I would really like to get dd one for xmas but need to know what they are like. Anyone brought one? Can you advise me me on if you think they are suitable for my dd with allergies please. I need to be able to wash it in the machine regulary if pos. I contacted Disney store and they say they are only surface wash However, if you can let me know if you have washed one and if it has survived! Or whether they contain wire inside them? Then they wouldnt be suitable.
