A BABY DOLL CARRIER THAT SERVES UP A ROYAL RIDE
Kids form strong attachments to their dolls and stuffed toys; so it's no wonder that they like to take them wherever they go. And because kids like to imitate their parents it is also no surprise that children enjoy toting their favorite inanimate friends around in the same fashion moms take babies. That is why the baby doll carrier is such a beloved accessory for doll lovers.
The popularity of - and market for - the baby doll carrier might not be limited to children, either. Not long ago, while in graduate school, the professor asked how many in our early childhood development class still kept a favorite doll or stuffed animal. To my amazement and that of the other males in the class, virtually every woman raised her hand. Even more surprising, several women laughingly produced their small friends for everyone to see. More than one, I just then noticed, had with her a baby doll carrier.
Today there are several popular baby doll carrier models available. But the Princess Alexa Baby Doll carrier offered by Mattel is so elaborate as to make even a ten-year old blush, much less a grad student.
Product literature for her Royal Highess Princess Alexa is meant to appeal directly to little girls' desire to play grown-up. The promotional copy includes the claim that "Princess Alexa dolls can ride like royalty in this beautiful cloth baby carrier, modeled on the kind real mommies use.
And if that doesn't sell your little girl, it goes on to tout the baby doll carrier's sturdy stitching, adjustable straps, and satin-like material that is "shimmering pink" on the inside and "silky blue" on the exterior. But it doesn't stop there!
This regal baby doll carrier comes replete with "tiny prancing unicorns, floating crowns, and twinkling stars." But wait! Theres more! This not so "simple" baby doll carrier, features a pink bejeweled pacifier that actually lights up when the princess wears her crown. For good measure, Mattel throws in "a hair comb for the little queen."
I guess Mattel decided that all that retched excess was too much even for a princess. Because by the end of their description of Alexas baby doll carrier, the good Princess seems to have been promoted; now shes a queen.
The carrier even comes with a jeweled pink pacifier that lights up when Alexa is wearing her crown, as well as a hair comb for the little queen

Editorial Review
Princess Alexa dolls can ride like royalty in this beautiful cloth baby carrier, modeled on the kind real mommies use. Sturdily sewn from satiny fabric, the carrier snugly holds the doll on a busy little girls front or back so she can take her wherever she goes. A soft, shimmering pink on the interior and trim, the carrier has a silky blue outside with tiny prancing unicorns, floating crowns, and twinkling stars. A cushiony border gives it shape, and the adjustable pink webbing straps make it suitable for girls ranging from 3 to 6 years old. The carrier even comes with a jeweled pink pacifier that lights up when Alexa is wearing her crown, as well as a hair comb for the little queen. Emily Bedard
Nice Carrier for Princess Alexa, December 27, 2005
Reviewer: Julie L. "devoted mom & educator" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a nice carrier for the Princess Alexa doll. It is designed well, so the straps actually hold her in (unlike others Ive seen, where the doll tends to fall out head first!). My daughter LOVES giving her doll the light-up binky the only draw-back is that it is attached to the carrier with a long ribbon! (I may cut the ribbon and tie a cute hair clip on the end, so we can have the binky unattached, or attach it to the carrier with the clip when we want to havent decided yet!) The comb for the child is cute and sturdy plastic. This is a cute accessory set. I love the whole Princess Alexa line!
Graco Travel System: Stroller, Travel Seat and Car Seat in Princeton Print
Just get a plain stroller, no carrier/carseat., December 23, 2003
Reviewer: Anonymous
I bought this for my daughter, 3 years old. She absolutely loves to play with it. We havent had any problems with the actual stroller but the car seat/carrier didnt take long to break. The knobs on the handle broke off so when she tries to carry her doll in the carrier, the handle wont stay up and her doll flips out. It would have been better to just get a stroller without the carseat/carrier. I am now looking for my niece and plan on getting just a stroller

I am 12 years old and still love baby dolls.I was on this website looking for a baby doll.I instantly just fell in love with this one! I looked at all the others to try and change my mind but I just couldnt,I had to have this baby doll and no other! About three days ago,I finely got her.When I pulled her out of the box my eyes got bigger than saucers and my jaw dropped. She was the baby doll of my dreams! She looks and feels so real.The day I got her we stopped to get something to eat at Wendys and the girl who was taking our order looked over and said Such a cute baby! Once she got another glance at her she finely relized that it was a baby doll.She was histarical.She could not get over how real it looked and neither could I.Also I love the carrier it comes with too.It is so cute and is of very good quilety.I definetly reccomend THIS baby doll to every little girl who is looking for a baby doll! It is the best baby doll on the planet!

I love this doll!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 25, 2001
Reviewer: A Kid
I bought this doll myself from Amazon and I honestly think that she is among the best Ive ever gotten. She is very durable and i can take her almost anywhere thanks to her sling and baby carrier. I have had her almost a year now and funnily enough she has not lost her smell, it is still lovely and as strong as when I got her. I now want to collect Rita Raspberry to keep her company! Read more

Poorly designed doll very dissapointing, September 27, 1999
Reviewer: Anonymous
The tv adds are great but the doll was not great for my 3 year old the hat is too small for the doll and does not stay on. There is no hole in the mouth for the binky or the bottle the carrier is too complex for a small child. The straps are so short it is like a choking necklace on my child nothing like the add on TV . It has been sitting on the floor of her room since we got it. Very dissapointing. I wish I could get my money back. Read more
Rock A Bye Chou Chou Doll
The Best Baby Doll!!!, December 17, 2001
Reviewer: Anonymous
We bought this Rock A Bye baby for our daughters 4th Birthday, after receiving a Zapf Chou Chou for X-mas last year. We all loved that baby and knew this baby would be just as fun! They truly are the best made baby dolls weve ever bought (we have over 30). We also bought the Baby Born for Santa to leave The clothes and accesories are also very well made, we use our daughters old new born clothes which makes it real exciting for her to share with her Baby. This doll is not annoying at all, several friends are now looking for these babys after seeing and playing with ours. The baby carrier really makes it fun to take the baby everywhere it also locks into the car seat belt next to our daughter. We have bought other real life type dolls and this one is deffinately the easiest to grow attatched to! Soft, cute and cuddly!

I'm sorry this bike has no photo because it is really a great bike. We have had it about a year now and my daughter has really enjoyed it. The training wheels give the bike a lot of stability and my daughter loves the doll carrier that is mounted on the back. Now she is needing a bigger bike, so we are hoping to transfer the doll carrier to the next size! Great bike! Read more
Baby Annabell Play Doll
Wonderful doll for soon-to-be Big Brothers or Sisters! Could use better outfits. , August 18, 2005

the Baby Annabell Doll Carrier which lets your child wear the doll on their front or back (Dr. Sears would approve, I believe!) and my son has requested to be the Daddy for several days now with Baby Annabell strapped to his front. (So darn cute!)
