by American Girl?
My triplets are 3, and their friend has a bitty baby and they’re all in love. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to give them that as a Christmas gift, but I’d have to buy three and they don’t come cheap. Would you:
- buy one bitty baby and one set of bitty twins (saving a little bit of money)
- try and scope them out on eBay?
- not buy them at all?
- or avoid potential breakdowns and order them from AG?
I had never heard of these dolls, so I checked the website. They’re really charming. They remind me of the dolls I had when I was a child. They were French ones made by Corolle (http://www.corolle.com/). They still make some good ones, but unfortunately I haven’t seen any as beautiful as the two I had back then.
Your dolls may be expensive, but a beautiful doll like that is kept forever. I still have my Corolle dolls and I’m 24 now. I actually remember when I got the last one at Christmas. She was so beautiful, I couldn’t believe it.
Would you get your three year olds a "bitty baby"?

They are great dolls but yes, expensive. I still have my American Girl dolls from my childhood and they are in great condition but, it was because I was given them when I was older. Still, what good is a doll if you don’t get to play with it:)

My oldest (now 10) got a bitty baby when she was 2, from my sister when my youngest was born and has taken good care of it. My youngest (now
has the bitty twins as well. They are wonderful dolls with adorably made clothes etc. But I would opt for cheaper dolls at their age. Fisher Price makes little mommy dolls that are just as cute and range from $19.00 to $30.00 and my girls have played with those dolls just as much. Considering you have to do it times three I would go for the Fisher Price. They have twins too. And then when they are older get them the American Girl dolls. My daughter got the bitty twins from Santa last year, they are beautiful dolls but quite expensive.

They’re 3. They most likely can’t tell the difference between used and new. I’d buy some from ebay and save the cash. I would buy one doll for each girl, not one for them to share.
Wow. I just checked out the website. I have boys so had no reason to look at American Girl dolls. I can’t believe a babydoll costs $42. Personally, I’d go to walmart and buy a babydoll with a whole slew of outfits for $10. Maybe I’m just cheap though.

Buy each of them their own.
