This doll will make almost anybody happy. It is the perfect blend of affordability, lifelike features, lifelike size, adorable appearance, cuddle-factor, and poseability. The absolute only negative I can find is that it is very light-weight. An extra pound or two of weight would really elevate this doll to perfection, but as-is, it is still completely worth buying either for a child or for an adult that would like a therapy baby. This doll has many advantages as a therapy baby over a reborn doll: it is more poseable, it is more durable, it is more affordable, and it is washable. And as a child's doll, you truly can't beat it- this baby will delight and amaze a child. Plus, the best part is this doll wears newborn and 0-3 month clothing, so you can pick out clothing in the baby section instead of having to buy expensive doll-sized threads. Additionally, being baby-sized means that this doll looks right at home in baby equipment too, such as bouncers, high chairs, and cribs... so you can purchase more affordable options for these things in baby sales instead of having to buy doll-specific ones. I can not say enough nice things about this doll. You'll fall in love. Edit: So, I loved this baby so much I came back and bought quite a few more. I got the other AA baby, one of the hispanic babies, and then the Asian baby. I am equally impressed with all of them except the Asian baby. My enjoyment of these babies has a lot to do with how they feel to hold. They are soft, pillow-like, and their body fabric warms as you hold them from your body heat, making them feel so cuddly and comforting. BUT the Asian baby came with a different fabric body. Instead of being soft pillow-like, it has a somewhat plastic feel to the fabric body. I don't enjoy holding that baby. You can feel the plastic-ness through clothing and it is very noticeable. I am unsure if this is something that will be true for all the babies that have the white colored fabric body (the Asian baby and the Caucasian babies), or if it is just the Asian baby, but if I order a Caucasian baby and it feels the same, I will update this review.
