For some unfathomable reason, most rag dolls are only safe for older kids, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of it being a cloth doll, right? Because from my experience, older girls want Barbies. I know I did.This doll looks pretty good in the photo, but the image here on Amazon really doesn't represent the beauty and craftsmanship of the actual doll. Each hair is secure (and it's full hair, not a creepy combover) and the braids are satisfyingly chunky. The yarn for the hair is soft, like cotton -- not that skeezy, shiny acrylic one usually gets. The stitching on the doll and the clothing is strong, tight, and thorough -- no ragged or fraying seams. The fabric on the doll and the clothing is heavy, soft, high-quality cotton. The doll's construction appears exceptionally solid -- which is good, because she's in for a lifetime of mauling -- and her stuffing is comfortably heavy and soft. But, best of all, her face is just as sweet as can be. I suppose it's the same face as in the photo, but in person she is even more lovely and you just fall in love with her at first sight. I can't wait to give her to my daughter at Easter. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Pals Kathy Doll *by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2011* My husband and I bought this doll for our daughter who will be 9 months old the day after Christmas. We knew we were going to have to take the bracelet off the doll as she could choke if it ever broke, but we didn't realize that her tights were thigh-highs and that her shoes came off as well. Those are super easy fixes, I just hand-sewed them on in a few places that way when she is older I can take the stitching out! The dress isn't as bright of a yellow as pictured, but this is a super cute doll and I highly recommend it! If you are like us and buying it for a child under 1.5, I would recommend a few home adjustments to make it more "little kid friendly" but if the child is in the age range that the toy suggests, you will be all set! We like this product so much, we plan on purchasing all the Best Pals dolls! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rag Doll Kathy from " Best Pals" *by N***7 on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2011* This doll, designed by the Lennon Sisters, was for my granddaughter's second birthday. I received a prompt e mail response from the manufacturer that the doll was safe and compliant with the USA "ICTI". (the doll was made in China) ICTI checks a number of areas pertaining to products: quality, safety, humane environmental conditions, etc. I received the doll carefully packaged and undamaged from Amazon.I removed the doll's dress to iron (wrinkled & understandable.) Looking over the doll I found that the yarn hair had not been sewn together along the 'part' of her braids the last 2 1/2" in back. The stitches right below the hair, making her neck, were barely holding. Those stitches appeared to have been sewn by hand with only 1 thread, using an uneven whipstitch, sloppy looking result.I used a doll needle and yarn to pull and fasten the 2 sides of hair together in back so it should hold now. The neck had so little fabric it was not possible to repair/secure that area. The doll's shoes, and her white tights, are cute. But one shoe had the Velcro fastener sewn on the wrong side of the strap. I ripped it out and sewed it on the correct side and now both shoes stay on.The doll's yarn hair is good quality and color and is very full - no skimping there! The dress was ok, made of thin cotton, and required only a few of the sewing threads trimmed. The body, arms, and legs are stuffed just right -- full enough for a child to squeeze but not thin and floppy.My granddaughter likes the doll, as I knew she would. It is cute! I spent a lot of time 're-making' it, but less than making one myself.The workmanship was a big disappointment. Much of the doll is the quality of re-sale shop toys - certainly ok to buy, but needing repair before use. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1951001-best-pals-kathy-original-16-inch-rag-doll](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1951001-best-pals-kathy-original-16-inch-rag-doll) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
