In Russia, a baby bon doll costs on average from 2 to 6.5 thousand rubles... Usually, the price of a doll depends little on the location or a particular store, although, of course, promotions and sales do happen. The cost directly depends on the functionality of the doll, on its composition, size and even popularity.

In the nineties, Zapf Creation began supplying dolls with a unique set of features, which revolutionized this segment of the market. Many little girls, and not very little ones, immediately wanted such a "child" for themselves. Forums for needlework were full of knitting patterns and patterns for baby born clothes. True, there have been failures with dolls, but the company is working on this and the shortcomings are slowly being removed, taking into account user feedback.

Dolls from 2.5 to 4 thousand

Smaller dolls, about 30 cm, with a soft body, weigh less than their older comrades. They have fewer features. These dolls are suitable for younger girls. Often such dolls can only sing a lullaby, or sleep. The series is called my little baby bon. There are dolls and they are cheaper than 2.5 thousand, mostly they are supplied by shares, or these are outdated models.

Previously, these dolls had a significant drawback, in order for the doll to poop, it was necessary to press it strongly into the pot. The Internet was full of outraged parents and complaints of constipation in dolls. Now manufacturers have already solved this problem and the doll pees when pressed once on the navel and poops when pressed twice.

Dolls from 5.5 to 6.5 thousand

This is how much the Baby Annabelle dolls, which are produced by the same company, cost. In general, from this series only dolls with a length of 46 cm cost so much. Such a doll weighs no less than 7 kg, so it is not suitable for very little girls. This doll is soft and cannot be bathed.

Interesting information about the Baby Born brand. Reference data on the Baby Bon trademark.

Baby born dolls are produced by the German company Zapf Creation, whose main offices are located in Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Hong Kong (the company was founded in 1932). These "living toys" are very similar to real babies. Despite the fact that the bobblehead itself is quite expensive, its popularity is steadily growing all over the world. This is due to the high quality and versatility of the toy. These dolls can eat, drink from a bottle, cry, make sounds, and send out their natural urges (pee and poop). Since most mechanical baby dolls do not have batteries inside, they can be bathed.

Types of Baby Born dolls

The first Baby Born models, created in 1991, had different human capabilities, but could not close their eyes. Over time, the Zapf Creation company, whose main production facilities are located in Germany and the Far East, began producing dolls with closing eyes. These dolls were distinguished by anatomical features, so it was easy to determine which of them was a boy and who was a girl.
Modern models of baby dolls Baby born are implemented in gift wrapping with a set of different accessories and instructions. Most of the "older models" are 43 cm in height, but very tiny "babies" are 32 cm. In addition to mechanical dolls, there are also battery-powered baby dolls on sale (3 AAA LR03 batteries are not included in the package). They cannot be immersed in water at all, but can only be wiped off with a damp towel or napkins.

Functions of Baby Born dolls

Today, Baby Born dolls have 9 different functions:
1. They can close their eyes while "sleeping". To do this, a nipple-magnet is attached to the baby doll, with the help of which the eyes are closed. This nipple glows in the dark. The kit also includes a regular teat.
1. They can be bathed. At the same time, the design of the baby doll minimizes the possibility of water getting into the toy. If, nevertheless, this happened, there is a special device on the back of the doll, when turned, water flows out of it.
3. Bobbleheads can be drunk with clean water. To do this, insert the nose of the bottle into the doll's mouth, after which the drinking valve comes off. When you press the bottle, the baby doll begins to drink water. The doll should be fed only in an upright or slightly inclined position, since in a different position the water is immediately poured into the baby doll's diaper.
4. Dolls can eat. For feeding the baby doll there are special bags with "porridge" and a convenient plate with a spoon. Water is poured into a plate to the specified mark, the "gruel" is poured and stirred until the lumps are removed. The doll is spoon-fed only in the supine position.
5. Dolls can cry. To do this, just press on the right hand of the baby doll. The toy "cries" only when it has been "drunk" beforehand.
6. The toy can laugh. When you press the left hand, the doll begins to "laugh" (squeak).
7. The doll's arms and legs move, and it can also sit. The high quality rubber and plastic from which these dolls are made make their movements and postures very believable. For these toys, falls are not terrible, since the material from which they are made is very durable.
8 and 9. Bobbleheads can "write" and "poop". To do this, the doll is seated on a special pot that comes with it, and it is pressed down so that its legs are clamped by the pot.

Accessories for dolls

Different models of Baby born dolls are completed with numerous accessories: clothes (various sets depending on the type of model); a plate for cooking porridge; pacifier; a spoon; bottle; diapers; bottle stopper; pot; a bracelet; pendant; birth certificate.

