Doll tote

[1agluvr4evr]

Well, I'm not thrilled w/ it at all. The color & the quality of it is great, but I didn't expect it to be to flimsy.....I thought that where the dolls sit, it'd be sturdier, to help support the dolls.
Also, if you put two dolls in, it's kinda hard. They REALLY have to squeeze in....
You also need 2 dolls in the tote, to help even out the weight, or else the side your doll is in, will go at the side cause of all the weight. & it's not distributed evenly.
I'll get the pics up soon.. my imagestation thing is acting up on me....

I love this carrier and my Rhianna(AGT#2) loves it too! she goes everywhere in it!

[pinkypo67]

i have this carrier but it is hard to put 2 dolls

[iluvkmec]

I love it! It is a little hard to fit two dolls, though...

[MiaFan]

It takes FOREVER to fit two dolls in it! I returned it, I only bought it for two dolls to sit in. It defies the purpose of the bag.

I like it for one doll but it is hard for two dolls, especially for a young child trying to "pack" it.

I just got this in the mail, and it seems really hard to get two dolls in there. It only works if you put on doll on top of the other.

I couldn't find the tote in the reviews board, so I was wondering if anyone else has the tote and knows any sort of "trick" to fit the dolls better.

Only put one doll?
Where does it say it's a 2 doll tote anyway? I thought it was meant for just one.

We have this tote as well. When we were at AG they did tell us it is designed as a two girl tote.
I must admit is is cramped, but this is how we do it. Place the girls facing each other. One girl seems to fit inside the others legs. As long as you do up the strap, you should not have any problem with anyone falling out. I find if you only use one girl in the tote, it becomes awkward to carry, as the weight of the girl pulls the one side down......does that make sense? hard to explain.

DD has this. Put the doll with the "tightest" limbs on the bottom because she is more likely to straighten out. Then put a doll with looser limbs on top of her because she is more likely to get into a sitting position. Then be sure to strap them in. It takes a wee bit of effort, but neither doll will fall out.

My daughter has this as well. We also have found if you put only one doll in the tote doesn't work very well.

Not to mention, the storage pocket underneath makes it hard to get the tote to stand when you have the dolls in it (especially if there are items in there)

We too discovered that you have to fit the legs inside and tuck the arms before you snap the strap. Overall, I am not impressed with it and it frustrates the heck out of my daughter when she goes to use it.

We have resorted to a beach tote that we bought at Target last summer. We don't have to worry about the dolls falling out/getting dirty and there is plenty of room for everything.

I'm glad to come across this thread as I was planning to buy 2 of these (one for each of my DDs). I think I will be searching for something else.

It says it right in the description.

For double the fun, choose this nylon tote to carry two dolls along. It features a star-print pattern and an embroidered American Girl logo. Bottom zipper compartment and interior zipper pouch are perfect for holding extra outfits, shoes, and more. Nylon. Imported. Blue/Silver. W: 17" x H: 12 1/2"

I actually splurged and bought the one from AGP because I couldn't stand the blue and silver pattern on the standard one.

I think I will be using it enough to make it worth it, though. I have to carry two dolls and a buttload of clothes with me once a week, and the tote is good enough to use that often. The storage compartment, although it may have drawbacks, is really roomy and seems awfully handy. But for everyday use, I don't think I'd recommend it. I'm not wild about the price tag either.

Although it is cute, we find it to be too small for two dolls, and like mentioned above, it is unsteady to carry with one doll. My daughter does not like how messed up her doll's hair gets, since they are not protected when carried in it. She just uses it when she goes to a friend's house and wants to bring some clothing and accessories with her. I would rate it a "C-."

[okstateprincess11]

I have this tote and the only way I could get erin and rhianna in it was to have erin on the bottom of the bag and to put rhianna on top and have erin in between rhianna's legs. it was a tight squeeze but it worked

My Daughter is able to get 2 dolls to fit, but they don't look very comfortable. Much better as a 1 doll + accessories carrier. The quality isn't great - too flimsy.

[cryssis4]

I brought mine on eBay and yeah, I had difficulties getting two dolls to fit. I personally like it though.

[American Girl Rescue]

We have two of these (different colors) and we use them all the time. We can get two dolls in them easily.

American Girl has provided instructions on their site for how to get two dolls in the tote:

I have this. I find that it is extremely useful for when I want to take my doll somewhere.

I took this picture awhile back. Only put one doll in. Don't like this that much, but needed the $10 to get the PWP.
