I am so happy to be able to share Baby GoGo with you. This is a really great product. Not only is it really sweet and cute, not to mention well made, but it’s message is fantastic.

This cute baby doll, Baby GoGo, was initially created for the preparation of a younger sibling about to join the family. That in itself is a really good idea- our older children will certainly have some feelings regarding a new member of the family, and helping them learn about babies, how they will come home, what being a big sibling will be like, where mommy will go to have the baby, etc will all go a long way in making them feel included in the process.

Baby GoGo is also gender neutral, which means that it is made for either boys or girls. I can’t stand it when people cringe or judge a boy for wanting to play with a doll or other “girls toys”. There should be no classification between “boy’s toys” and “girl’s toys”- if someone told my daughter she couldn’t play with a football or a truck, I think I would lose it! I feel the same way about macho attitudes about boys playing with a doll. We want our sons to grow up and be good men, loving husbands, kind fathers, involved in the lives of their children- yet some cringe at the nurturing aspects of our son’s behavior, and would deny them the chance to grow and express these emotions and instincts.

About a year ago, Little Man wanted a doll and carriage. We found him an all blue doll after quite a search, ordered online. His uncle made him a stroller, then found a gray carrier when he was out of state and got it for him (he has a good uncle!) I gave him a black diaper bag I had- it’s too big for him to really carry around, but he likes to play with it. It’s hard to find stuff for a sweet little boy who wants to play daddy! (Remember Baby GoGo if you have a son or are expecting– especially if you don’t know the sex!)

Baby GoGo is not pink, nor is it blue. The colors and pattern chosen does not scream “this is for a BOY” or “GIRL”! When we brought it to the Pre-K, the kids all loved it. The kids named it “GoGo”- yep, creative bunch, LOL- and all took turns playing with baby. We read the story, “Baby GoGo Goes Home” and they had lots of questions and stories about their “little sib“s.

I would highly recommend Baby GoGo. It’s a great toy, with a great message. And packaged in recycled materials- Yay! Love that.
Baby GoGo has won lots of awards as well- here is a list!

My thoughts? As a mom and as a teacher- Baby GoGo is a must have for Pre-School kids to about 9. Love it, Love it. Can’t say it enough. Keep it in mind for your Holiday Shopping!
Happy Shopping!

From Baby GoGo
“Dolls are a valuable tool for teaching nurturance and
in adjusting to changes in family life, especially in
welcoming a new sibling. Children love to imitate
their parents, and a doll gives a child the opportunity to care for something of their
very own. Baby GoGo™ is reinventing the look of the baby doll for the 21st century. Outfitted in bright, gender-neutral colors and patterns, our 13-inch doll is the perfect playmate for a girl or a boy, and like most children today is bright and on the move.

The Baby GoGo™ line includes illustrated storybooks, outfits and accessories featuring rich, contemporary colors that children will recognize from their own wardrobes and surroundings. The first book, “Baby GoGo™ Goes Home”, tells children the story of Baby GoGo™ leaving the hospital after being born and meeting siblings for the first time! The book comes packaged with Baby GoGo™ dressed in our sleepytime outfit and a cozy, soft blankie. This package is an ideal tool for helping a child prepare for and adjust to a new baby in the house. The accessories and outfits extend the play value with a diaper bag for children to carry, a Moses bed for baby’s naps, an outfit for playtime, and many more to come. Baby GoGo™ offers children, parents and grandparents the value of classic pretend play, while giving a fresh new look in line
with 21st century life.
Every child should have the opportunity to learn to nurture. By removing the
traditional ruffles and pastel pink and blue, Little Sib is working to remove
gender-bias in toys. Baby GoGo™ meets toy safety requirements and is packaged in recycled materials, helping to make it a purchase to feel good about. Together we can make our world kinder,cleaner and safer for our children.”
