Doll to assist in PT

[cookiemonster80]

My DD is about to start PTing and is REALLY into dolls/babies. I'm thinking a potty doll would help us PT and have reserached the 2 main options-

Baby Alive

Corelle Emma

Neither of these based on reviews seem to be very consistent about holding the "wet" until you are ready for them to "go potty"- and half the time it seems like you can never get them to go.

Does anyone have any experience on these babies? Or know of other options? They are $$ for this purpose- but IF they work reliably, I'm totally willing to spend $$$$ bc I think it will really help- I just don't want to spend $50 on a doll that doesn't do what I need it to!

We didn't have any of the dolls you mentioned, but I did buy a little plastic doll potty (http://www.amazon.com/Corolle-Classiques-Doll-Accessories-Potty/dp/B0032JTJP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322832381&sr=8-1) for DD's Corolle doll. It's a small, cheap piece of plastic but it helped DD stay on her potty longer when her doll was also on the potty. Just thought I'd mention it if you decide not to spend the $$$ on a potty doll.
