How to distinguish a real Baby Born from a fake. Proper care is a must

Baby Born dolls are one of the most popular and best-selling toys in the world.

Since 1997, she has received many honors and titles at international competitions. She is rightfully considered the most successful toy for girls and the most functional doll.

Its main advantages are the high quality of the materials used, ease of use, functionality and extraordinary realism.

The only drawback of these cute baby dolls is the high cost. The price increases in direct proportion to the needs of the baby: he needs food, fresh diapers, new clothes depending on the season, additional accessories. Some models can be bathed in water, and for this you need to buy a bath. Well, there are many more things for comfort and proper care of the baby: a crib, a stroller, furniture, a potty and even a book.

Good buy but for less money

Modern manufacturers are learning to love and respect the interests of their consumers. Today, there are a huge number of baby dolls on the market for every taste and budget. An analogue of Baby Bon was also invented - Baby Dol. Judging by the reviews, he looks like a real baby. This baby drinks milk from a bottle, eats porridge, “goes” to the potty, they bathe him, swaddle him, change diapers, his eyes close and open, he can cry and calm down if given a pacifier.

The doll can be fed

When you buy a doll, you get a bag of porridge. As part of the usual flour and starch, which are absolutely safe for the child's body in case of accidental ingestion.

To prepare porridge, you need to pour cold water into a bowl up to a special mark, add the dry porridge mixture and mix thoroughly. Feed the baby with a spoon and only in a supine position.

An analogue of Baby Bon loves to swim

Many models operate without batteries and can be safely bathed in a bath. Little "mommies" love this ritual - the baby splashes in the water, then he is swaddled and put to bed. Everything is like in real life.

Baby doll can be drunk with water

Surprisingly, the miracles do not end there. Such an analogue of the Baby Bon doll, it turns out, drinks water on its own. To do this, use a special valve for drinking in the mouth of the baby doll. To make it work, you need to insert a drinking valve into your mouth, squeeze the bottle slightly, and the “child” will start drinking.

You can not use other drinks, only water. You need to drink such a baby in an upright position or sitting, otherwise the water will immediately fall into the diaper.

Proper care is a must

The pupa can "walk" on the pot. Baby doll needs daily care. All the porridge eaten during the day should come out. To do this, use a soap solution. It is enough just to feed the “child” several times from the bottle and put it on the potty. It is advisable to carry out such procedures daily, otherwise the analogue of Baby Bon will fail.

And laughter and tears

This adorable baby knows how to laugh out loud and cry real tears. Of course, if before that it should be given some water to drink. Special sensors are built into the doll. When you press on the left hand, tears flow, on the right - she laughs. The arms and legs of the baby doll are movable, it can be easily seated at a table or in a stroller. And if he wants to sleep, you need to put him to bed, and he will close his eyes.

Many parents praise Baby Bon's analogues. Reviews once again prove the popularity of this toy. The girls are delighted, because this is the best gift and the most favorite toy. The quality of the doll is not satisfactory. There are no foreign odors, the material is pleasant to the touch, smooth and elastic enough. Plus, you can play with it like a real baby.

One hundred clothes

One of the advantages of the original baby doll is the presence of several sets of clothes that can be changed depending on the season and mood. Additionally, you can buy new outfits for the baby. But they are expensive. If you choose an analogue of Baby Bon, which is much cheaper and no less loved by its owners, then why not buy things at a more pleasant price.

Since baby dolls are divided into boys and girls, then the clothes must be selected appropriately. There are many options. Analogues of Baby Bon's clothes can be easily found on the Internet. There are many advertisements for the sale of finished products with photographs. It is also possible to order tailoring or delivery of shoes and hats.

In a word, Baby Bon baby dolls and their analogues are the most successful invention in the world. Doubt? Ask your child.

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, there are promotions and sales. The cost directly depends on the functionality of the doll, on its composition, size and even popularity.

In the nineties, Zapf Creation began to supply dolls with a unique set of features, which created a revolution in this market segment. Very many little girls, and not so little ones, immediately wanted such a “child” for themselves. Needlework forums were full of knitting patterns and patterns for baby born clothes. True, there have been failures with dolls, but the company is working on it and the shortcomings are slowly 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 cheaper than 2.5 thousand, they are mainly supplied by shares, or these are outdated models.

