Melissa & Doug Mine to Love Brianna 12-Inch Soft Body Baby Doll with Hair and Outfit

I wasn't sure after reading a few of the reviews what I would think when the doll arrived but I was actually very pleased. She is not gorgeous with nothing in her mouth but certainly not ugly. I mean come on people, she is NOT an expensive doll! But I think she will hold out well for my baby girl. The hair is super soft and my 1 year old daughter (who I bought the doll for) and 2 year old son both love this :) They also think the little pacifier is funny. She has a light powdery smell, certainly not overpowering by any sense of the word and I would not worry about allergies, toxins etc. Briana does have eyelashes which may not be a good idea for a 1 year old (whoops, didn't notice this when I ordered her) but it does add to the character of the doll. She's a perfect little dolly for a small girl (or boy!).

We have 4 of these adorable Brianna Dolls! My little son has this habit where he has to wrap his fingers around strands of my hair and suck his thumb in order to go to sleep. Terrible! So, at age 1, I bought him his first Brianna doll, so that he could use her hair instead of mine to go to sleep. Each year I've gotten a new one for him. The old one has some pretty bad dreds, and he does prefer the newer ones, but he will use the oldest one if the other ones aren't around. He takes a Brianna doll to preschool with him to use for nap time. I also think it is a good idea to let boys play and use dolls if they are so inclined. It helps with empathy and nurturing. My hair will always be his favorite, but he sure loves his Brianna dolls, too. He takes good care of her, puts her to bed, gives her her own thumb or pacifier (she comes with the ability for both!), feeds her (I bought the Melissa and Doug feeding set for him which includes bottles, pretend baby food, spoon, and bib), and cradles her. This same boy is rough and tumble with tractors, fire trucks, trains, and planes. This Brianna doll just gives him a little softness that rounds him out just perfectly. Melissa and Doug makes excellent quality toys!

Bought this for my 1 year old daughters birthday, it's exactly what I was looking for. I needed a doll with a lot of hair she can grab onto, she has to hold my hair to fall asleep and I needed something to take the place of that, this was perfect. The doll has A LOT of thick, shiny, soft beautiful hair, she smells good has a sweet face and even smells good. The hair can be taken out of the pony tails and brushed, I'm really amazed how much hair she has and it's not falling out all over the place. The size is a good size so my daughter can lug her around herself. The price is fantastic compared to all the other dolls I've looked at, so if she does totally destroy her hair I don't have to worry about it since I didn't spend a fortune. My daughter has 3 other dolls that she's never really played with, in the 4 days she's had this one it goes everywhere with her she loves it and so do I. HIGHLY recommend this doll.

Very cute and adorable little doll. I bought her for my granddaughter who is 20 months old. She was fascinated with her eyes opening and closing when laying her down or picking her up. She enjoys putting her pacifier in her mouth. The doll is very size proportional to toddler children. My one complaint is that I am dissatisfied with the dolls bloomers not fitting well to her. They do not stay up and need to be stitched or tacked to the cloth body to keep them up. I understood howler other outfits may be purchased but am hesitant to try because they may also be poorly designed.

My daughter had one of these years ago. I loved this doll especially because its looks reminded me of my daughter with its dark hair and dark eyes, but also because of its nice features. She really enjoyed playing with it for a time. Unfortunately, her obsession for stuffed animals edged out the baby dolls, so we eventually got rid of it when toy purging. It's hard to find a decent quality doll for a reasonable price. It's even harder to find one that has eyes that open and close and look realistic, which was important to me. Many little ones are so enamored by the eyes that can open and close and it makes the doll feel more real to them. My daughter just loved that feature. Most of the dolls on the market are hard plastic all the way through, while this one has a plastic face and limbs, but the torso/body part is soft and huggable. And finally, if you do find a doll that looks realistic, has nice hair to comb, has a soft body, has eyes that open and close, you will often find the price 2-4 times the cost of this doll. This doll hits the right features for a reasonable price point and is quality made. When a doll was requested for Christmas for my 3yo niece, I jumped at the chance to get this particular doll for her. She opened her present and couldn't wait to get it out of the box. She adores her new baby doll.

We bought this doll for our daughter for Christmas, along with the blond haired one from Melissa and Doug and also the ballerina doll. I took the dolls out of their packaging so I could undo all the twist ties and things and then carefully placed them back in the box to wrap. This way, our daughter can take the doll right out of the box and enjoy her Christmas morning without having to wait for us to spend a half hour freeing her. These dolls are a nice size for our 22 month-old daughter. These dolls have hair, which is something we think our toddler will enjoy. We also have one of the Corolle dolls but it doesn't have real hair. These dolls obviously have hair but they're the smaller size that's easier for a toddler to carry around. We're pleased with the look and size (and even the nice smell) of these dolls and we're sure our daughter will like them Christmas morning.

I was so excited to order this doll for my 16mo old. I was a little worried since some complained of a smell, but when she came in I was thrilled. The smell is not bad and actually reminds me of dolls I had growing up in the 80's. She has a good weight to her and she's petite enough I think my daughter will be able to tote her around. I brought her to work because I was so excited she came in, and the first thing everyone wanted to do was hug the doll. My boss who thought about ordering one too was regretting not doing it. Though the face wasn't AS cute as the picture, it's still cute. I do suggest what others have. Get the doll out of the box before you give it. She was attached to a lot of wires and threads. Even with a box cutter it took ten minutes to get her free. It was so worth it though!

È stato il ragalo di compleanno per una bimba di due anni 🤗 graditissimo
