This Bitty Baby doll is a very loveable doll. I give her an A. She is huggable and soft, with just enough pose potential in her head turn and ability to sit up against something. Her sleeper is lightweight fabric but nice for a little girl. Bitty bear is a big plus, making her more lifelike by giving her a toy of her own. She looks very sweet sleeping.
I give this Bitty an A, not with a "+", because she does have a few downsides. One is, as has been mentioned, the scuffing of her head. This is a picture of our first Bitty's head after one week of play with a 4 year old.
The other issue we've had is with their eyes. After a few days, our first doll stopped opening one eye all the way. CS suggested holding the eye open and blowing into it, but that only helped temporarily.
They sent a doll to exchange, and the first few times I sat her up this is what she did:
This time blowing into the eye relieved the problem. I presume this is not a problem with only this variety of Bitty. The CS rep said this happens from having their eyelashes trimmed and debris falling into the eye. Despite these problems I think she's a great doll. Realistic, but not scary realistic. Also, our second doll had slightly more subtle coloring. Comparing them side by side I realized the one with less coloring in the face looked more like a baby. Overall, this is a very nice baby doll for a little girl!
