Overview
Overview
The dolls were marketed as a way to get children to adjust to having a young baby in the house. The dolls were gender neutral, unlike the later Bitty Baby; it was expected that the doll could be a younger boy or girl. Baby dolls at 15 in are shorter than the normal American Girl dolls which are 18 in tall.
