Young children love to play at being "grown-up" -- in fact, it's a crucial part of their development. With the Fisher-Price Little Mommy Gotta Go Doll, their role playing is taken to a whole new level. Designed for girls ages three and up, the Gotta Go Doll moves, talks, asks for help -- and comes with her own "bathroom," where your child can play "mommy" by helping her use the toilet, brush her teeth, and more.

|  | | Interactive Doll Makes Roll-Playing More Fun
The adorable toddler doll comes dressed in a cute T-shirt and a pair of "big girl" panties. She has positionable arms and legs, bright friendly eyes, and curly pigtails and bangs that can be combed with the included brush. The doll comes with her own bathroom accessories: a toilet, sink, and two bathroom shelves that hold the included toothbrush, toothpaste tube, hairbrush, cup, soap dispenser, and towel. The doll can be extracted relatively easily from the box, but it takes an adult with wire cutters or a pair of tough scissors to do it. Once she and her bathroom accessories are out, you'll need to install fresh batteries: the doll takes 3 AA batteries, as does the bathroom unit. Press the button on her tummy to get the doll started. She will turn her head from side to side, move her arms up and down, and begin "talking." She has a set of randomized phrases, including, "I'm a big girl!" "Hi, Mommy!" and "Mommy, I love you." And she'll ask your child for help. For example, she'll ask for a drink of water, and when you hold the cup to her mouth, and she'll make drinking sounds. Likewise, she'll say "Time to brush my teeth!" If you "brush" her teeth with her toothbrush, she will make realistic tooth-brushing and gargling sounds. Using the Potty
The Gotta Go Doll's central feature, of course, is using the potty. Sit the doll on the toilet, and it will sound like she is "going" in the toilet -- and she will talk about the process, too, humming a tune before she "goes," and saying "I really have to go!" or singing "Pee pee in the potty!" and other phrases that will be funny and delightful to a young child. In the meantime, when the doll is positioned on the toilet, the "water" in the toilet disappears, with the expected "potty waste" appearing in its place. Your child can then flush the toilet. The "water" will reappear, while the toilet makes a very realistic flushing sound. Wash the doll's hands at the sink -- turn the right faucet to hear realistic running-water sounds. Once the fun is finished, your child can simply lay the doll on her back. She'll yawn, say she is "sleepy," and the doll will enter a sleep mode. Move the doll to "wake" her up. She makes a yawning sound and is ready for play again. Realistic Play with No Mess!
The realistic sounds and randomized, interactive phrases from the doll make a delightful stimulation for role playing. And we personally were relieved to find that, unlike other "pee pee" dolls, this one doesn't require real water -- and real mess -- to provide realistic, interactive fun. However, we did find it a little bit difficult to understand some of the doll's phrases -- it took a couple of listens to figure out what she was saying. And our particular doll, unfortunately, makes a tooth-brushing sound immediately after her water- drinking sound, whether you're brushing her teeth or not. But these two minor inconveniences won't detract from a child's enjoyment in taking good care of this little doll. What's in the Box
Little Mommy Gotta Go Doll; bathroom with toilet, sink and 2 shelves; toy toothbrush, toothpaste, cup, hairbrush, soap dispenser, and towel

 go for the frustration free packaging January 1, 2009
Kathleen L. Taylor (Wilmington, DE USA)
I bought regular packaging and thought I would never get this toy unpacked.
Personally, I agree with other reviewers who feel this toy is over-priced, but I felt that way about quite a few toys this season.
My daughter likes the toy and that's what counts.
We haven't really figured out all of the features yet, but I'm encouraged that other reviewers say that it works.
Even though I am under-impressed by the toy, I do appreciate the no mess aspect of it.

I really appreciated the hassle-free packaging - made Christmas morning so much more enjoyable. My daughter loves this toy and could not stop playing with it.
The Favorite Gift December 29, 2008
Dawn (CT)
I purchased this doll for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She had seen it on TV several times and was asking for it every day. I was hesitant to spend so much on one doll but I decided to go for it since it was Christmas and my daughter seemed to want nothing else but this "pee-pee doll" as she calls it. As soon as we opened the package, my daughter would not stop playing with this doll for days. The doll is very interactive and funny and my daughter talks back to the doll's comments and really enjoys all the features and actions this doll performs. I agree with other reviews as far as the countertops popping off, it doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. I'm still happy with the purchase and for all the doll does and for how much my daughter plays with it, the price was not too bad. I'd like for the doll to ask to wash her hands after every toilet use, so potty training children connect hand washing with toilet use. My daughter is already potty trained so it wasn't an issue, but the thought came up.
 GREAT DOLL!! December 28, 2008
Rachel Mcdaniel (Alliance, Ohio)
My girls, ages 4 and 21 months, love this doll. Of all the many toys bought for Christmas, this one was by far the favorite. The doll is super cute, and she says lots of little phrases that make both girls squeal with delight. She turns her head from side to side when you bring the toothbrush to her mouth and makes brushing sounds. She makes drinking sounds when you put her cup to her mouth. The little potty looks like she has peed and pooped. When you flush it, the plastic "water" flips over to show clean blue swirling water. When you put other dolls on the potty, it works for them too. We also got the baby alive potty doll, but the Little Mommy doll is lots more fun and no mess! Nothing more to buy with this doll. With baby alive, you need to buy more food packets and diapers. My girls don't need or want much help with Little Mommy, they can do everything themselves. With the other doll, it's constant adult hands on. Great doll, your girls will love it.
Clean fun December 27, 2008

This doll is best because no mess like other dolls of it kind. No water or food just sounds means no mess. Daughter loves it.
