Lee Middleton's PlayBabies are designed
with quality to welcome Newborns into this world, and for each stage
after that. They come in appropriate age categories of Newborn, 6
months, 18 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. Yourchild
will learn how to love and nurture with these life-like babies, while
it becomes a faithful companion, as they drift off to sleep each
night. Ages are only for reference guide, remembering all children age differently.
Most dolls are sold at lower than Suggested Retail
Although
a size description is shown for every doll, it is sometimes difficult
to tell the real difference. So here is a brief explanation and dolls
pictured in order to help you better see the slight differences
Picture
below shows the dolls lined up in age groups showing a pretty good
comparison as to size. Also keep in mind Middleton has designed these
doll to fit the appropriate age groups although children do mature at
different levels- you are the best judge. Older style dolls may not be
appropriate for younger children, although the younger style dolls may
be appropriate for the older child. I hope this is helpful in your
decisions.

My First Nursery Babies and the 6 mo babies
Bailey, Hailey & Owen are the same size. The difference other than
clothes is that the Nursery Babies has a bottle. These dolls are small
13" weighing 1lb & very soft and cuddly.
Paige and Keyden are 1 year babies and have the same body style as Bailey etc. but larger with taller bodies and sightly heavier 17" and 1.5 lb.
Little Katherine & Little Benson 18 month babies are also 17" and 1.5 lb- difference between them and Paige and Keyden is they are slightly more rounded than and have hair.
Reagan, Savannah, Hayden, & Kya are for 2 year olds. They are 19" long with very slim soft bodies
(more like a little girl) with full vinyl arms and legs. Although they
are 19" only the Playbaby clothes sized for 2-3 years will fit. The
other 19" doll clothes are much to large.
Macie and Peyton are for 3 year olds -
Peyton is the same size as Regan etc. and Macie is slightly taller with
straight full vinyl legs. They wear the same clothes as Reagan and
Savannah.
Jordan,
Graham, Gaby, Jaden & Keisha at 20" and 2.5 lbs are a larger
rounder doll shaped like a real baby that has mastered the art of
crawling and is trying to pull up and walk. They are called Newborn
bodies and are just slightly smaller then the NOW dolls. All of the
clothes under the category 'Doll Clothes for 19" dolls' will fit them.
