Let me help you with some INFORMATION...
My 3- and 5-year-old daughters have such fun practicing kindness and family life with this house and I haven't even put the batteries in it yet! Even their 7-year-old brother plays along with them! The "Uptown Dollhouse" is too urban and not meant for a family. HERE ARE SOME THINGS I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN SHOPPING: At our local Toys R Us, this COMES TWO WAYS, with two prices. You either got 3 toddlers or paid $10 more for a Dad, Mom, Toddler girl and baby girl instead. You could see the dolls through a window in the box. It is so worth it to get the family! You can pay $10 just for Alan (who comes with a stroller with little Ryan), but they were not in stock online and rarely found in a store. Otherwise, you have to get a groom or a Cali guy, neither of which are dressed like a dad. I couldn't find men's clothes in the store either. Also, the BED is big enough for Dad and Mom. It just looks small on the picture. COMMENTS TO THE MANUFACTURER: All the TINY PIECES are thoughtful, but overwhelming. And with one bump, you're setting the table...again! Try placemats that have a plate and utensils printed on them. Then the child can still feel she's "setting the table". That should cut your (and our) costs! Plus, the plates continually fall out of their slots above the sink. The baby does NOT FIT into the bassinett, her diapers do NOT FIT her and the food pictures do NOT FIT snugly into the fridge - they continually fall out. Yes, the house does fall over easily. We could set it next to a wall, but then they can't play in its back yard. Other than those details which should be easy to rectify, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS HOUSE!! It folds up so smart, too! There's so much to do! Thanks!

for girls 4 1/2 to 8 1/2
MY DAUGHTER LOVES THIS DOLLHOUSE. SHE WROTE AN REPORT FOR SCHOOL AND TOLD HOW THE DOLLHOUSE GAVE HER AN INSIGHT TO FAMILY LIFE. EVEN THOUGH THE HOUSE MAY FALL WHEN ITS NOT SET UP RIGHT. SHE AND HER BROTHER WHOS FIVE LIKES TO PLAY WITH HER AS THE OLDER BROTHER AND KIDS WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER. THIS TOY DOES MORE FOR LEARNING THAN VIDEO GAMES.EVEN THEIR COUSINS 12 AND 13 PLAY WITH THE DOLLS AND THE HOUSE. THIS IS TRULY AND HANDS ON GAME TO THE WORLD OF PRETEND.

I love this toy
this toy is really fun.It has a bathroom, a parents room and a kids room.It also has a kitchen and a living room.I am really enjoying this toy and I think that your parents should buy this toy for you. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This is what Barbie's "happy family" looks like: a gorgeous couple, charming tots, and a well-trained dog, tooling around the 'burbs in a Volvo wagon. Whether they are on their way to a family picnic, or a road trip (provisions for both are included), Barbie's family is almost irritatingly model. Still, the 19-inch, powder blue V-70 is a good investment for Barbie fans. Its full of cargo (two car-seats, toys, cooler, suitcase, traveling essentials, etc.), and has a number of movable play features, such as rearview mirrors, seatbelts, gas tank door, collapsing back seat, and hatchback door. No dolls are included (though one of the car-seats makes lullaby and baby sounds), so kids can pick dolls that define their own "happy family." Three, "AG 13" button cell batteries are included, but will need replacing. Warning: Choking hazard due to small parts; not for kids under 3 years. Diane Beall ... Read more

Russie loves it
I like BARBIE alot and this doll is VERY educational but don't like her that much because when I got it she had a cardboard doghouse and my mommy says "My dater russie is alergic to cardboard...I think...she ate it once and threw up...I am disgusted at carboard!" So I think this doll should get an acual dog house for ... NOT A CARDBOARD ONE!!!!!!

What a wonderful deal for this set!
My daughter received both this set and the Midge with shopping cart set together from Santa this year.She and I both love this toy!It's fabulous to be able to actually put the items on the shelf and have them stay!The only thing I can possibly find wrong with this is the little cardboard squares that fit on the back of each shelf.They have pictures of the foods/items that belong on that shelf to give the store that fully-stocked look about it.I assume these stay on the shelves, or at least I KNOW we're leaving ours on there for appearance sake...however, they tend to fall over from time to time, knocking over the food on the shelf...or they are buckled in the middle, making it difficult to set the food on the shelves...my solution is a simple one...tape or glue and you're all set.

