[HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW DEMONSTRATION DOLLS?]
Handmade in Germany, these professional demonstration dolls are weighted and jointed, to assist with a lifelike experience for fittings and demonstrations of baby slings, carriers and cloth nappies.

Despite their weight, we were able to bring three of these dolls back with us from Las Vegas - Premmie (48cm, approx 2.7kg) Newborn (55cm, approx 3.2kg) and Toddler (70cm, approx 5.7kg), although suspicions were obviously aroused when they were
x-rayed, as each of the suitcases were opened for inspection and the baby’s got to meet with the TSA!

News of the impending arrival of our new dolls got back to the store, however, where it appears the current dolls turned on each other at the thought of being replaced!
