Blind Barbie is for Older child
I got this doll for my granddaughter, who is 3 years old to try out. She loves baby dolls so I thought she would love this as the doll looks just like her. One afternoon I brought the doll out during playtime at her house. The doll is beautifully dressed and has shiny hair brown hair just like my granddaughter. At first my granddaughter seemed interested in the doll...

Favorite purchase-from a partially blind person
I love the Barbie’s that represent those with disabilities. Barbie is an iconic line with so much influence to girls and women all over the world. When I lost part of my vision I felt lost and alone. Seeing a Barbie doll with the same affliction makes me feel like there’s hope to bring awareness and representation to all🩷

Opening eyes to new window
The Barbie's front of box has braille on it. My little one started asking why and what was braille. This Barbie opened a series of questions. All good questions. Opened a new window of thinking and understanding. Good job Mattel!

Love the Inclusivity
This Barbie is very gorgeous and has a fashionable outfit. This is a great way to teach children about inclusion, diversity, and also about people with different abilities. This Barbie gave my daughter the opportunity to learn people who have vision loss or are blind. She learned about the benefits of a cane and sunglasses. This is her favorite Barbie at the moment, and...

Mommy is a Barbie too!
I nearly cried when I learned there was a Barbie with a white cane. I have retinitis pigmentosa and have lost the majority of my vision and need the assistance of a cane. I’m the only person with limited vision that my little girl knows. So imagine her surprise to learn that her mommy wasn’t the only blind person in the world (no matter how many times I tell her I am no...

Best Barbie Doll
Everything about the doll was good except for we couldn’t figure out how to keep her walking stick in her hand. She was trying to walk the doll but the walking stick kept falling off out of her hand .

Barbie with vision impaired
The doll was nicely dressed and shows a disability. Very good to expose children to people with handicaps. My child has added this to her collection of Barbie dolls and loves playing with her. She has had hours of enjoyment.

Why
She's blind and you put her in platform heels?? What are the comments below about 'inclusivity' about? Are there signs up in braille that say "no sight no service!" In businesses?! I don't think so. Being blind isn't some racial or political situation. If people need dolls to tell their kids what blindness is then..maybe parents need to take the time to teach kid's that...

Brunette Blond Barbie
I received this toy in return for an honest review. The packaging is attractive and has Braille text. The colors and design of the package is appealing. The Braille allows visually impaired individuals to know what is in the package. My only criticism of the packaging is, in order to released the doll, scissors are needed. This may present a challenge for adults with vi...

Realistic, Inclusive, Educational Barbie
It's nice to see a blind Barbie included in the collection. This doll was educational for our children from the Braille on the box to the cane included. Our daughters have included this Barbie into their play and even factored the blindness into their play (such and driving, etc).

Teach inclusion from a young age!
We were really excited to give this doll to our daughter and teach her about the importance of diversity and inclusion. She is a really pretty doll and our daughter enjoys playing with her along with her other Barbie dolls. Well done Barbie! 10/10

Wonderful addition to the Barbie Family!
This Barbie is visually impaired. There is information in the lower right corner of the plastic packaging that says ‘Barbie’ in contracted Braille. Barbie is wearing a light pink satin top and a purple ruffle skirt with metallic edges. She can identify both these items by touch. This is helpful whether her clothes are hanging in a closet or folded in a drawer. Barbie ha...

Pretty doll, kids love her
My kids like this doll. They are enjoying learning about blindness. It's neat that the box has braille on it. We did some research about the white canes. They like the color of her hair. I thought that the doll was nice, but the finish of the plastic on her legs is uneven.

Daughter loves the doll. Cute dress and accessories, sturdy materials, and well designed. It’s been all over the place with her (school, dentist, grandparents house, etc.). She has been my little girl’s favorite doll.

Pretty doll
My child really loved this doll. I think it was cool that the box had Braille on the outside. I like the inclusiveness of the doll. She has accessories such as a walking cane and glasses. My child says she is very pretty with the honey hair coloring, tanned skin and honey eyes. Her outfit has a very cute top, skirt and and shoes.
