The New Tenant
We were very exited to get this barbie doll. We were disappointed that she had no name, just a number. The first thing we did was change her clothing. That way she fit right in. She is the newest tenant at the dreamhouse. A nice welcome addition.

Pretty doll, needs undergarments!
Doll does not seem to represent Down Syndrome, but overall she is great. The problem is that she is not fully dressed. She comes with NO underwear, shorts, nothing to cover her private areas!

Fun Inclusive Playtime
Barbie Fashionistas Doll #229, Barbie Doll with Down Syndrome Wearing Heart-Print Dress, has the inclusive factor that we wanted! She looks pretty and confident. Her soft hair textures are great! Some of the nicer hair that we have seen on our dolls of color. Having toys that represent inclusiveness and diversity is important!

Cute doll
I loved the idea behind the dolls with handicaps however I do not think that this specific doll represented that. I also love that there are more and more dolls of all size, shape and color. It really shows the world all of everyone’s differences.

BARBIE
My Grand baby said she loved the doll but it was too special to play with. She keeps it out of the way. She won't let anyone play with it but she does it and says this doll is extra special so I have to give it extra love.

Barbie for change
This was a hard review for me to write. Not only did I want to be honest but I wanted to be respectful of those who benefit the most from a doll like this one. The doll and package are simple and easy to open. It only had 2 easy rubber bands to keep her legs and arms secure and 2 toes to cut for the head.

Great doll, well-made!
The doll was well-made. But working with Down Syndrome individuals, I can tell you that in order to be a bit more realistic, the mouth needs to be a little wider, and the nose a little more flat. I loved the glasses detail, and the colorful clothing.

Great inclusive doll
My child loves this Barbie doll. It's a doll with down syndrome but I'm not sure she actually noticed. She treats her like all her other dolls and has this doll do all the same things. It's great to see Barbie being more inclusive.

Wonderful doll
I am always amazed in how Mattel has so much inclusivity in the toys they produce. I always make sure that my kids are thought about different abilities and disabilities people have so they can be understanding. The National Down Syndrome Society Barbie is beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful to be than having a child have a doll that have similarities too them. T...

Love That She is Unique!
we LOVE our doll, and when I say we I mean my 3.5 and 6.5 year olds. This doll is a little shorter than the regular Barbie doll so it actually fits really well in the kids "purse" when we go out. All the normal Barbie clothes fit this doll, I was worried when it arrived but everything works the same.

Cute doll with detail and meaning!
It’s a great in the go toy my daughter brings along when we head out to sports games and I like that it has some accessories but not a bunch of tiny pieces we have to worry about losing! The outfit is cute and the doll itself was well designed.

Beautiful smiling Barbie w/well done braided hair
We received Barbie 229, labeled NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society). Right away my daughter was excited to see her new Barbie. This is her first Barbie ever and right away she said she loved how her Barbie had pink glasses and pink shoes (her favorite color). She loves her Barbie’s braids, they are so well braided individually. The braids don’t look like they’ll be ...

Daughter loves her new inclusive Barbie!
My little girl loves her new Barbie! This doll comes with a stylish blue dress, pink shoes, and pink glasses. The glasses are a little big, but stay on if tucked behind Barbie's hair. Legs and arms do not bend, but Barbie can sit.

Down syndrome doll
I enjoyed that the doll was different with Down syndrome. I appreciated the braids for a black doll. The glasses were snug and held securely in place. The dolls body shape was appropriate for the age.

The doll has the same color skin as her. She asked if the doll was her when I gave it to her. I told her if she wants to be a barbie doll then yes. She gave me the biggest smi...
