A great little doll

2008-07-13
My nearly 2 year old daughter and I love this doll. She's had it for 7 months and it's still a favorite. It's a great size and is super cute. She loves to carry around and 'feed' her doll. I have not let her take the doll into the bath so I can't review that aspect of the product. This doll is really cute and smells great too! I'm going to get her another Corolle doll for her 2nd birthday because this one is so great.

A beautiful little baby doll for a toddler.

A 12" doll is just the right size for my 16-month-old son to carry around. The face and clothing colors are unisex, so I feel comfortable describing it as a boy to my son. The doll seems to be constructed well. The jacket comes with two large, loose stitches in each side of the front to keep it on during shipping, but once they are removed the jacket still stays snugly in place. My one criticism is that the head is slightly elongated in order to keep the hat on.

Floppy disappointment

Are you trying to decide between a Corolle Tidoo or Calin for your toddler? My daughter has both, and the Calin is much better. To be honest, she chose this Tidoo online because she liked the outfit the doll is in, with the bright colors and the cute ducky. I thought she would like to be able to take the doll in the bathtub with her too. But since bathtime only takes place for a few minutes each day, most of her doll play takes place outside of the tub, in her doll stroller. highchair, etc. The tidoo is severely understuffed, and is almost impossible to sit up without doubling over (the pictures online of the Tidoos must have some hidden proping mechanism to make it look as if it can sit up). My two year old daughter got frustrated with it trying to make it sit in the doll highchair and could not do so without me doing what I could to prop it up. I can only guess that the lack of pellets helps the Tidoo to dry out after getting wet, but for play purposes, it's rather pathetic to see a baby doll that doesn't look very lively to say the least! In contrast, the Corolle Calin doll is the same length, perfect for the youngest toddlers to carry. With the weight of the pellets, it actually feels like a real baby (not too heavy though, don't worry!) No problems getting Calin to sit up for playtime. Corolle is a really great company that for the most part makes high quality dolls for children, but the Tidoo was a big disappointment.

Great baby doll.

This is a cute doll that really works in the bathtub. We haven't had it long enough to see how long it holds up, but she dried well after her first bath! My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves her. This doll comes in many outfits. When I ordered this one, I chose it because of the outfit, and I was sent a different one. I didn't bother with returns as it was getting close to Christmas and we needed the doll.

Super cute doll.

I bought this for my 16 month old for Christmas and she loved it. It is sized just right for little hands. I chose this doll over others because I thought it was much cuter and I am familiar with the Corolle brand from my childhood. I am skeptical however about how waterproof it would be. We're planning on keeping her out of the tub for now.

Tidoo Bright is cuddly and light and designed to float in the water. She's posable and easy to handle. Quick to dry, after her bath she's ready to be dressed in her bright stripe outfit with matching hat and pink fuzzy jacket. She also has her favorite bath toy, a yellow rubber duck! Her body also has a light vanilla scent. Ages 18 mos. and up. 12" H

I bought the original corolle bathing doll when my daughter was an infant. She was an enormous hint. Baby went everywhere including the bathtub which was wonderful. Baby was accidently lost and I bought my daughter Tidoo Bright as a replacement for my daughter's 5th birthday and she has also become a big part of the family. The small size make her very loveable and portable. I am sure we will get many more years of enjoyment with her. We just add accesories and she becomes new all over again.

Super cute, but not as waterproof as I'd hoped

I bought this for my three-year-old daughter, as she was wanting to take dolls into the bathtub. She's really cute, and it's true that the soft body dries quickly, but I get a little frustrated with other parts of the doll! The head fills up with water, and it's kind of difficult to drain out. Even after the poor thing's been hanging in the bathroom for a couple of days, I'll pick it up and water starts leaking out of the eyes. I can't tell for sure if the arms and legs get water in them.

I'll be pretty irked if this $30 doll that's meant to get in the tub gets mold on it! And water coming out of the eyes... Well really it creeps me out.

Perfect for a young toddler

My 18 month old got this doll for Christmas and loves it. It's the perfect size for a young toddler. She carries it with ease and loves to point out it's eyes that close. She got 3 dolls for Christmas and this is definitely the easiest to carry around due to it's small size.

When I opened the box my first reaction was that the doll was tiny but in reality it's perfect for a 18 mo old/2 year old.

I am impressed by the quality construction of the product. I'm sure we will be buying more Corolle dolls as she gets older.

Great Little Doll

This is a very cute little doll. My 1 1/2 year old got for Christmas and just loves her. She is just the right size to pack around and very light weight. Her baby goes every where with us.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
