Felicity’s Baby Sister Polly
B – From Adult
A – From Child
This set comes with a dressed baby Polly doll, cradle mattress, blanket and trading cards. It’s a fairly nice set. While not worth $48, it’s well worth the sale price.
Felicity’s baby sister Polly has a lot of play value. She can be a baby sister for the 18” American Girl dolls or a mini Bitty Baby. Baby sister Polly is constructed like Bitty Baby. She has a cloth body and vinyl limbs that can’t be posed, and painted hair. She even has tiny neck-strings. However, unlike Bitty, baby Polly doesn’t have sleep eyes. In my opinion, her painted eyes are a little creepy.
While baby Polly is nicely made, she isn’t that much nicer than baby dolls from Wal-Mart, Shopko, Target, etc.
Baby Polly’s clothes are fairly nicely made and consist of a satin-like gown and bonnet. It has non-snagging Velcro on the back and is removable. My daughter was concerned that Polly was diaper-less, but that’s easily remedied. It would have been nice if the baby had a less dressy gown or shift to wear in addition to her baptism gown.
The cradle is made of a light wood and has a dark stain. The concept is cute, but the design was poorly executed. Baby Polly barely fits in her cradle. Her legs/feet don’t want to stay in. The proportion of the cradle to Polly, Felicity, and Felicity’s collection is also quite unrealistic.
The mattress is a fairly typical American Girl mattress and fits nicely in the cradle. The blanket is just a hemmed piece of cloth and is not impressive. They could have used something a little more substantial.
I do wish that baby Polly came with a bottle, toy, or other baby things. Felicity does look sweet entertaining Polly with the Jumping Jack or protecting her face with the fire screen from the winter enchantments set.
