Pregnant Dolls for kids?

I don't see anything wrong with pregnant barbie dolls.Parents need to start being parents and stop blaming video games tv shows and toys for the way their child turns out.I would let my child play with one.

I am totally against this pregnant doll thing...children should not be exposed to any thing other than pencils and crayons...people who brought this item in the country should be penalized...

I hadn't heard about that but not surprised. Last year or so it was a "nursing" baby that was in the hot seat...and teaching the little girls to "nurse" their baby..literally. Parents, and rightly so, went bazerk over this one and really hit the manufacture hard about it not being acceptable. You dont' have to teach little girls about how to be a mother, or take care of a baby or deal with any of that. They are little girls, they don't need to know about all that. They should be able to just play with their dolls...and left alone with the rest until they are older. I think society these days is stealing kids childhoods with toys these days. THey don't have to do anything but press buttons. Sad... they don't know what they are missing. I play board games with my grand kids and they love it! But...they only do that at my house, once gone, they are back to pressing buttons!

Wow I was surprised to know that there are pregnant dolls. I have not seen in one in the malls. I am not sure if kids will be interested about this but I guess the idea of pregnancy will make them curious. I think they should not manufacture this kind of toys.

i have not seen pregnant dolls anywhere. I dont know why the manufacturers did it but then I surely hope that it will have a positive effect on the children playing them.

I personally don't think the dolls have anything to do with girls getting pregnant...I think bad parenting has a LOT to do with young girls getting pregnant. My children will have it instilled in their heads that pregnancy is hard, a child is expensive and unless you have the means to take care of a child you should not get pregnant. I am also going to teach them as they get older that school and a career are the most important things to strive for, then comes the family once you can afford to care for a child.

I would not get those for my daughter because I just don't think that it would be something that she should be learning from a doll. I would talk to her about it, but a doll seems a little much.

Even if I had a daughter, I would not buy a pregnant dolls for her. Even if I tried to explain to her, she would not understand it since she was so little. And actually I even don't know how to explain it better to her. I don't understand why the doll manufacturers will be so creative and make these pregnant dolls. Do they think this will be a good market? I doubt to it.

I had never heard of pregnant dolls before I read this discussion. Though I can't see how they would help to cause teenage pregnancy.In my opinion the thing that will reduce teenage pregnancy is education and these dolls can help with this.They also give realistic dolls that have the similar care requirements as real babies to Teenagers to teach them the realities of parenthood.Showing them that it is a lot harder than they imagine it is. In my opinion pregnant dolls could be no different to this.

There is nothing wrong if the parents would guide them and explain to them nicely about why such doll exist. I don't think a very young kid would think of getting herself pregnant just because of having a pregnant doll. Coz even without dolls, kids would see pregnant ladies in the street and in TV/movies.

There are lots of toys in the market maybe I will not choose those pregnant dolls to give as a present for my niece.. instead I will choose something educational.. pregnant dolls may leave a bad impression on kids they might think that it is fine being pregnant.. in their young age they are easily confused and influence by what they see so for me I don't agree giving a pregnant doll on kids..

the trend of today's world about good moral values is going downhill and on top of that greed and ignorance are the main reasons

Unfortunately everyone is engaged in business and there is no ethics in business, why the companies are manufacturing this type of dolls? Unfortunately gaining profit by hook or crook are their motto.

I agree with you.Parents should avoid buying pregnant toys for kids and I do believe that it may have negative impact on kids.You might have experienced that kids are very exploratory in nature and they always try to know what they are playing with or what they is seeing around them and always want to know in detail about that.I really wonder why some toy manufacturing companies are making such type of toy however I haven't seen pregnant toys.

Lately I have seen slot if uproar about these dolls, they have been around years. I had one as a child, I don't see a problem with it. I would happily let my children have one. Pregnancy Oscar beautiful natural part of life so why shouldn't children experience it through play. Especially if the Childs mum is pregnant it will show the child what's happening.

Pregnant dolls? I have never seen them, I am sure they look cute. However, I wouldn't buy one for the kid in the house. Kids might want to follow the doll and might consider it as the norm. I will still go for the traditional doll.

I don't think it is such a big deal. They must have manufactured it because of it's uniqueness and it would make kids curious. Maybe they want to play with their dolls and have one of them give birth or something. It will stimulate children's imagination. Not sure if it's good or bad.

That is right! Kids world should be fresh.