The kit comes with a diaper, a special porridge, a plate, a spoon, a bottle, a nipple, a pot, clothes. The manufacturer offers a choice of many such dolls: Boy, Girl, Little Black Doll, Fairy, Princess, Doctor and others.

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 about constipation in dolls. Now the manufacturers have already solved this problem and the doll pees when you press the navel once and poops if you press it twice.

Dolls from 5.5 to 6.5 thousand

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

Baby Born doll from Zapf Creation is the dream of every little princess. They lovingly look after and take care of the kids. This doll is well worth it. But in some stores, both in the city and on the Internet, you can find such dolls at a very affordable price. Most likely, in such places you are offered a fake of this popular toy. Considering the quality of the materials used and the innovative production technologies, the manufacturer cannot sell his dolls at half price.

Let's see what signs can be used to understand that the doll is not the original.

Box

Depending on the quality of the fakes, their boxes may be quite sloppy, made of thin cardboard. Looking at such samples, you can immediately feel a fake.

There are such copies, the boxes of which practically repeat the boxes of the originals. But still not complete:

  • doll names can be similar to the original: Baby Doll, Baby Love and the like;
  • images of girls playing with a doll may be completely different on the same box.
  • a photo of the original can be placed on a fake box Baby Born dolls with brown eyes. Although the toy itself will with blue eyes.
  • or on a non-original box may be meager amount of information about the doll and its manufacturer.

Accessories

Depending on the model and release date, as well as the manufacturer's idea, the number of items and accessories for the doll may vary. But, in any case, for the original accessories of the Baby Born doll the following is typical:

The original crockery is made from more than durable and hard plastic. On it you can find the Zapf Creation logo or the emblem of Baby Born dolls. In fakes, the plastic is softer. But the inscriptions are much smaller or they are modified.

Diapers in copies may not be doll sizes at all. And without any markings.

The eyelashes of the original babies are black, they are clearly visible from afar. Fakes have light brown eyelashes.

Beanie original baby tied to his head with a rope. In fakes, it is literally sewn to the head. in several places with plastic hooks.

Doll

Fake Baby Born dolls often smell bad X. They still need to be ventilated. Fake dolls have no sexual characteristics. Gender differences are indicated by the color of clothing and accessories: blue and pink. The head shape of the originals is round. In a fake on the back of the head goes small ledge. Yes, and her ears are bigger than the original ones.

On the back of the original dolls marked with a code, in which the model number and date of manufacture of the doll are encrypted, as well as the manufacturer is indicated in embossed letters. In a fake, the back is clean, without inscriptions.

The Baby Born doll has been produced by Zapf Creation since 1991. In 1997, this doll became the most popular toy in Germany. Previously, BB had only 7 functions, the doll did not close its eyes and could not be bathed.
Now the Baby Born doll is very popular and it is not surprising that there are a lot of fakes for it.
Some of them completely copy the doll itself and all accessories ... and even the name. On the boxes of such dolls you can see - the manufacturer "Zapf Creation". It is impossible to determine whether it is a fake or an original without additional knowledge.
Dolls are sold complete with all similar accessories (doll porridge, plastic toy, potty, etc.) that do not meet the manufacturer's quality standards.
List of articles of fakes (this is of course not all):
800-058 baby Born doll
8000-586 baby Born doll
8000-377 baby Born doll
All found fake dolls were confiscated and destroyed (This is a terrible sight):

There are a lot of fakes with a slightly changed name of the doll, Baby Doll, for example, there is also an absolutely identical Zhenya doll.

Zhenechka it's explicit analogue of the Baby Born doll, only with a Russian name. She has 7 functions - she pees in a diaper, goes to the potty, cries (tears flow), the doll can be bathed, fed, you can move her arms and legs. Even the muzzle is very similar (to the old model with non-closing eyes). Sold in different suits.