I'm more than pleased with this set as well as the Midge with shopping cart set.They both go hand-in-hand and I most definitely recommend purchasing both together for that special child in your life.

coooool!!!!!!! TOY!!!!!!

A Grandma's review
I am a Grandmother of 12. I enjoy playing with the set. However
the grandma could use more grey hair. It would be nice if grandpa could sit down.
It would also be nice if you could make them the skin color of
Shani doll. I agree that the set takes a great deal of care for a six year old. Help for the stiff hair: take the clothes off and rinse the hair in cool water with-out getting water down the neck.
Ellena A. Miami Fl.

okay
I like this toy a lot but the grandpa's head looks like it is about to fall off. The one chair with the booster seat does not unfold right. And there is a lot os small pieces that can get lost easily. Another thing is that the little card board pieces rip easily. One other thing that I do not like it that the grandparents hair is as hard as a rock. Other than that this kitchen is okay.

Fun, Fun, Fun
This is one of the greatest toys.The detail on the grandma and Grandpa are amazing.Make clothes for them.Make a house for the regular family too!It's so fun! ... Read more

play set
I love this set...its just another thing to add to my daughters barbie collection.When its raining outside, she plays with it just as she would be playing outside.She loves the birthday things that went along with it, since she got it for her birthday.

Very cute, but disappointing
I bought this expecting a much sturdier structure! The little pieces that come with the set are cute, especially the table and chairs. My daughters have enjoyed everything except the actual playground, because it's so hard to use. Even on a prefectly flat table the whole thing wobbles, and the slide doesn't always stay on. The Kelly playground released a few years ago was a much better set, it never tipped as easily. I do like this set, but I think the pool is a better buy, it's much better made, and the grocery store, which isn't pictured on this site yet, is better still. (If you haven't seen the grocery store yet, it's adorable, and comes loaded with cute little "food" items to shop for).

The best toy for a little girl
My little sister loves this toy she plays with it more than she plays with her other toys she has. She loves it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Barbie’s best friend Midge and her husband Alan (sold separately) are expecting their second child--a little girl! Happy Family Midge has a magnetic, detachable belly (baby fits neatly inside)--which allows her to transform from very pregnant to unnervingly svelte in a matter of seconds. If only it were that easy! While the magnetic belly isn’t the most life-like example for kids, it does allow younger ones to grasp the concept of a baby growing inside mommy. Midge comes dressed in a lavender floral dress, fuchsia heeled mules, pink earrings, and--of course--a wedding ring. Baby’s accessories include a 3-in-1 crib, changing table, and cradle, mattress, blanket, bathtub, two diapers, as well as tiny teddy bear, rattle, monitor, bottle, rubber ducky, and more. Safety information: This product contains magnets. Do not use around items that are sensitive to or affected by magnetic fields. This set also contains small parts and poses a choking hazard for children under the age of three. --M. Wilson ... Read more

Vhat?
Vhat is thees? Us in Russia never had sooch a horrible toy. Vhat does thees teach you? To hav a babay at 17? Vhy vould anybody ephen by thees toy? Too seet a baad exaamplee?

bizarro people chill
First of all, I have to say as a homebirth-ing mother that my daughter is 4 years old and she knows where her little brother came from.I think it is perfectly freaky to try to keep secret the origins of human life from other humans.

I love Midge...big love for Midge.My main problem with this toy is that the womb-baby is too tiny and therefore EASY TO LOSE. Then you just have Midge with her big belly and you have to pretend there is a baby inside, which is fun, too.Why doesn't Mattel sell the babies separately?It would save a lot of headaches around my house.

The only other problem I have is that Midge is still a Barbie and therefore not even close to being anatomically correct.I am very disturbed by the high rates of unnecessary cesaerian-section births being performed in this country, and I don't think a nation of children growing up thinking that babies are SUPPOSED to be born out of your tummy is going to help things.

