Mommy is a Barbie too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I nearly cried when I learned there was a Barbie with a white cane. I have retinitis pigmentosa and have lost the majority of my vision and need the assistance of a cane. I’m the only person with limited vision that my little girl knows. So imagine her surprise to learn that her mommy wasn’t the only blind person in the world (no matter how many times I tell her I am not lol) and there is a Barbie who needs the assistance of a cane (and the people who love her) too. Thank you so much for thinking of EVERYONE when creating dolls. Representation really does matter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Doll for Both Blind and Sighted Kids
on July 24, 2024
Posted by: Ballad
As a blind woman on the far side of middle age, I'm thrilled that Barbie now has a doll who looks like me. I played with Barbies as a kid, but there were no dolls who used white canes or whose eyes were unfocused. And yes, blind women can wear heels, be fashion-conscious, and have fun with their friends. Thank you, Matel and the American Foundation for the Blind, for getting it right! :)

Why
on October 7, 2024
Posted by: Nojustno
She's blind and you put her in platform heels?? What are the comments below about 'inclusivity' about? Are there signs up in braille that say "no sight no service!" In businesses?! I don't think so. Being blind isn't some racial or political situation. If people need dolls to tell their kids what blindness is then..maybe parents need to take the time to teach kid's that these are people like anyone else, only with some impairment. As a person with a blind parent, and hereditary sight issues myself, I find this cashing in on things and bringing attention to them like this is like standing up in public and pointing to someone while screaming "IMPAIRED!!!!"
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful addition to the Barbie Family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie is visually impaired. There is information in the lower right corner of the plastic packaging that says ‘Barbie’ in contracted Braille. Barbie is wearing a light pink satin top and a purple ruffle skirt with metallic edges. She can identify both these items by touch. This is helpful whether her clothes are hanging in a closet or folded in a drawer. Barbie has a white cane (also known as a blindness cane). The cane goes up to her shoulder, which is the right size for her. The cane has a tip that is white (called a marshmallow tip because it is white). The cane also has a red stripe that helps Barbie navigate curbs or other surfaces. Barbie has sunglasses to give protection for light sensitivity. She also has a slightly upward gaze that blind people may have. This Barbie is another way to continue inclusivity for children who have visual impairment. My four year old granddaughter loved introducing this Barbie to her existing ‘Barbie’ and learning about visually impaired people and how they use different aids and resources to help with everyday life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Blind Barbie is for Older child
on October 10, 2024

from Northwood, NH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this doll for my granddaughter, who is 3 years old to try out. She loves baby dolls so I thought she would love this as the doll looks just like her. One afternoon I brought the doll out during playtime at her house. The doll is beautifully dressed and has shiny hair brown hair just like my granddaughter. At first my granddaughter seemed interested in the doll. However very quickly she lost interest in it. She did not understand what the walking stick was for, though I did attempt to show her. The walking stick was left to the side right from the start. She immediately wanted to remove the clothes on the doll, which was difficult for her to do by herself. And she did not like that all the joints in the doll didn’t move and she could not pose her as she wanted. The doll was put to the side in favor of her larger baby dolls that she can undress herself. I think that this doll is not really meant for most 3 year old's as they do not yet have the dexterity to remove and chance the clothes. Also having a full jointed doll would make for more ways to play with it. I think if my granddaughter was 5 she would have been more interested in this doll. The doll however is beautifully made and I like that it is inclusive to those with vision issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!
