Have just ordered the baby born one.Got it in sale so if he doesnt play with it im not too bothered.At the moment he doesnt know what to play with as got so much for christmas he flits from one thing to another.

Im going to buy the elc stroller as well.We cant pass a pushchair without him staring in he is mesmerized by babies and always says he wants one just hope a toy one will do.

yeah, go for it, it's educational isn't it (well good for encouraging pretend play etc)

Will be interesting to see if he does actually play with it and if it encourages any pretend play great.Its a case of whatever helps at the moment as im trying to get him away from the wii all the time.He seemed to like his christmas pressies but dont think he is too fussed with anything(other than his ben 10 wii game).The go go hamsters have gone down well though ds2 was a bit scared of them at first.

We got stuff like that for DS1 when he was 2 and DS2 was on the way. The doll got tortured and the buggy was used for ferrying around tinkywinky and assorted steam engines until it finally gave up the ghost!

We also got hold of a Playpeople dolls house for him and he played with that to destruction, too!

Go for it, i wish dd2 was more interested in doll's, it will be great for imagnitive play.

Go Go Hamsters have gone down well in the house, dd2 is still asking for the 4th waybuloo character (she has 3), i have ordered her one, fingers crossed it comes soon as she keeps saying 'wheres Lau Lau' and 'Lau Lau please', she has played with the other 3 non-stop since x-mas morning.

I got DS2 a kitchen when he was 3, all around me were . I said f'off get stuffed, it's the only time he plays imaginatively.

We got a baby annabel for ds last xmas as he loved the advert, ds did'nt actually play with the doll but did bite all her fingers and toes off hairy worries about what will actually happen if I have another baby mmmm
I would go for it if you think he would like it. Good luck.
