Be careful with your doll. Do your research on how to properly care for your doll. Keep your dolls away from any pets--dogs see these dolls as a nice chew toy. Don't buy these dolls for a little kid to use as a play doll. Never leave them in a car or outside, as the heat/cold can damage your doll; and in some cases, police have broken into cars in the past thinking it's a real baby. If your doll has hair, look up the proper way to care for your their hair.

- If your doll has a magnet, make sure not to have the doll around anyone with a Pace Maker, electronics, or credit cards.
