Baby born or tiny treasures?

[Thecat19342]

Hello I was hoping for some advice / guidance for buying a doll for my little girl who will be 3 after Christmas.

We currently have a olliella dinkum doll which she doesn't touch ( "too scary mummy!" apparently - I think its cute) and a bigjigs small ragdoll but she loves the dolls at playgroup that open their eyes/ have a dummy etc she also makes a beeline for the our generation dolls in Smyths so I'm a bit lost on what would make a good present.

She loves undressing her rag doll, putting it to bed, playing doctors, taking it into the sand pit to play or reading to it. It's also been in the bath a couple of times. What doll would be best?

The tiny treasures dolls are lovely but weighted to feel like a real baby, they may be a bit heavy and can't go in the bath. Baby born is lighter and can be bathed. Dgd not 6 has a tiny treasures doll and a lovely one from smyths that came with a blanket and accessories.

At 3yo I’d just buy cheap dolls from Asda or something, they have lots of accessories that go with them. I’d wait a bit longer for the branded ones when she can decide which ones she really likes. We have loads of baby dolls and could not tell you which is which as they all look the same naked. The hard bodied ones are great for taking in the bath.

The our generation ones are good we have a few. The designerfriends from Argos are also good, smaller than our generation, so easier for a 3yo to play with.

My 3 year old was given a Baby Born and still plays with it now at 5, they are lovely dolls.

My 3yo (nearly 4yo) dd got baby Annabell last Christmas. She has some extra outfits and a changing bag and nappies and she spends hours taking everything off and putting it back on. She's getting the lunchtime table accessory and a couple more of the outfits for Christmas this year.
