Toys and Games Reviews of Corolle Special Feature Baby Doll Emma Drink-and-Wet Bath Baby - 14" Doll
Customer Review: Works...sort of.
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, I bought this to assist in my daughter's potty training, and for those purposes, it actually worked pretty well. She does like the doll, and continues to play with it. I will say, however, when it came time for my daughter to try to do her pee pee in the potty, she actually pressed on her belly and thought it would come squirting out. HA! That was pretty funny. But the doll did help I think. It is a pain to get the liquids into her without leaking them all over, and she also does drip when you sit her up...so you kind of have to pull her underpants down and put her on the potty rather quickly. She does also go in the bathtub, but my daughter kept getting scared when she would fall over and "drown"...so she sits next to the bathtub. As other reviewers noted, she smells wonderful, which is kind of neat. Overall, she's cute, she served her purpose, and my daughter likes her. I'm glad I went with her instead of the expensive, battery operated, you must buy our diapers and our food model...what a pain. She's pretty low stress on the parent. Worst case, you get water on your carpet. Not a huge deal.Customer Review: Overall fine but somewhat disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought "Emma" specifically for our 15 month old who starting potty training herself. She loves the doll. We find it hard to use. Just as another reveiwer described, it is difficult to get the water in using the supplied bottle. It is hard to squeeze. You have to smash Emmma's face in and then the water spills out the sides.
Also disappointing is this company's version of "anatomically correct". O.k. if you call a tiny hole the diameter of a pencil tip "anatomically correct". I expected my daughter to see something at least resembling the area where her own urination occurs. So I believe the educational value in this aspect is lacking.
The fact that the limbs are hard to position is probably due to the fact that it is rated for 3 and up and our daughter is just not able to move the stiff limbs into position.
Overall, I am disappointed with the doll, but we do use it and my daughter likes it so I just wish we had paid less for it, then we wouldn't be as dismayed with the quality.
Customer Review: Emma gets 5 Stars from this Grandma!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best doll ever. I bought Emma a couple years ago for 3 young grand-daughters and they love her. This doll is meant to be played with, I really don't think it is necessarily an aid in potty training. I bought her after much research and because she was the closest to a real baby that I could find...too many dolls make lots of promises. She feels like a real baby...the girls enjoy feeding her the bottle, putting her on the potty, dressing her just like a real 'Mommy'---they just love her. It's a mistake to buy it for the sole purpose of potty training (it might help, but the work is still up to the parents). Wait till the child is old enough to play with her, Emma is a delight.Customer Review: More fun than you think!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that because there were no buttons or batteries that my three year-old daughter would not enjoy it but I was wrong. She loves it!!! This doll goes every where that she does. I purchased this doll to help with potty training and it did the trick. This is a quality doll, that when you squeeze her tummy she can go potty. Feeding her the water is a little hard because you have to make sure you get the bottle in her mouth all the way. But she doesn't care if she spits the water up or if she actually goes potty. She also loves taking her into the bath tub too! Not as expensive as other dolls but well worth the money spent!Customer Review: Purchased for Potty Training
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll keep it brief. I bought this doll simply to potty train my now two year old. I knew it was a little early to start potty training, but I wanted her to be familiar with Emma so wnen we really started training, she'd feel like a mommy training her baby. The doll is very durable and can get into the tub too. She's very simply dressed, but there are other clothes available for her. Most importantly, she doesn't "wet" until you press her tummy so if you're looking a doll that will eliminate on command, then this is it. Nothing to break, very little stuff to lose so it can easily be passed on to another child.
