Fisher-Price Dora's Let's Get Ready Vanity

My daughter went berzerk when she saw it. Almost a year later now and she is still playing with it.

This vanity is a really good gift for those little girls who like to primp and curl and braid they're dolls hair. My husband and I bought this as a birthday for our 5 year old twin neices birthday and even they're 10 year old cousin loved playing with Dora's hair. It comes with all the toy accessories to make Dora look pretty and the girls enjoyed trying the accessories on themselves as well. Definately well worth the money.

The bright colors and molded plastic construction of this toy make it a good fit for the targeted age group. Assembly was fairly straight forward. My only complaints are that Dora's hair pulls out if you have to try to comb tangles out of it, and the electronics in the card reader are temperamental. If you don't mind Dora going bald like your three year old's Barbie, and you don't use the card reader (we really don't), it's not a big deal. All things considered, I would buy one again. My little one is getting a lot of play time out of it.

My two year old granddaughter received this for her birthday, and loved it, so I purchased it for my three year old granddaughter for Christmas. I am sure she will love it, as she loves Dora, and loves to brush her dolls hair.

I agree this toy is great from the size, to the accessories, and even Dora's head... My problem is that the hair is a MESS! Am I the only one seeing this? My 5 y/o got this for Xmas and as of now (May) she barely plays with Dora b/c you cannot do anything with her hair. I've read on-line how to fix the hair but it's not working (detangle shampoo, Downy, wig brush only (this is key I think - that's the only kind of brush you are supposed to use with the American Girl dolls)... I'm contacting FP on Monday to see if I can get a new head for her.... Any other suggestions??
