Both of my daughters love playing with this doll (ages 3 and 10 months). It's soft enough for even a very young baby, but it's large enough and with a realistic enough face to keep my older daughter interested. This dolly is white, but you can throw her in the machine with a little oxyclean and she comes out perfect every time. I LOVE having her outfit permanently attached as it solves the "naked baby problem" we seem to have with every other doll. After almost three years, this doll is going strong and has converted me to the Corolle brand for detail, quality workmanship, and fun.
