Product Description
For a realistic take on what mommy does all day, introduce your little girl to McKayla. This interactive doll uses technology to let "mommy" learn what it’s like to feed, play with, talk to, change, and, of course, love a baby all day long. Voice recognition technology allows McKayla to learn your voice, turn toward you when you talk, and engage in two-way communication. Her speech improves gradually as you spend time with her. The more time you spend teaching her words, the faster she picks it up and the better her language becomes. Sensory technology allows McKayla to see and track objects, like her teddy bear, bottle, and feeding spoon. If mommy moves these things side to side in front of McKayla, the doll’s head will follow the movements. Articulated animatronics provide her lifelike movement and expressions.

Amazing McKayla

McKayla will let you know she is hungry and will move her head to follow the spoon.

McKayla and Bear

McKayla can recognize the objects in front of her and likes to play games.


To make the experience even more realistic, McKayla will let you know what she would like. When she wants food, she’ll say "Hun-gee, Ma-ma!" which is your cue to give her either her bottle or feed her some peas. When she’s feeling cuddly, she’ll say "I love to be held… big hug, please!" Once mommy holds her, she recognizes the voice and stops asking. All in all, Amazing McKayla has seven distinct cries, and like all new moms, your little girl will have to discern between her sick cry vs. her tired cry vs. her hungry cry and so on. But one of the cries is for entertainment, and McKayla has four interactive games, such as Peek-a-Boo, that she enjoys playing. After a long day of learning new things, you can gently rock the doll to sleep. If she’s really exhausted, she might even snore!

Amazing McKayla is 14" tall and requires four AA batteries, not included. She comes dressed in a lavender smock with a matching bracelet on her wrist and bow in her blond hair. Her accessories include a bottle, a teddy bear, a jar of peas, and a feeding spoon.

Got this for a gift for christmas...my niece really loves baby dolls and it was the best gift she ever received. She was 7 at the time and she still loved playing pretend with her baby dolls. McKayla was just what she needed since it was interactive and more life like than her others.
dissapointed

my kid gets impatient with this doll - you have to repeat everything twice for "McKayla" to understand. I don't know how durable the doll is as it has hardly been used...
NIce Doll but functioning problems

Reviewer: Sherry, Canada
My Daughter now aged 4, got this Doll at 3 Years. She loves McKayla, but the Doll doesn't seem to function properly. Everytime she's turned off, it seems to completely reset, needing to reprogram Momma's voice, and then asking if we need help with the instructions, and now it's like McKayla can't hear at all, even when being screamed at. So we wish we could just get the Doll functioning properly. My Daughter has become frustrated I think, and a bit scared, with McKayla not recognizing Her anymore, and there was one time the mouth got a twisted funny, and that didn't help. Now My Daughter only plays with the Doll if it's off.
The batteries die!

Reviewer: Charity,
Really un-happy, the batteries dies within 4 days of using it and all my 6 year old wanted it to do was sleep. My 2 1/2 year old thinks it's great as long as the batteries are dead. At least I didn't pay very much or I'd be really upset. When I emailed the company they just said to try Duracell batteries. Very interesting company.
was fun for me

Reviewer: Brian F. Pulkrabek,
it was FUN watching the reaction on my 2 1/2 year old niece face when this doll got going. educational? yeah, never buy a doll that wants to have a conversation for anyone under 3. durable? yeap, will last forever in the top of the closet. overall the laughs were worth the cost.
