We were recently asked if we wanted to take part in the BABY born "babysitting" campaign they are currently running and Evelyn was so excited for her baby to arrive and to take part! When her BABY born arrived it was definitely love at first sight, she couldn't contain her excitement to get the baby out of the box and wanted to kiss and cuddle her as soon as we placed her in her arms. The doll has rarely left her sight since!
BABY born is such a classic doll and actually has 9 life like functions including being able to cry real tears, eat, drink and even wet/poop! It also comes with 11 baby essentials accessories which include a potty, bottle, dummy, nappy, baby food and a bowl/spoon. The life like functions are fantastic and really give children the chance to care for their doll with some real life tasks like changing a nappy and feeding baby.
I love that the doll also comes with so many accessories it means if you wanted to you really wouldn't have to buy anything else for your child to be able to look after their BABY born doll and have hours and hours of fun.
BABY Born doesn't require batteries which gets a big thumbs up from me. It means I never have to worry about her favourite toy running out of batteries or having to constantly have the correct batteries in the house just in case. I also love that the baby functions are totally dependant on the child meaning they can initiate any of the babies functions and be in total control when playing and role playing.
Along with the BABY born doll we also received the BABY born travel seat (RRP £24.99) which is fantastic! Its actually a 3 in 1 travel seat that can convert between a car seat, a sit up chair and a pushchair, meaning Evelyn has all the items she needs to care for her BABY born but taking up minimal space in the house.
The travel seat is great and has been a firm favourite with Evelyn who after a few uses learnt quickly how to adapt the seat all by herself (just needing a little help to adjust the handle height as the clips are a little tricky for small hands). It has been taken in our car, out on the school run and carried around the house and still looks as new so its a fairly sturdy toy too.
Evelyn has been so happy looking after her very own BABY born doll. She especially loves the fact the doll has a hard body which means she can bath her BABY born. She really enjoys it when she can bring her baby into the bath with her or giving her a bath in her very own little tub and its another little task that
BABY born was a firm favourite of mine when I was little and despite not much changing with the doll since then I am almost certain this will be a firm favourite of Evelyn's for years to come too. The robust yet life like doll is perfect for play and the multiple functions of the doll make it perfect for any children who love to care for baby or get in their babysitting practice.
The BABY born interactive doll is priced at £49.99 which includes the doll plus all 11 accessories (even a little birth certificate so your child can name their baby). I think this is a really fair price and you get lots included for the price.
You can purchase the BABY born doll and travel set (as well as lots of other official BABY born accessories) from most toy stores including The Entertainer, Toys R US and Smyths.

I used to love playing with my Annabelle doll that was very much like this! I'm so glad something similar is still around because I used to have so much fun and it made me feel like I had a genuine responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThis is a adorable! And a great idea to get a child used to an arrival of a baby? I wonder does this baby come in other ethnicity? If not it should.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I used to have a Baby Born when I was a child, amazing to see them still around and it looks like they are as fun as ever!
ReplyDeleteIt is great that it doesn't require batteries! I remember most of my toys ending up going to charity as we could never be bothered changing batteries!
ReplyDeleteWe have this doll and my son loves her, he takes her everywhere with us x
ReplyDeleteI never had a baby born doll as a kid but then again I wasn't that into toys, they look like they've come a long way though x
ReplyDeleteAww, she looks like she is really looking after the baby! It's great that this toy doesn't need batteries either.
ReplyDeleteOH i do love a doll that holds its time , i remember playing with baby born when i was little and thats 30 odd years ago , ive bought them for my daughters time after time
ReplyDeleteI do remember my first baby boll it was similar but mine needed batteries, glad this one doesnt.
ReplyDeleteWe are going the campaign too and Eliza has had so much fun with Arlo. We got the baby carrier but she wants a baby bath for ours now too
ReplyDeletesuper cute photos, I know my daughter would love this kind of thing. The price isn't too bad for what you get either
ReplyDeleteGreat that the doll has no batteries! It always so annoying when they run out. My little nephew really loves the baby born adverts on TV and I bet he'd like this.
