Unlike many of the other 'learn to dress' toys, the individual components of this one are sturdy and well made. The buttons are oversized and are just the right size for little hands. Overall, this is great for teaching children about different types of clothing fastener.

I was looking for a doll with learn to dress features..and ran across this item. I ordered two, one for each two year old granddaughter. They are not quite old enough to perform all the tasks, but will learn. The colors are vivid, the girls love them. You need to know that every piece of clothing comes off....shoes, socks, even the shoe laces, in case you have a child who immediately takes all loose objects off!I bought this doll for my 2 year old Granddaughter for Christmas. She likes to buckle and unbuckle things so I thought this would be a good toy for her to learn how to button, snap and tie. After she opened it and began to play with it I realized that the buttonhole was too small for the button and the snaps were extremely hard to snap and unsnap. I was thoroughly disappointed in the quality of this toy. I thought it was supposed to help a child learn not frustrate the child! Would definately NOT recommend this toy!Like other reviewers have mentioned, the buttons are poorly attached one of ours came off the first day, within 30 minutes of play, and our little girl is very gentle with her toys. But what is a bigger issue, in my opinion, is the feet on this doll. The feet are not shaped like feet, they're just 'balls' on the end of the legs, and most importantly, they're soft. They're like round socks filled with stuffing. So getting the socks and shoes onto these 'feet' is a little difficult even for an adult, and practically impossible for a 3 year old. They feet should have been make of a hard material, like a plastic or some kind of stiff rubber, and they should have been shaped like actual feet. As it is, they are useless in helping a child learn to put on shoes and socks. Also, the zipper is cheap and a bit of a challenge to open and close. I find it quite disappointing, because this is a great idea for a learning toy, just very poorly executed.
