This is a cute animated doll, we got it for my 2 year old grandson who loves these singing & dancing dolls. I know this is not a scientific test but usually these kind of dolls last a couple of weeks before he demolishes them, this one didn't last two days. Probably means nothing if you are going to put it on a shelf and push the button occasionally, if you have a little one who will carry it around and play with it look for something more durable and cheaper.