There are also similar dolls from such well-known companies as Simba and Marsel Toys.
It is not clear whether they are considered fake or just a coincidence of some words in the name and all functions :)))) ... just too many coincidences. But at least the Simba doll has a completely different face ...
This is a doll New Baby Born by Marsel Toys.

Baby Born babies have long established themselves as high-quality and very naturalistic toys for children. These baby dolls are like living babies, and Zapf Creation is constantly trying to improve Baby Bon baby dolls. In 2018, the newest series of Baby Born "Tender hugs" appeared. How does it differ from previous versions of the popular big baby dolls?

Baby Born original

If you watch a lot of Baby Born videos and compare this doll with other baby dolls, you will notice how the original Baby Born babies are close to the appearance of real babies. These baby dolls have pinkish cheeks, the most naturalistic baby face, beautiful eyes framed by fluffy cilia and some very useful features, as well as the perfect size for fun children's games.


Baby Born dolls (there are Russian versions of the name Baby Born and Baby Bon) are produced by Zapf Creation.


The newest Baby Born was released at the end of 2018. The series is called "Gentle Embrace".

In the 2018 - 2019 series, there are both girls and a boy doll.


I propose to study the features of the novelty in the world of dolls as living children and understand how the Baby Born boy from the Gentle Hugs series differs from previous Zapf Creation toys.

Doll Baby Born "Tender hugs"

The boy from the series of Baby Bon dolls "Gentle Hugs" comes in a beautiful box with a large transparent display case, so that it is convenient to view it from all sides, without even unpacking.


On the back of the box are photographs of children's games with the Baby Born baby, information about the toy and its manufacturer.

The size of the toy has not changed - all the same 43 cm.

Baby Born doll made in China. This is the original of the German company Zapf Creation AG, so the quality of the toy is very high.


Baby doll as a living child is intended for children over 3 years old.


Baby Born unboxing

What is inside the box with the Baby Bon boy doll from the Tender Hugs series?

List from the Baby Born play set:

  • Handsome boy Baby Born, series "Tender hugs"
  • Cute bodysuit and cap for a toy (baby comes dressed)
  • Changeable play diaper
  • Dummy on a rubber fastener with a clothespin
  • Blue pot with a pattern to simulate the doll's toilet
  • Drinking bottle with removable lid
  • plastic toy plate
  • plastic spoon
  • 2 bracelets with a heart (for a toy and for a girl)
  • Baby Bon card, in which you can enter data about the boy (name, "birthday", weight and height)
  • Instruction
  • A bag of food with a powder that turns into porridge for Baby Born



If you carefully study the new videos of Baby Born with this boy, you can notice pleasant differences with Zapf Creation toys from past series.

Here's what's changed in 2018:

  1. The new boy Baby Bon received a fully vinyl body, arms and legs. Previously, the body remained plastic, solid, and only the arms and legs were made of vinyl. Now the whole toy has become very pleasant to the touch and much softer and more realistic.
  2. The color of Baby Born "Gentle Hugs" has become more matte and closer to the color of the skin of a newborn baby.
  3. The button on the navel disappeared from the 2018 toy. Now the navel looks more realistic, because the button is hidden inside the body and does not stand out on the surface.
  4. If earlier the arms of Baby Born dolls rose and fell only in a vertical position, now they not only spin vertically in a circle for all 360 degrees, but also slightly rise in a horizontal position in the shoulder joint. Changes like these make Baby Born dressing a breeze and any child can handle the change of clothes on their own.
  5. To make the charming baby Baby Bon cry, it is enough to give him water from a bottle and press the toy's chest. This feature has become very easy.
  6. In order for the boy Baby Born to go to the potty, you should feed or drink him, put him on the potty and press on his tummy (near the navel).

It is very convenient that Baby Bon dolls "Tender hugs" do not need batteries.

What can a 2018 release doll do?

Firstly, the baby loves to drink water from his bottle.

Secondly, the toy child loves to eat Baby Born liquid porridge from a spoon. Preparing food for Baby Bon is very easy. A little girl needs to pour white powder from the original bag of porridge for a doll into a bowl, pour water and stir. You will get a thick slurry, which you can feed the "baby".