The main disadvantages of Baby Born dolls

When using the "pee and poop" option, small children sometimes cannot push the doll hard enough for the emptying process to take place. That is why often only adults can fulfill this function. If the child is left alone, it is better to use diapers when playing with the baby doll.
After feeding, the doll must be washed with soapy water. If the doll is not cleaned in a timely manner, it can quickly deteriorate.
Despite the high quality of the material from which these dolls are made, children sometimes manage to break off their limbs, after which the toy becomes unusable (there are no spare parts for it on sale).
The doll is a bit heavy for small children.
The cost of both the doll and its accessories is quite high.

Toy for children aged 1 year and older

Manufacturer: China

Surprisingly, more than 20 years have passed since the moment when a wonderful toy appeared on the market that instantly won the hearts of all girls aged from three years and indefinitely - Baby Bon Doll. Today Baby Bon is experiencing another surge of popular love. The popularity of the toy, as is often the case, provoked the emergence a large number counterfeits, mainly made in China.

The toy does not belong to the category of cheap ones, so many parents who want to make their daughters happy are seriously concerned about how to distinguish a real Baby Born from a fake.
If you look at the problem a little more broadly, you cannot fail to notice that on the market you can find both fakes for a well-known toy, and so-called analogs. If in the first case, manufacturers purposefully seek to ensure that a person makes a purchase by confusing their products with the products of a popular brand, then in the second case the differences are more obvious, and analogue manufacturers do not hide that they offer a cheaper product with a smaller set of functions. In this article, we will analyze exactly how to distinguish an original baby born from a fake.

Package

The first thing that the buyer sees and has the opportunity to freely explore it in the store is the packaging. How to distinguish a baby bourne from a counterfeit by packaging? Pay attention to its design. The original packaging is usually pink. Used dense high quality cardboard. The transparent plastic insert is well glued. The images printed on the box are clear.

Read the labels on the box. It is possible to identify a fake by a simple technique of many dishonest manufacturers who want to make money at the expense of someone else's popularity. They try to make a very similar package, but slightly change the name of the product - swap letters in words or replace a word in a complex name. In the case of a baby bon, the box may have the inscription “Baby Doll” or “Baby love”. There are other options as well.

It is known that only one enterprise in the world produces the popular doll. It is called Zapf Creation AG. Find this name on the box. Usually scammers try not to place other people's names, logos or symbols on fakes. The company is located in Germany, and only she has been producing baby bon dolls since 1991. Since then, the doll has been repeatedly changed and complicated. By the way, such zeal of the manufacturer, modifying its products almost every year, sometimes misleads buyers.

Do not forget about the good old methods of identifying poor quality goods. Open the box slightly and sniff. Counterfeits often use substandard materials with a pungent synthetic odor. It is also known that the packaging of the original baby boom contains instructions for the doll and a special card with an individual code for accessing the site. With its help, little customers get the opportunity to play computer games on the site.

Accessories

Baby Bon is famous for the abundance of accessories. They are also in the very first set purchased with the doll. They can also be purchased separately. The starter kit includes a special powder for making porridge. If you feed a doll with this porridge, it will empty. Only for this, the doll must be placed on the pot in a special way and firmly squeezed on the navel button. According to consumer reviews, the function on original models does not always work properly. After feeding, the doll's internal system needs to be rinsed. The set also contains: a plate and a spoon for porridge, a bottle, a dummy (on the original dummy, the handle always moves and there is an inscription "Baby born"), a pot, diapers (there are always two of them in the original set).

Fakes may lack some of the accessories - scammers save on everything. It is also noticed that in the lowest quality fakes, the pot may not match the size of the doll. In addition, the clothes may not come off well or may not have normal fasteners. Original clothes always bear the inscription "Baby born". Of the most common defects in fakes, it is called the fact that water leaks from the bottle during feeding.

The doll itself

And finally, how to distinguish the original Baby born from a fake by examining the doll itself. According to the official website, modern doll baby bon has nine functions:

• closes and opens eyes (for fakes they are often simply drawn);
• cries with tears;
• drinks from a bottle;
• eating porridge;
• pees in the diaper when lying down;
• pissing in a pot;
• poops in a pot;
• bathes;
• if you put it down, it moves its head, arms and legs.

A rare counterfeit has the full range of these features. Buyers who had the opportunity to compare the original baby bonds and the fake, also noted the following:

1. a real doll is heavy;
2. the original baby bon doll on the back, closer to the neck, clearly shows a convex serial number made in a factory;
3. the navel of the original is made in the form of a function button, and not cast in a mold;
4. real toy moves limbs without batteries, just turn and tilt the doll.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is better to study the official website of the manufacturer - http://www.zapf-creation.com and the website of the baby bond - http://www.baby-born.com before buying. Despite the fact that these are ordinary business card sites (without the function of an online store) and there is no localization on them, they quite fully reflect appearance the doll itself and the accessories offered.

And, of course, keep in mind that usually there are no miracles and the original toy will not be sold to you on the market for half the price. It is better to look for quality goods in reputable stores specializing in goods for children, who value their reputation and carefully check suppliers. Be wary of the offers posted on the Internet.
