Baby doll recs for 18 month old?

Asha started showing an interest in her friend's baby doll. I want to get Asha one and needs some recs. Easy clean is a must - like either machine wash or a hard/soft plastic doll that can be immersed in water. She seems to like the open/close eyes. I like the corolle mon premier dolls (tidoo or calin i think?) or maybe the melissa and doug jenna baby doll. I'm torn between a hard plastic or a more realistic baby at this stage. Also, Asha is biracial with olive skin and dark hair/eyes. Almost all the baby dolls I find are blue eyed with an occasional east asian or african american doll. Any suggestions for dolls that have similar features to my girl? (not a must but would be nice)

  • Have you seen Bitty Baby from American Girl?  My daughter got this as a gift at a baby shower and I got it out at about a year.  It is by far her favorite toy.  She takes the doll to her chair and "reads" to her.  For Christmas I told my mom to get her a baby doll stroller.  She thought she'd be too young but again, Aly loves it.  She pushes her doll all over the place. 

    The Bitty Baby doll has eyes that open/close and you can get it in many different ethnicities (sp?). I'm not sure about how washable it is but I know the clothes come off to be washed and you can spot wash the doll itself.

    ditto this.  My bff's girl was 18 months at Christmas and I got her one.  It is Asian like her as well.  She loves it.

  • Ditto Bitty baby. MIL got K one Christmas 2010. We gave it to K when she was around 10 months old. She loves to play with the eyes. We have the Bitty Baby stroller which gets played with a lot but not so much for its intended purpose. K also has the diaper bag and backpack carrier for Bitty Baby. All awesome products.

  • I also recommend the Bitty baby dolls.  My older daughter received one when she was around 18 months and has absolutely adored it.  She still plays / cares for her and the accessories AG sells allows for lots of gift ideas from grandparents, aunts for holidays/birthdays/etc.  Over the holidays, my daughter actually received a 2nd one.  Long story but she didn't want a "big girl" doll from AG....so, she went with her aunt to the store and picked out another baby instead.

  • I just got the Melissa and Doug Jenna doll for my soon to be 2 year old niece.  It was reasonably priced and I was able to get a few accessories to go with it.  I thought about a bitty baby but didn't want to spend that much on a baby for a 2 year old.  I'll likely get her that when she's 4 or 5.

    I've seen recommendations on here for Manhattan Baby Stella.  She looks really cute and I beleive is along the same price point as a Corolle doll.  But, I think she's all fabric so maybe not washable.
