i had an american girl baby doll when i was 3 and they are still in great condition.. if taken care of they are amazing but omg i looked up the prices to buy my neice one (i had a son and plan on keeping my dolls for if/when i have a girl) thy are expensive! build a bear clothes fit on the dolls if you want to find more affordable doll clothes. over the years i collected a ton of outfits for my dolls and only 2 are from the actual american girl series
