Baby doll recommendation for 3 year-old?

[morningpaper]

My daughter will be 3 in October when her new baby sister arrives and she LOVES dolls but I don't know what to get her.

She has a variety of cheapy Woolies-type dolls and a small baby Annabel which she loves but could do with something a little more sophisticated.

I used to have a Tiny Tears with 'real' blonde hair that I LOVED - something similar perhaps?

I would like something that doesn't make a noise or look like it's about to administer a blow-job for under £30. Any recommendations?

[Whispers] Tiny Tears is back !! You can even get an interactive one.

tiny tears junior

the moving noisy ones are they ones that they love though

Annabel is the best IMO

Eek

Which moving noisy one would you recommend?

Won't a newborn in the house be noisy ENOUGH for her?

Baby Annabel - she really isn't that noisy (just cries, burps, makes sucking noises, snores & laughs!!) and you can always switch her off

We have baby Anabel, Baby Born and Baby Princess Alexa!!!

I personally like Baby Anabell the best :-)

Baby born is good coz you have to squeeze the arm for noises and if you don't tell a 3 year old they wont do it!!

Elc have a new doll, similar to baby Annabel called baby Milly. It cost £30 & they are giving away a box set of accessories worth £25 at the moment. My dd was transfixed with it.

My dd is 2 and she has Baby Abigail by Famosa, lovely doll and a good size not too big not too small. What ever you do don't get Baby Chou Chou she is massive, my friends 3yr old daughter has her and she carries her round by the head, although there is a smaller one called Giggling chou chou. Another good one apart form Annabelle is Tiny Tears ready for bed, dd has this at her grans you get the doll and her bed all for 24.99 from Argos.

I started a thread about this yesterday. Lottie has a baby annabelle already but like you I want to present her with her own, new baby when her sibling arrives. So I bought a baby born. Reasons were, it comes with the most accessories so relatives can add and everything I do with her brother or sister she can do with her doll. You can bath the born for example but not annabelle. Apparently she's lighter to carry around as well, anabell is quite heavy. Annabel has a soft bidy though and bornis hard, hence the bathing option.
