Love, love, love the Corolle doll I bought for DD a couple of months ago. There are several to choose from - http://www.corolledolls.com/corolle_catalog/product_cat.php/subid=128/index.html

We also love the Corolle dolls. Kidsurplus has a good selection with decent prices. We got a Calin for DD's first birthday, but there is also the Babicorolle Doll.

Okay, you might laugh, but one of Kaya's favorite dolls is a $2.99 (or was it $1.99?) doll I got from our local toystore. It has a cloth body, vinyl legs/feet and arms/hands and head, it has one outfit (there was a girl and boy version and she wanted the boy version who had a hat and purple romper) and it's about 5-6" tall. She loves carrying it around and it's great for travel. We also have the Corelle Tidoo doll and a $3 doll I got from a secondhand place (almost new) and a Baby Bottom Doll, but guess what? She likes the ones with vinyl faces a lot more and that little one still gets as much playing time as the others. Unfortunately, we have lost the hat...

We got DD a Corolle Calin when she was about 1 1/2 and it it still her favorite doll at age 3.

The Calin is the most talked about first baby doll here. There are many threads. ;)

So funny to see this post..we were just looking for a doll for DD's birthday, but decided to wait until Christmas since she isn't really into dolls yet. I think that shipping would have been $5 for us.

Well, I went "all-out" and ordered Carrie a Corolle Tidoo for her first birthday. I think it's a very beautiful baby doll, and DD likes it, but her absolute favorite dolls are the Fisher Price Little Mommy twins I found at K-Mart on sale for $11. That'll teach me!
Also, if I were to do it again and still get a Corolle, I'd probably get one of the Calin dolls. The Tidoo is meant to be a bath doll and it has a lot less stuffing - Carrie gets really frustrated with the fact that the doll won't sit upright. Not that the others really do either, but they at least appear to make the effort. ;)
Good luck!
Sarah :)

Don't know how old the child is, but I just got my Mia ( 8 mo) the Corolle doll called Pink Elf and I am sooooo happy with it. It is a great size for her hands and has a hat, scarf, and flower that she likes to chew on/finger. And she seems to really like her face. And of course the tags...that's the best part of any toy for Mia these days.
HTH,
Gina
ps. Oh and it makes a little jingle and smells like vanilla!
