 I had never heard of them till a few years ago..my girls were to old for dolls by then...Would I ever buy one?? No..they are to expensive to me...

I definately would not get them for a 2 year old. Target has these dolls called Generation girls or something that look almost exactly like the American Girl dolls and they are only like $25. I'd get her that instead.

I got my first American girl doll when I was about 8 and boy did I love her. I still have her. She was my favorite. We got my SIL one when she was about 12. I would say about 5-6 is the earliest just because they are so expensive. She would love one now but I would find it hard to get her one. There are other options out there for her. maybe a cabbage patch kid?

no im not getting for her now i was thinkinh for her b-day they have american girl dolls for 3yr olds

Get her the bitty baby one. It will last, and if it does get some damage, you can send it out to be repaired for a small fee. Plus they are what $40, not bad.

I would hold off on the traditional AG dolls till she's 5/6 though OR proves she can be responsible with it. I still have my Samantha doll from when I was little, and my DD will get it eventually (along with her own). Of course, buying them is also partially self-indulging lol.

Barnes and Nobles carries the paperback books and the little dolls 18 inch dolls.  We bought a doll and two books for my youngest daughter to hopefully get her into reading.  I never had one as a little girl, but always wanted one.
