Adora Bath Time Babies Collection, 13" Baby Doll and Clothes Set, Made with Fresh Powder Scent and Exclusive QuickDri Vinyl Body, Birthday Gift For Ages 1+ - Kitty

Great doll and well worth the money. My toddler recently decided she hates baths and showers and generally being cleaned up in any way. She'd stand in the bath screaming while I rushed to wash her and get her out of the tub before the neighbors called the police thinking I was murdering the child. Orange is not my color so I tried everything to keep her clean and avoid the banshee like shrieks. I bought cups, watering cans, let her bring random waterproof toys if she wanted, even told her I'd buy her an alpaca and nothing worked. Apparently toddlers aren't as interested in alpaca ownership as I expected. Then one day she tried to bring a dolly into the bath. That got me thinking. Maybe if she could bring a dolly to play with she'd be focused long enough on the doll for me to bathe her without earplugs or fear of living my own version of "Orange is the New Black". Unfortunately none of her dolls would survive long if they went in the water. Curses! So I went to Facebook for suggestions and a cousin and fellow mom suggested this doll. I now owe her a wine of the month club subscription because ohmygod the kid sat in the bath and played and there was no screaming! In fact, I had to make her get out of the bath. My kid? Wanted to stay in water. Of course I had to let her take the doll with her out of the bath, but guess what, you can dry the doll off. What?! I know! Squeeze the soft parts a bit to wring it out and it will be a little damp still but at least it's not leaving puddles throughout your house and causing everyone to fall all over the place. Also, damp equals no screaming because beloved new doll was taken away. Seriously, sometimes it's all about survival when you're raising a toddler. The doll will arrive smelling like it was baptized in some expired Love's Babysoft, but the smell will go away. I didn't notice it this morning at all, though I have a pretty bad head cold and am also seriously willing to overlook this one flaw of this magical doll.

Our grand niece loves her.

My niece loves her baby so I'm very happy!

All good!

The kitty doll I received was exactly as pictured. So happy to get the real deal, because I had previously ordered the Adora bathtime doll with the froggy robe for same price ($39) but was very disappointed to find the plastic quality seemed very inconsistent from what was pictured, making me suspect it was not an authentic Adora doll. But anyway, the kitty doll I got through this link was definitely the original good quality version. Thank you.However the dolls cloth body and the robe have a slight chemical smell, and my child is used to organic items. I love the doll but not that smell and wish now that I had tried the Corelle bath doll first.
