 Large dollhouse with lots of room to play |

| I just ordered this dollhouse for my almost 3 year old for Christmas. I bought this dollhouse because I wanted a house larger than the FP classic house. We have the classic house from 3 years ago and the rooms are almost too small for furniture. This dollhouse is definitely larger. It is also easier to fold up and open. My daughter had trouble with the other one because you had to fold up the stairs and the second floor before you close it. This one just folds shut. The stickers were very easy to apply and I liked the addition of the bonus stickers for decorating. The dolls look cute and have real hair (our old ones had painted hair). I haven't tested the speaking aspect of the dollhouse since I am waiting until Christmas to put the batteries in. My only dissapointment is that there are some pieces of furniture permanently attached (in the middle of rooms no less). This is necessary for the sound I suppose, but I think it may limit placement of additional furniture and play. All in all, this is a much nicer dollhouse than the classic dollhouse and is worth the $. |

| This dollhouse has everything and more for your little one's imagination to explore! It's large when opened up, but easily folds for storage. Built sturdily. Wonderful sticker accessories that you can add yourself for personalization. It came with the mom, dad, daughter, baby, cat, baby accessories, chair, radio, and more! And here's the best part...the family, cat, and radio will all interact with one another when placed easily in certain areas of the house! Loving and wholesome interactions, too. I highly recommend this to any dollhouse enthusiast! |
Perfect dollhouse for us

| I selected this dollhouse over the classic dollhouse because I wanted one with big enough rooms for the furniture and one that would allow more than one child to play with it at once. I was concerned the classic dollhouse might be too small. But I did not want something as big as the townhouse that was being sold at the time. I was hesitant to order this dollhouse because of the permanant furniture...some reveiws said it was totally in the way. But for the most part it is fine. There is a fixed rocking chair in the nursery that could be a little closer to the wall however it is still possible to fit the crib and dresser, and the kitchen chair could be a little closer to the table, but again not a big deal. There is one other room with a fixed chair and desk that are against the wall and not at all in our way. I was also not thrilled with the sounds feature (must all toys make noise??) but it has grown on me and my kids enjoy it. In spite of those concerns I picked this one and am very happy with it. You will want to get some additional furniture right away but once you have a few rooms you can add addititional rooms more slowly if desired. Our Toys R Us store has a good selection of furniture sets (more than on this site, typically) and I've also found furniture at Walmart and Kohls stores. For some reason it is sometimes hard to find on line. |

| My 3 year old daughter received the Sweet Sounds Dollhouse for Christmas this year. She loves it! This dollhouse, in my opinion, is the best one out there! I researched and carefully looked at each of the 3 Fisher Price Dollhouses, and the playmobile dollhouse, and like this one the best. It's very durable, very roomy, and pretty. Having three girls, we've had 3 different Fisher Price Dollhouses, and a Playmobile Victorian Dollhouse. The Loving Family Fisher Price Classic Dollhouse is nice, but just doesn't have enough room to hold the furniture. We tried this one first, and exchanged it for the Sweet Sounds Dollhouse. I like the Sweet Sounds Dollhouse better than the bigger, more expensive one that has a fireplace that crackles and has sounds and lights, because the plastic is thicker and more durable, and prettier colors inside. I had a chance to play a little with this one as well, and found it tipped easily over and the plastic was not as thick and durable. The playmobile Victorian Dollhouse is nice too, but my kids never played with it much. The colors and style are more of an older styling, and my girls preferred the Fisher Price one's better. My oldest daughter still has the original Fisher Price Dream Dollhouse, which is very simuliar to size as the new Sweet Sounds. The Sweet Sounds comes with the most detailed and adorable furniture, a Dad, a Mom with combable hair, a big sister with combable hair, and a cute baby. 3 pieces of furniture are permantly attached (the rocking chair, little girl's room chair, & kitchen table chair) to the flooring because these are the 3 pieces that make the 200 phases when the people are placed on them. The moveable furniture included is an adorable cradle, highchair, & baby swing. The stickers are very pretty , and there are tons that take sometime to apply but are worth it. A sheet of additional optional stickers are included as well. A nice touch. You will have no trouble fitting in the extra furniture you will want to buy to furnish the house with, because there is a ton of room in this house. The house closes easily and my 3 year old can close it herself. It fold compact for storage and holds the furniture inside. The 200 phases are very sweet. My little girl likes the voices and it gives her ideas of different ways to play. The sound can be turned on or off. Some of the phrases are "how about a big Daddy hug?" and "I like playing dollhouse with you". All the phrases are very loving--like the perfect family! My 3 year old daughter has no trouble positioning the figures correctly to make them talk. Basically she just sits them in one of the 3 pieces of furniture that make them talk and they talk. The 3 pieces that make the dolls talk are the rocking chair, kitchen chair, and the little girl's room chair. Some of the additional furniture sets have extra pieces that will talk, meow, or play music in the dollhouse too. My 7 and 11 year old daughters think this dollhouse is fun too. Take it from a Mom who has tried them all----this is the one to buy! |

I have just assembled this dollhouse and am impressed. The victorian styling is lovely and it is much more spacious than other dollhouses.
If you are buying this house & matching rooms, you need to know that it has a built-in kitchen (not removable) with fridge, stove, sink, breakfast table, etc. so you do not need to buy the Loving Family Kitchen. I did, and now have to return it. |
