Our take

A first baby doll for routines the child invents

Jenna's soft body, closing eyes, and pacifier support simple feeding, cuddling, and bedtime stories without an electronic script. The twelve-inch size makes it a manageable companion for visits. Removable clothing and the pacifier add actions to the play, but they also need to be kept with the doll.

Best fit
Caring for a baby is the play pattern, and keep the soft body out of water play.
Before buying
Clothing and pacifier can be misplaced. The soft body is not intended for water play.

The trade-off

GUND Muttsy offers a soft animal companion without doll-care accessories. Bluey and Bingo give two familiar story characters. Choose Jenna when caring for a baby is the play pattern, and keep the soft body out of water play.
