Hmmmmm, maybe this is there way of getting the consumer to buy both seats....:scratcheshead: One looks too big for the seat and the other looks too small, we'll get both and switch the dolls!:p

I'm thinking the folks designing the carseats are not designing the toys.

Yeah, Tolly Tots just has a license to use the Graco name on those things, I don't think Graco has any oversite (unless they are both Rubbermaid and they don't have any inter-office memos?).

At any rate, it's still *really lame* that they can't even *try* to get it right :( (says she who put a newborn age doll in a FF Compass harnessed toy seat this morning with the straps too high and too loose... :whistle:)

My daughter actually OWNS that toy... the doll fits perfectly... head 1" below the top and everything... that picture is just WRONG.

if you notice... the doll is raised a good 2-3 inches off the seat and is lying flat... that's why it appears too big.

Now, that said... I hate that they don't give the doll shoulder straps., but since the seat doesn't have slots for use without the base, I've written it off that it's only a baby carrier, not a carseat.

I'm going to try to get Ruthie a joovy seat for her dollies for christmas.

I don't know, but did anyone see the related items on the side? Tolly Tots also makes a knockoff bugaboo-ish doll stroller (got terrible reviews though). I might get DD the umbrella stroller though, for $10...

We have that stroller and DD likes it a lot. Of course, DH keeps folding it up and hiding it in the closet because he's tired of big toys. :rolleyes: (OK, she DOES have a lot of big doll-related stuff ... Little Tikes carriage, Graco stroller, Joovy car seat, Graco car seat/travel seat, Fisher Price travel seat/feeding chair ... )

We have the older Graco Snugride doll seat and stroller, and the turbo. I've always considered that they are JUST TOYS and never given it a 2nd thought. DD uses the turbo for her American Dolls and the snugride for her Bitty Baby. We also have the Joovy seat and that's the only one that goes in the car.

Honesty, I think that toy car seats (even if they aren't to scale or are missing straps) are a good thing to encourage kids to keep themselves safe. I don't think they have to be perfect to send a message to kids about safety.:twocents:

We have a couple of these at work. We also have some smaller babies that don't go with them. Whenever one of the kids asks me to put the baby in the seat, I tell them "that baby needs a bigger car seat!" make them bring me a smaller one and then rig the 3 point velcro straps into a makeshift five point harness. :p:D
