Barbie Reviews

First, the Volvo wagon is supposed to be scaled for the Midge series of Barbie dolls, slightly smaller than regular Barbie.
Another annoyance, it comes with a little pink roll-on suitcase full of microscopic Fisher-Price replica toys that have nothing to do with the Volvo. I put all the tiny pieces together in the suitcase for my granddaughter and the suitcase wouldn't close. I looked on the box illustrations, and sure enough, they show a suitcase NOT CLOSED. How could they design such a silly bunch of add-ons? I just got rid of all that teeny-tiny stuff that doesn't relate to the inherent play value of the car. Any kid would prefer to put her/his own stuff into a little suitcase than this mishmash of silly product promo from Fisher-Price. Would have been nice to have a choice of colors, even approximately the REAL colors that the Volvo wagon comes in. I just wanted my granddaughter to be able to play-like with Grandma's white Volvo wagon. How hard should that be? Overall, I'm disappointed with this toy. For 28$, shipping included, I expected a better toy. Not worth the money.

My daughter likes to push the car around, but she's four. The doors don't open, making it a little diificult to get the Barbies in the seats, It's also difficult to fasten the seat belts. There are two car seats in the back seat. One is removable and makes sounds. Since there are no doors, using the stationary seat is also difficult. However, it does seem to be very durable.

My daughter received this as a gift to go along with her Happy Family dolls. It is really hard to get the dolls into the car. Plus the doors do not open so you have to jam them through the sunroof. The booster seat is really hard to put Ryan in. I am not sure why Fisher-Price made such a hard car for these dolls. I mean, if an adult has a hard time putting the dolls in, then for a kid it is impossible!

I bought 2 of these toys for my daughters for Christmas, but they showed very little interest in them. It's now May, and they have barely played with them at all. Apart from the fact that the palace isn't really big enough for a full-sized barbie, it's also very flimsy.

Seems like a bargain, but it's not. Too bad!

The African American Barbie and Krissy is very cute. I think it is a beautiful set for little girls from about 3 years of age and up. The price Amazon has it for [...] is extremely wonderful. It comes with a Barbie size doll and a small baby, the palace has music. It also comes with a stroller and 7 tiny accessories for the little baby. The dolls clothes match and it has glitter, a very nice toy.

The Barbie Grand Piano was the only gift my daughter asked for for Christmas from Santa. On christmas eve, when we put the toy together, one of the legs immediately broke off. We attempted to fix the leg so that my daughter would at least be able to play the piano on christmas morning, but it only lasted about two hours after she sat down at it. She was very dissapointed that Santa had sent her a broken piano, and then when we tried to exchange it at the store, there were none available, and still aren't, almost a month later...
Needless to say, santa is not exactly top on my daughter's list right now!

my 5 year old cousin recieved this for chistmas and so far it has proved quite sturdy Iam14 and i am currently71 pound and this "flimsy" piano has not even wobbled, hmmm i wonder why?

My daughter received this toy as a gift for her 3rd birthday and she loves it! She plays with it everyday. I have a one year-old son who likes to try to play with it too. He pushes it around the house and it has stood up to his "bullying" and has stayed sturdy. Seems to me this toy will stay around for a long time! I think it's absolultely wonderful!

My 6 year old daughter loves Barbie so it was inevitable that we would have to add this carriage to her collection. She really enjoys it and so far it has satisfed my expectations.
