A Great Way to Ease Older Kids into the Big Sibling Role!

I have 3 boys (8, 3, and 23 months) and found out I was pregnant with a girl (now 4 months)last year. When I was given the opportunity to receive the Luvabella Blonde 2018 doll free in exchange for my review, I was a little skeptical to say the least, about how the boys would react. Since the doll was described as being as close to lifelike as I think you could find anywhere, I pondered the idea of maybe trying to use the doll to try and get the boys accustomed to having a little baby sister. To my surprise, after only a couple weeks, I had 3 little helpers "ready" for our newest addition. If the doll cried one would grab the pacifier and one would grab the bottle. My oldest learned how to gently hold the doll like a new baby and slowly rock it. They all learned to be gentle as to not upset the doll. The dolls actions and sounds were extremely realistic, so realistic in fact that I really wasn't sure if we didn't just gain another baby girl! When our new little bundle of joy was born, each of my little men almost had an instinct as to how they may be able to help (as most kids want to do) with anything they could. They played peekaboo, gently tickled her, and even would find our daughter's favorite pacifier, blanket and even brought me an empty, but clean, bottle to make for her. I would recommend this doll, as odd as it sounds, to any expecting parents with children already. It definitely made life easier without the older ones getting jealous or upset because a new baby was taking "me" time away. I will say though, make sure you turn it off at night because otherwise you can expect to deal with a new baby that is a doll keeping you up at night, we had a hard time getting it to shut off!

Lovabella

My daughter really enjoyed her Lovabella dill she is very happy with that she thinks it’s so Cute he likes feeding her giving her her pacifier and she feeds her the bottle with milk I would really recommend this dog to friends and family for their kids and thank you family rated for my free doll for my daughter

Luv our Luvabella doll!

We received the Luvabella doll to review and its absolutely better than expected! My girls are obsessed with teaching her to talk and I'm very impressed with this feature! The doll is incredibly well made and realistic. We have been Baby Alive fans for years but Luvabella is my girls new favorite. We are going to buy another so both girls can enjoy their own. They play with the one we have for hours every day. I highly recommend this doll. She's worth every penny!

Lifelike doll

My 7 year old daughter loves this doll. It is so life like. She takes it every where she goes. The doll has such fantastic detail with her hair and face. She is made to hold up more than other dolls. I also love the outfit and that it came with a couple items and not just the doll.

LUVABELLA RESPONSIVE BABY DOLL - BLONDE HAIR

The LUVABELLA RESPONSIVE BABY DOLL has been so much fun for my granddaughter and I. "Dolly" has gotten alot of attenrion while going on errands with us. This doll is a must have!!!

It's a girl!

My daughter was so excited to get this baby doll. She loves to pretend to be mommy. You can feed, give it a bottle, tickle and so much more. The doll will react to the feeding by moving it's mouth to eat and drink. Moves it's head and talks as well. As you play with it more it will do more, so it's always so fun to see my daughter play and interact with it. Make sure you use great quality batteries and not the cheap ones because they won't work or last you.

So cool

This doll is quite unique.My daughter loved everything about it.It seems ti not use alot of battery stength.The movement of the doll is nothing like I have seen before and really not that expensive

Rather Amazing

My child of course is in love with this amazing doll. She has so many features I'm not even sure we have discovered them all yet. The way she moves her arms is especially impressive to me. She throws them up with glee and squeals.Her mouth moves and is pretty realistic when she is saying words. She seems to babble a lot but does say a few actual words like mommy and excuse me when she burps. I read that the more you talk to her the more she'll learn to say. I love to watch her drink from suckle her bottle. She closes her eyes like she's getting sleepy just like a real baby. She plays peek a boo if you cover her eyes but you have to be in a bright room so she can sense the light contrast. It does have a rather loud anamatronic sound that you would expect from a toy with such vivid motion but my daughter doesn't mind at all. My first impression of this doll in the box was that it was creepy but after taking her out and feeling her soft silicone and seeing her warm expression, she won a place in my heart. I received this doll for free from Family Rated to test and review.

Awesome Interactive Doll

Wow, I have to say that this doll definitely exceeded my expectations! I was very excited when I was chosen to be sent the Luvabella doll to review for free from Family Rated! i really wasn't sure what the doll was going to be like, but I'll admit I didn't have very high expectations. However, once the kids and I started playing with it, we were all blown away! This doll is seriously like an actual baby! She is so interactive and I love that she learns and actually does more the more you play with her! Although this doll is more expensive than most, I think she is worth it! I have to admit that both the kids as well as myself have such fun playing with her! She is of a high quality and I also love that there are different toys and accessories that are included that she responds to, just like a real baby! She is a great way to teach your kids how to care for a real baby, and I would highly recommend this toy! My only complaint would be that the doll is very heavy, and even more so once you put the batteries in, so she is not the most convenient for your children to take with them on the go.

So real I would buy another

I received this doll to review and let me tell you this is the realist doll I've ever seen. My kids are loving playing with her. They love pretending they have a little sister to teach things to. The reactions on their faces when the baby doll beings saying things is priceless. I will be buying more from this brand.