A really great toy
Ok, first things first. Read the suggested age limit!!!!! That is put their for a reason!!!!! Before I tell the pros and cons of this doll I would like to make something clear:
This doll is really great! I love it and I have read every single review on this GREAT product!! Those of you who are worried about this product get a grip! If you disagree with this product get on the show Nanny 911. That is for people who are new with kids and have problems DEALING WITH THEM!!!!!
This product is good for teaching kids about the "birds and the bees." But consider your child's age level!! Ages 1-3 should NOT have this product!! Ages 4-6 only need a small amount of info, such as, "Midge goes to the hospital and the doctor takes the baby out, than Midge comes home." THAT IS ALL THE INFO THEY NEED OR WANT!!!!! YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXPLAIN ABOUT "THE BIRDS AND THE BEES YET!" Ages 7-9 can take more. Increase the info u give by the age of the child.
I am sorry if I sound mean but you should be surprised on the amount of people out there who have kids without knowing how to deal with them, which makes me very mad! TAKE PARENTING CLASSES BEFORE YOU HAVE KIDS OR AT LEAST CRACK OPEN A PARENTING BOOK!!!! IF YOU ALREADY HAVE KIDS YOU CAN STILL LEARN MORE!!!
Now about this product.... It is really great! The baby is very cute and Midge is very pretty. She has a WEDDING ring on that will not fall off. She is quite durable with gentle handling (Once again read the age limit!) and she has some small pieces. The crib is clever how it changes into a changng table and the whole set is great! Buy this product if you don't already have it!!!!
Back to where I'm angry. Do you cover your child's eyes when you see a pregnant woman? Do you simply say she is fat? I don't know about you,but I don't like being called fat. If you want to go against something go against Bratz, My Scenes, and those Cali Barbie things! Those are nasty looking and promote midriff tops and other bad things that are not for children.
Good Job Mattel!!!! ... Read more

cute midge and baby set
I got this set two christmases ago and I absolutely love it!! I think that it is really cool that you can put the baby inside the tummy and pretend that she is pregnant. Midge is a very pretty doll and very fun to play with. The baby stuff that comes with her is way cool too. I like how the baby bathtub slides in and out of the sleves. I also like all the differant kinds of toys for the baby to play with. One of my favorite things in this is set is the cute bassinet. I love this toy and I am pretty sure any little girl would. I hope that this review helped, considering that there are a lot of bad reivews about it.

TOO SEXIST!!
Midge has ditched Alan and Ryan so she can go on a girls-only shopping spree with Nikki and the new baby. Why didn't they (Midge, Nikki and the baby) bring Alan and Ryan with them, like they did in the Hometown Fair giftset? I think this is a mere example of teaching you that you should act sexist, like ''boys are too dumb to go grocery shopping.'' I disagree with that. In short, I DO NOT WANT THIS!! IT'S TOO SEXIST!!

A 10 year old barbie lovers review
I got this toy for no reason. But it is so much fun. The pieces are easy to lose for younger kids but I can keep track of them. This is educational because it teaches kids about how a family would go shopping.It is a bit dissaponting because the baby doesn't have a name or gender. This set is even more fun if you have the rest of the Happy Family line. But over all I give it a 4.

Midge is lovely- Nikki is adorable!! It's just the baby.....
I purchused this set with my B-day money and i am very impressed with the quality of this doll...Her eyes are lovely green and her lips are perfect.....Freakles also go across her face....Nikki is also perfect! She's adorable!! I love the cookie crum thing but i don't put her in water too often..... It's just i think the baby is a little bit weird-looking.......
That's my opinion...I am 12 years old and i have reviewed all kinds of toys on this site.....some good reviews....some bad..
Thanx for looking! ... Read more

Loves Barbies
I was very happy to see that there are some different outfits for the family to wear. We love the fact that they are colorful and easy to get on the dolls. However my daughter wondered why Nikki did not have any underclothes to put on. We thought maybe we threw them away by accident. Shes needs to either have some little shorts or underpants on. Despite this tiny little flaw, we like the clothing sets. We also have the red, white and blue clothing set.

