Baby doll recommendations

[GypsieQueen]

I'm planning to get by 2 and a half year old dd an interactive doll for Xmas that does any of, or a combination of the following : talks, closes it's eyes, makes a sucking noise when you put a dummy or bottle in its mouth, cries. I don't have a big budget so anything under £30. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Antonio Juan Petit Bebe Cielo is a 27cm baby doll. She has a fabric body and says Mama and Papa and giggleswhen her tummy is pressed. Just within your budget.

Tiny Treasures Baby Girl is £10 over your budget but the best interactive doll I've come across. A 46cm 'newborn baby' doll with a weighted body, opening eyes, scented skin and floppy arms, legs and head. Comes with a 'birth certificate' in sweet (cardboard) 'car-seat' packaging, and wearing a (pink or blue) baby grow, hat and hospital tag.

What about this Baby Annabell Doll? It's on special from Amazon at the moment for £34.87 (marked down from £49.99)... www.amazon.co.uk, type in "Zapf-Creation-Baby-Annabell-Doll" (sorry but I mumsnet won't let me post a link)

Another option is the "Tiny Tears Interactive Doll" which does just about everything you listed... currently available on eBay for £34.85

The early learning centre have lots of dolls on offer at the moment. Recently purchased their interactive doll for our nearly 2 year olds birthday. Not used yet but it looks good. It's on offer for £26 at the moment.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will have a look at all of these, they seem great! Thank you again.
