of the baby borns and the screech of the baby annabels.

I wanted to get her a pram set with high chair and cot etc to go with it, but the only one I like is the mamas and papas one in woolies and it's for smaller dolls. I love this pram however www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3840717/c_1/1%7Ccat_10198115%7CDolls%7C10198212/Trail/sear chtext%3ESILVER+CROSS.htm

The thing is, I've just worked out the doll is well over half her height! And I'm really worried that she will struggle with it.

I've now been tempted by the baby born twins www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Toys/Dolls/Baby-Dolls-and-Accessories/My-Little-BABY-born-Interactive-Tw ins(0023611) which will come with a free change bag from toys r us then I figured I'd buy her bunkbeds for them (she'll like the novelty as she has just gone into bunk beds). Job done. Then maybe give her the bigger doll and a nice pram for 3rd birthday/next christmas.

Any thoughts?

I'm assuming the baby borns are like the my first baby borns (diddy soft bodied dolls) except they can talk.

I think that first doll is rather sweet and iirc quite floppy which may be more forgiving than a solid Babyborn at her age. The SC pram will probably be too large - dd has that same one since she was 4 or 5. The andle doesn't come that low and the fixed wheels may make it hard for her to steer well if it is large. The My First BB's look most suitabel but I suspect the buggy isn't that great a quality as you are really paying for the gimmicky dolls. Corolle dolls are a nice alternative