The Family finally changes clothes!
I ordered both the blue & orange and blue & red outfit sets for my Happy Family. I have Neighborhhod Alan and Baby Surprise Midge (we got a baby girl), we donated a set, and have the kitchen and grandparents. I was VERY tired of seeing poor pregnant Midge in that same lilac flowered potatoe sac! Come on, girls! It's time for some designer duds and right in time for summer! Now I do have an entire set with Neighborhood grandparents/1st Birthday Midge & Nikki in African-American that I display with my vintage barbies because they are so awesome and I NEVER change them.

But, I need an extra set to play with. Who doesn't? Rather than little blond Nikki, we used the red head with braids from the Baby Friends gift pack. These clothes are teriffic. They are constructed well and reasonable. One pack can suffice to perk up Alan and Midge's stale wardrobe. The red, white, and blue clothes are patriotic and allow for a coordinated party look or a casual afternoon. The blue and orange look beach or pool bound - a must have if you've got the pool! What do I love? Some of Midge's clothes are post-partum, even a bikini top with shorts! And each pack has maternity dresses in eye-popping colors to match little Ryan and Nikki. So, you can have her pregnant or not, it's up to the individual. I have arthritis and the clothes, even tiny Nikki's outfits, fit well with ample fabric and are easy to fasten. Mattel did a good job with these. I hope to see a winter holiday collection in the fall. And some nightwear would be nice for the children and a robe, nightgown and such. I'm lucky to have red-headed Pool Party Liana and can coordinate her clothes as well. Alan needs some business attire and a tux. I saw some gardening gear for Grandma and Grandpop, but they aren't included in this set. I don't think they need to be changed as often, as they are grandparents and sometimes, with creativity, some of the Fashion Avenue shirts work with Grandma. Grandpop can now borrow Alan's fashions. If you love Happy Families, you'll adore their summer escape fashions. ... Read more

Having apparently shunned more glamorous former careers (ballerina, movie star), Barbie is ready to settle in to practice as a pediatrician in this charming play set. Doctor Barbie wears a pink smock done up in a very cute stork pattern, along with matching pink pants and the obligatory white shoes. Her office is nicely outfitted. It includes an exam table with two cradles, bottles, tiny baby toys, medical charts, baby announcements, birth certificates, a stethoscope, and a tongue depressor. Two tiny babies, all wrapped up warm and toasty, are also included. We liked how thoroughly stocked Barbie's office was, making this set not just fun and comprehensive, but also educational. --John Moe ... Read more

Daughter Loves It!
My three year-old daughter loves this toy.We took most of the small pieces out of the box(for obvious reasons)and let her play with the Barbie and the babies.She takes such tender care of "her" babies now.She wraps them in their blankets and rocks them in the medical cribs that come with the set.

Overall, this is a fun toy for youngsters.As is with most Barbie dolls, there are gobs of small pieces.Keep that and the age of your child in mind when purchasing this toy.

This nursery playset contains everything a new family needs to keep baby happy: a diaper-changing station, baby bath, highchair, bassinet, rocking chair, play pallet, toys, bottles, blankets, and baby-care products. The baby-care station--the set's main feature--has a working drawer (for baby clothes), changing bed, small closet, and several rows of shelving to keep products and toys out of the way. No Barbie dolls are included (and any doll can be used with it) but the set provides enough busy work on its own, given all the accessories. No batteries required. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Nursery
This is the toy that new born daughter gave to her older sister for being a "big sister"It taught my oldest daughter all the things that were needed for taking care of baby.She isn't allowed in her little sister's room, but having the toys (the barbie play nursery) in her room, she has no desire to sneak in her little sisters room to play with all the baby items....she loves this nursery set...her favorite is to put pregnant midge in the rocker with baby and she sings....too cute

an adorbal playset!
I am ten years old, but I loved this playset!! It is so cute,and fun to play with. I loved all the little fisher price accessories!!

