Valentine’s Day is coming, and I think we need to spread the LOVE! I think you all know how much I love Baby GoGo. That is not a secret! I have done a few posts and updates on this cute little baby doll.
Gender neutral and adorable (as well as being the perfect size for a little one to carry around!) Baby GoGo is our favorite doll to date. We reviewed Baby GoGo a few months ago, and I am going to re-post part of my review here (for any new followers, and just to refresh your memories!) But- I have gotten to see Baby GoGo in action at the Chicago Toy and Came Fair (where even Darth Vader was a fan!) and I will have some updated photos for you at the bottom of the post.
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!
