- She wears a satiny pink blouse and sparkly, ruffled skirt made with a fun-to-touch fabric! Strappy lavender heels add an extra note of style savviness to her sweet look
- The brightly colored, high-contrast closures on the back of her top and on her skirt’s elastic waistband make it easier to dress Barbie doll!
- Her silvery aviator sunglasses are not only super cool -- they’re practical too! The “lenses” shield her eyes from UV rays when it’s sunny

I love the Barbie’s that represent those with disabilities. Barbie is an iconic line with so much influence to girls and women all over the world. When I lost part of my vision I felt lost and alone. Seeing a Barbie doll with the same affliction makes me feel like there’s hope to bring awareness and representation to all🩷

My daughter loves this Barbie and was so thrilled there is finally a Barbie like her. She is totally blind from a brain tumor. She loves the textures on Barbie’s clothes and the braille on the box. Although she commented the braille is difficult to read as it’s a little flat. She loves this Barbie so much she was it for Halloween this year. As a parent I’m grateful for the exposure and inclusivity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Barbie's front of box has braille on it. My little one started asking why and what was braille. This Barbie opened a series of questions. All good questions. Opened a new window of thinking and understanding. Good job Mattel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie is very gorgeous and has a fashionable outfit. This is a great way to teach children about inclusion, diversity, and also about people with different abilities. This Barbie gave my daughter the opportunity to learn people who have vision loss or are blind. She learned about the benefits of a cane and sunglasses. This is her favorite Barbie at the moment, and she absolutely loves her outfit and hair.
Mommy is a Barbie too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I nearly cried when I learned there was a Barbie with a white cane. I have retinitis pigmentosa and have lost the majority of my vision and need the assistance of a cane. I’m the only person with limited vision that my little girl knows. So imagine her surprise to learn that her mommy wasn’t the only blind person in the world (no matter how many times I tell her I am not lol) and there is a Barbie who needs the assistance of a cane (and the people who love her) too. Thank you so much for thinking of EVERYONE when creating dolls. Representation really does matter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about the doll was good except for we couldn’t figure out how to keep her walking stick in her hand. She was trying to walk the doll but the walking stick kept falling off out of her hand .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The doll was nicely dressed and shows a disability. Very good to expose children to people with handicaps. My child has added this to her collection of Barbie dolls and loves playing with her. She has had hours of enjoyment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this doll for my granddaughter, who is 3 years old to try out. She loves baby dolls so I thought she would love this as the doll looks just like her. One afternoon I brought the doll out during playtime at her house. The doll is beautifully dressed and has shiny hair brown hair just like my granddaughter. At first my granddaughter seemed interested in the doll. However very quickly she lost interest in it. She did not understand what the walking stick was for, though I did attempt to show her. The walking stick was left to the side right from the start. She immediately wanted to remove the clothes on the doll, which was difficult for her to do by herself. And she did not like that all the joints in the doll didn’t move and she could not pose her as she wanted. The doll was put to the side in favor of her larger baby dolls that she can undress herself. I think that this doll is not really meant for most 3 year old's as they do not yet have the dexterity to remove and chance the clothes. Also having a full jointed doll would make for more ways to play with it. I think if my granddaughter was 5 she would have been more interested in this doll. The doll however is beautifully made and I like that it is inclusive to those with vision issues.
Perfect

She's blind and you put her in platform heels?? What are the comments below about 'inclusivity' about? Are there signs up in braille that say "no sight no service!" In businesses?! I don't think so. Being blind isn't some racial or political situation. If people need dolls to tell their kids what blindness is then..maybe parents need to take the time to teach kid's that these are people like anyone else, only with some impairment. As a person with a blind parent, and hereditary sight issues myself, I find this cashing in on things and bringing attention to them like this is like standing up in public and pointing to someone while screaming "IMPAIRED!!!!"
The perfect doll for any little girl/girls to have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this toy in return for an honest review. The packaging is attractive and has Braille text. The colors and design of the package is appealing. The Braille allows visually impaired individuals to know what is in the package. My only criticism of the packaging is, in order to released the doll, scissors are needed. This may present a challenge for adults with visual impairment to release the doll for a child. I would recommend a more stress free packaging. The inclusion of the sunglasses and white cane shows the manufacturer’s attention to detail. The clothing is fashionable. The shoes are functional. In comparison to Barbie dolls in the past, these shoes are designed to fit and remain on the feet. The doll has all the features that Barbie is know for while also providing a child exposure to individuals with disabilities.