Yikes!!
As a midwife this toy scares me.What are we teaching our little girls about how babies are born??!!You just take your belly off and there's the baby.Then you have a flat belly again.I don't have a recommendation of how to have the baby born, but I don't think this one is right. ... Read more

Very fun
They have this doll at my old school. She is very pretty. Happy family is the best set in the world. I'd much rather have Barbies than Polly Pocket or Bratz or My Scene.

Barbie Happy Family Baby Doctor By Mattel in
This is one of the few Barbie lines left that involveswholesome family values. This doll has pretty black hair styled with a headband, a good thing for show, but not for repeated styling. She has jointed arms with a hole in one finger, used for tiny accessories such as a pencil. This hole is very helpful because it holds the accessories in place for an easier playtime. Her uniform, while not reflecting that of a real doctor's, is cute and colorful. While a milk white uniform might bore a child, colors will keep your kid more entertained. Her stethescope is removable, and she comes with a pair of stylish white sneakers with heels (her feet must ache by the end of the day). She comes with various documents, baby bottles, baby pouder, medicines, etc. A dresser with clear rockable cradles on top holds two adorable babies, delicately wrapped in pink and blue blankets and intricately painted with the most adorable faces. The dresser has a shelf where Barbie's tools can be stored. All in all, this is a toy any little girl, or even a boy, could enjoy. It not only gives your children a lesson in child care, but also shows them love can be found in the smallest places, rather it would be in the world of Barbie, or in the hearts of 2 beautiful little babies.

Perfect for the Happy Family
The durability of this toy is low, because like most barbie products the tiny peices will get lost in a week under adverage play. Of course, you have to allow for the fact the stuff has to look like Barbie can use it, so for as long as it last as a whole - it's a good set. I knew Barbie had to include herself in this set somehow and it's cute they put her on the back burner as a Doctor. And she comes with two extra babies if you want to add some other families with random dolls to hang out with Midge and Alan's kids. You can also bring Midge and Alan's baby for a check up. It's really a fun addition if you have the rest of the Happy Family and even if you don't you could have 'other Barbie' bring Krissy in for a checkup. I think it's cute they gave her the floral smock some kid doctors have instead of the standard white.

So with the Happy Family it promotes the education value of taking care of yourself while your preganant and takening care of baby. And without the Happy Family, with Families of your own invention, it can do the same. And if you don't think pregnant Midge is a good example, I'm sure a career Barbie is.

For the African-American version in particular, I'm glad you've embraced our different complextions. Barbie and babies all have beuatiful, unique skin tones. I remember when all Black dolls were the same chocolate color and all looked a like. Thank you for finally embracing our diversity. ... Read more

I love the multi-cultural friends
We use the red headded girl as Nikki since we have the Midge with baby set.My 4 year old LOVES her mommie barbies, so we had to go out and get all of her other barbies little babies.We still need the Doctor Barbie from the Happy Family set, but these toddlers go well with the other Barbies she has (Lea hind of looks asian and we have a Dark skinned Theresa).She enjoys playing Barbies much more than before (she had no interest prior to the Happy Family) and now Kelly and Tommy have been given families too!We recomend this set to add toddlers to your Barbie family.

These Babies Are So CUTE!!!
These little babies are so cute. I cut little chinese girl's hair a bit,but she is still cute! I'm using the red head girl to be nikki though . I got them a couple days ago one st.Nick Day I loved them!!! On the red head's shirt there is little strings of thread and if you cut it off{like me}her tummy will show a little.I still like it though.I Hope my review helped bye bye!!

Adorable little tots
These todelers are beautiful and cute. They have lovely clothes and sweet, curious little faces. I highly reccomend this to anyone who loves Barbie and Happy Family. I look forwad to asking Santa for more Happy Family fun for Christmas this year. ... Read more

Happy Family: Happy 1st Birthday Alan and Ryan
They had this toy at my old school. It is alright. The accessories are very cute, but Ryan looks a little bit strange. And, we had the doll for a few days, and the arm got ripped off Alan!! It is a very good toy if you are gentle with it.

Alan and doll
this is a great family doll...the car is absolutely cute...my husband even commented on the car having a seatbelt, and said it teaches children that they too need to wear their seatbelts.
