Best doll for 3 yr old, Corolle Lila or Annabel version 5

[Betty24]

Trying to send Santa his list for this year. what is best first baby doll for a 3 yr old. Like the look of Corolle Lila but DD is smitten with the baby Annabel currently in John Lewis. Does anyone have these doll and can recommend, which baby annabell's 'cute' sounds drive me nuts by January?!

I have the Corolle Calin (currently on offer on Amazon). Looks cute, some dolls have the freakiest faces! Smells of vanilla! It is never out my 3 year old's hands. I need to wash it when she is in bed, she is so obsessed.

DD is now 11 and still occasionally plays with her baby annabelle - not that she would ever admit it!

Thanks ladies, I really wanted a corolle doll but DH spotted Baby Annabelle on sale at Smyths toys for £29.99 and that was end of deliberation. She has arrived and is hiding in a big box in the cupboard, can't wait to see dd's face on christmas morning!!
