American Girl

Yay or nay if you think this is a good idea: DD is turning 3 next month and is doll obsessed. Was thinking of taking her to AG to get an itty bitty baby and to the restaurant for lunch. Is she too young? Other ideas for a little girl that loves love loves baby dolls?

Not too young / my dd got one for her 3rd bday & loved it. It was easy for the next holiday after that to add a few accessories

Not too young at all. DD got one at around 2.5 and we all had lunch at the AG cafe in New York.

She still loves that doll. And it’s really a beautiful doll.

Perfect age.

Those dolls are designed for consumer suckers, stay away.

Mine got her AG doll at 3, as a bribe to potty train. Best $105 I ever spent. She is 10 now and still plays with it.

Totally cute. Would much rather give Americans Girl my money than any plastic, disposable nonsense you can find at target.

Nova toys has more beautiful dolls.

Perfect age for a Bitty baby. DD is 4, received hers from her grandmother at 1.5, and has gotten outfits and accessories for her as Christmas/birthday/flower girl presents over the last couple years.

She loves playing at the store, especially the kitchen, so I think it's a great birthday treat for her age.

Boo to you. I received my AG doll when I was 5 years old and I still have her (Molly). She's in a lovely trunk my dad painted for her with all of her stuff. She was a special toy, and I would receive a new outfit for her each year at Christmas.

Yes, I loved American Girl everything as a kid. The accessories are an easy gift for future events.

Bitty babies are perfect for that age. DS and all our DDs got them around that age and they were favorites until they outgrew dolls.

I thought my DD would enjoy Bitty Baby, but she really preferred the smaller Corolle baby dolls that she had.

As opposed to all of the other, non-consumer dolls and toys?

AG has built a brand that has been appreciated across generations. Sure you can go a little over the top buying their stuff but no more-so than a lot of other consumer brands. Take a chill pill.
