The 10 Best Baby Doll Accessories for Pretend Play

Best Set

Kid Connection Baby Doll Stroller Set

4.5

View On Walmart

For the ultimate play set all in one bundle, look for this affordable ten-piece find. It’s a great introductory product, as it comes with everything your child needs to get started, from the 13-inch soft baby doll itself to the coordinating outfits, feeding and changing accessories, an umbrella-style stroller, and more.

Kids can choose between two baby dolls that vary in skin color, which users love. They also noted that the high-quality doll is soft enough to hug and cuddle, while durable enough to sustain a few falls. While playing, kids of all ages can swap in dolls, stuffed animals, or other toys to push around in the brightly colored stroller.

Though a great entry-level set, it’s one that’s sure to go the distance and it can accommodate older kids as well. Taller kids just may have to bend down slightly to push the small stroller.

When it comes to strollers, chances are your child will be most happy with something that looks just like the real thing. This one looks remarkably similar to many of the top parental options on the market, right down to the shape, added features (like a deep storage basket and double wheels on all four legs for added stability), and a sharp navy hue. It even collapses flat, so your child can more easily take their baby doll wherever they go.

Best Bottle

Toysmith My Sweet Baby Magic Baby Bottles

View On Amazon View On Walmart

These “magic” baby bottles seem like feeding since the liquid seems to disappear as the baby eats. Each package comes with two bottles—one filled with milk and one filled with juice—so your child has options when it comes to mealtime for their doll. As an added bonus, the bottles are colorfully decorated and come complete with measurements to more closely resemble the real thing, though it needs to be cleaned like any other toy as well.

For the child on the go, consider a miniature version of the incredibly popular Ergobaby carrier. It straps onto the front or the back just like the real thing does, so your son or daughter can carry their doll (sizes 15 to 18 inches) just about anywhere.

Don’t worry about exact fit, as the carrier has adjustable shoulder straps to ensure a snug fit. It’s also machine-washable, so the inevitable dirt or spills won’t be an issue—even if it becomes the most beloved doll accessory they own.

Best Car Seat

Joovy Doll Toy Car Seat

View On Amazon View On Walmart

If your baby takes their own baby wherever your family goes, reinforce the importance of safety with a car seat for the doll. This one looks just like a standard infant car seat, complete with the five-point harness, and even locks into the car via a seatbelt or LATCH system to keep dolls 12 to 20 inches safe and secure. And, just like the real thing, the carrier clicks off of the base, so you can tote the baby doll into the store without wrangling the entire thing.
