toddler doll ideas?

[LoveTrains]

My sister has requested that I buy my niece a "starter" doll for christmas. I would love to get her something like this, my sister suggested with a plush body so she could snuggle with it...help!

I like the idea of a bitty baby from American Girl but maybe something that is more MM.

I really, really love the Bitty Baby. It is so well-made and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. My daughter has had hers for a year and it literally looks brand new still. I know that doesn't really help you though.

Bitty baby or baby Stella for more MM

My girls love Stella and they still play with her and they are three and five.

DD loves her Baby Stella doll and there are a ton of accessories for it for future presents.

Yep, Baby Stella is awesome. Get her some fun accessories if your budget is higher. We had the feeding set, the bath, and the potty. I'd avoid extra doll clothes for a toddler. They don't have the manual dexterity to take them off amd on themselves, so it ends up being a parent activity :-)

I have the boy version of the baby Stella, and he gets played with a lot.

DD got a Corolle doll for her 2nd birthday and she loves it.

My little girls have this one and love it. She's really soft and washes up great:

We had several corolla dolls when DD was small. She like the bigger one, but there are smaller ones too.

We have both a doll like this & a Bitty Baby that were popular with my girls.  They were not as big of fans of the all plush ones.

Thanks guys. My niece will be about 18-19 months old at Xmas.

My daughter isn't a huge fan of the all plush ones. She doesn't really play with her Baby Stella doll. She likes her water baby and her (super creepy) baby cinderella. We just got her a Bitty Baby for her birthday.

I bought this Corolle doll for my girls for Christmas- I was able to get an awesome deal at ruelala: www.amazon.com/Corolle-Premier-Bebe-Bath-Girl/dp/B00AGI2U3G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383795416&sr=8-1&keywords=corolle+bath.

I love that you can buy multiple outfits.

The girls also have these dolls from Corolle, but I don't think it would be quite as exciting for an 18 month old: www.amazon.com/Corolle-Babicorolle-Babipouce-Grenadine-Doll/dp/B000I668LQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383795512&sr=8-1&keywords=corolle+babi

DD has a Babicorolle doll but prefers her all plush ones right now. Seems like she's the odd one here!
