Customer Review: Baby Born Mommy Look I can Swim Doll: The Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Hello once again parents and kids! Today we are going to review baby born mommy look I can swim doll. This doll is just like the normal baby born except it swims. There are sensors on the doll that make it swim and stuff when it senses water. Some customers complained that when their kid was trying to give it in the bath in the baby born bathtub and its sensors started making the doll swim when water touched its body. If you have the baby born bathtub and would like baby born to use it properly, I would suggest getting the normal baby born instead. If you have questions about her functions, I am working on writing a review for the normal baby born too so you can read it soon. This doll comes with a swimsuit,a really wierd looking mermaid tail thingie, some freaky glasses, flip flops and a toyish thing. Oh yeah it also comes with the headband it is wearing. People say the doll is hard to use the doll in a bathtub and you can only get the full effect in a swimming pool. Read the other four reviews before purchasing the doll and my review on the normal one. -Allie age 13Customer Review: Not worth the money, but kinda fun
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently gave this as a gift to my four year old, and she enjoys it somewhat, but so far we've only been able to use it in the tub. It might be fun to try in the pool, because it just propels itself around, nonstop. The lack of an off switch is a big problem, because sometimes the kids just want the baby to stay still so she can be bathed.
CAUTION: my daughter just discovered a semi-hazardous aspect to this toy. Somehow she reclined on top of it in the bath as it was swimming, and the doll's arm continued to move back and forth (up and down?) in a swimming motion. In doing so, it rapidly tangled in my daughter's hair and wrapped up its entire length till it was all the way up to my daughters scalp. It didn't stop and just kept yanking and yanking, producing SCREAMING. Once I got the doll out of the water and it stopped moving, it wasn't impossible to untangle. I got the hair unsnarled with loads of conditioner, but it was no fun. If your daughter has really long hair like mine does, watch out.
Customer Review: Loved by our 4 year old
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this doll for my 4 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. "Julie" has earned top privileges among the doll collection. Many of my daughter's doll clothes fit "Julie" so she has an outfit for all occasions.
I didn't know what to expect of this doll as far as durability. Now that she's been played with a lot, she seems to be standing up to her 4 year old mom just fine. Her arms, legs and head move freely, even though they are designed to move in the water. When she is swimming, if one of her limbs or head is held, she will just make a clicking noise, no harm done. There seems to be a slip mechanism inside her to prevent injury while swimming at the hands of a very young mother. She comes with good instructions - follow them and she should live a long life.
Bottom line - This is a very good doll, a little on the pricey side, but guaranteed to make any little girl a happy mom - and that's priceless.
Customer Review: This should be for older children
Summary: 1 Stars
We got it for our 3 year old daughter and gave it to her on the day of her little sisters birth as a gift from her new sister. My husband took the doll and 3 yr old home that night from the hospital and went straight to the tub. She was terrified of it to the point my husband had to take the batteries out to make it stop moving. Since then- I've tried everything to get it to work again. I've put in new batteries, I've submerged it, nothing- it stopped working. Not sure if once the seal was broken for changing the batteries that it stopped or the fact that my daughter thought the doll could do aerobics and splits that it will no longer work. The legs make a clicking noise when moved which she thought was great- but now because of that- we have an expensive doll that doesn't swim. Maybe this should be for older children.Customer Review: A positive vote

I haven't witnessed the playing with this toy myself (was a gift), but I'm told it's fine and, for us, doesn't have many of the negatives people have experienced -- it turns on and off promptly, doesn't make too much noise, and, more importantly, the little girl who received it really loves it. An issue, however, *is* that the battery compartment doesn't have a seal (at least, not for us); to keep water from going in, we had to put duct tape/packing tape over it.
Other than that, though, a positive vote.
Note: our little girl plays with it in the pool; as far as playing during bath time goes, not too clear if she does that -- I guess that potentially could still be awkward.
