If you want to go with a 18 in doll, even though she is very young.... Try the Our generation dolls, it can be a "starter doll.. My 3 year old has done well with her OG doll, although she still needs help with some of teh outfits and her hair brushing skills are being worked on. I felt it was a lower cost to get a OG doll versus AG just to give her a chance to learn how to properly care for an AG. She has asked for an AG doll for Christmas and I am planning on getting her a used one.

Also, If you have a Tuesday morning near by, they often have a variety of nice dolls this time of year, name brand, but reduced cost.

I would also like to add-- Corolle dolls are wonderful and my daughter's favorite doll is a Corolle Calin
