MGA Zapf Creation Baby Born, Mommy Look I Can Swim Doll

This doll was all I heard about for about 6 weeks before Christmas. What was curious though, it that Amazon frequently changed the price on this doll from $26-30. I happened to end up purchasing it a few weeks before Christmas, and paid more. The packaging is hellacious, took me 15 minutes to open, WITH scissors. The sunglasses fell apart within 5 minutes, and they don't like to stay on the doll. She does work well in the water, and can perch on the edge of the tub to supervise bath time.

We have gone through three of these and NONE of them have worked properly. I finally gave up and my daughter plays with her in the bath, but she doesn't work.

The item arrived ASAP. The package was in great condition. The product was a hit for Christmas with a six year old girl.

My three year old was dying to get this for months. She got it as a gift, and used it first in the bathtub, then at our local YMCA pool. The baby worked 3-4 times, then simply stopped. We inserted fresh Engergizer batteries, nothing. We called the 800 number, and was rudely told that putting the baby in chlorinated pool water voids the warranty.

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday after she saw a commercial and just had to have it. I read other reviews on this doll and thought "please dont leat us have the problems that others have had". So far so good. We have had her since April '08. She has been in the tube, in the pool,everywhere and we have had no problems. She starts to swim within a few seconds of being in the water and stop her swimming motion a few seconds after pulling her out and holding her in a straight up postion so the water can drain faster. I guess we were lucky enough to get a good one.shes alot of fun. Even my youngest son likes to play with her.
