To also clarify, the Carpatina dolls contain phthalate-free and lead free PVC.
Any vinyl doll will contain PVC (hence the name Polyvinyl chloride).
There are some new researches and developments for a biodegradable/ environmentally friendly PVC but, so far it isn't available for manufacturing the dolls.
The best we can do is to make sure our dolls are made in conformity with all the standards of safety for children.

Hard to believe that no one has been able to come up with a PVC-free doll yet??? But it's my understanding that simple cloth dolls are better for young children anyways since they're soft and cuddly instead of hard plastic. Children identify with their dolls so plastic really gives the wrong message. But of course these can't go in the bath and can get pretty dirty in outside play. Thanks for the tip on plastic pellets inside cloth dolls. Something I hadn't thought of. My boy received an heirloom quality cloth “The Earth Friends” doll (Raji) for Christmas and loves it. Its made from hemp, organic and recycled fibers detailed on their website and I recommend these dolls to anyone. Wait is it possible for recycled fibers to have PVC too? Thanks for clearly updating your readers on changes in the chemical or PVC status of products reviewed in your posts and guides. Much appreciated! Keep it up.

Hello,

I contacted Madame Alexander myself after reading the claim here that their Sweet Baby Nursery line of dolls are both PVC-free and phthalate-free. I wanted to ensure this was the case as I thought it strange this information was not posted on their website (and because Beau James, from Corolle dolls, informed me that ALL vinyl baby dolls are made from PVC). I was disappointed when the customer service representative told me that all of Madame Alexander's dolls ARE, in fact, made from PVC.

Just wanted to let readers know that the information posted here about M. Alexander's dolls either seems to be out-of-date or inaccurate.

I contacted Alicia @ The Soft Landing directly, but did not receive a response.

I hope parents haven't received a false sense of security in buying from Madame Alexander's Sweet Baby Nursery line of dolls based on the recommendations found here.

I contacted North American Bear re: their Rosy Cheeks dolls, asking if they were PVC, BPA, phthalate, and lead free, and what materials are used in production. (Such sweet, soft, cloth dolls.) Their answer: “Doll body is soft polyester velour, the clothes are cotton jersey knit, the diaper is soft fleece, and the filler is 100% ployester filled, and is CE certified for safety. They did not specifically answer my question. Should these products be safe?

Hi Theresa,

No, we don’t test any of the products we discuss here on our blog. We communicate with the manufacturers of those products to confirm their ingredient lists and share that info with parents.

We haven’t spoken with the Kathe Kruse Company, but safbaby.com has, and you can read their findings here.

In our opinion, the safest option we could find is made by Madame Alexander. Their Sweet Baby Nursery Dolls are made without PVC/phthalates specifically for babies who mouth their dolls. You can find the whole list of dolls on their website by clicking the link above in the article.

have you tested Kathe Kruse Baby Bath Dolls? Do these have PVC free?

Would you say then that the safest doll is Madame Alexander? Even more so then the KEptin Jr?

I am interested to know. I have been searching for hours for a baby like doll for my 2 year old

Thanks

Theresa
