Barbie Fashionistas Doll #165 with Wheelchair and Ramp, Tropical Outfit with Accessories

I received this as part of the Play , Rate & Review scheme. And honestly when we received it , it was such a shock. As a disabled mother this is something I resonated with deeply , and I must mention if I had something like this when I was younger I may have been able to come to terms with my disability earlier on in life. It was actually amazing that there was no physical impairments with the Barbie , yet she was a wheelchair user (the same as myself ) My children absolutely love playing with this toy and my youngest who is 2 easily made the connection to my own wheelchair. It's lovely to see disabilities being shown as normality. Thank you Mattel. From my family to yours. You have broken boundaries.

Great toy my daughter loved it

She is very cool. I love that she is jointed so that she sits perfectly in the chair. This is for Christmas so she hasn't seen it yet but I know she will love it. She is relatable because her grandmother is in a wheelchair and I just know how perfect she will be for her.

My Granddaughter was asking for a wheelchair for her Barbies for awhile. As it turned out she received two! Both her and her cousin play with them all the time.

I bought this Doll for my Granddaughter an I was very Pleased that it arrived on time a the Product was 100% just what I hoped for. Love ordering from Walmart.

My 4 yr. old granddaughter has wanted her everytime we go into Walmarts. She got her for her birthday and was thrilled. I was pleased at how well she is made.

Fashionista #165..... My daughter is so thrilled with this doll. Although the hair isn't as wavy as advertised it is very clean and has a nice thickness. All her joints are smooth and move as they should. Her outfit and fanny pack are all made nicely With care, the lemon fanny pack has great detail down to the zippers............The only issue we notice is with her pixelated lips/face paint. We have the same issue with our Barbie Extra #3. Is this how they are supposed to be made these days?

I was sent this product to review. I love how the barbie range has expanded to be more inclusive of all people. It is well made and the barbie itself has more movement in the legs and knees. The wheelchair has working breaks and is fairly sturdy even. A criticism would be the bit that holds barbies waist in the chair isn't very supportive so when using the supplied ramp barbie does fall out. I think it's a great item that allows children to be inquisitive and also those in wheelchairs to feel like they are included and valued equal.

We got this Barbie a couple of weeks ago and it's been a bit in our house. Initially the children were impressed with how stylish Barbie looked. It was great to see a Barbie in a realistic looking wheelchair, which moved in an authentic way. It led to lots of positive discussions about disability and why people may need to use a wheelchair. The quality of the Barbie was great. She has strong and flexible joints at the knees and elbows which makes moving her about very easy. The wheelchair is light but robust and has brakes to stop it rolling away during play. My only complaint is that her fabulous hooped earrings get a bit caught up in her hair and need to be untangled from time to time, but this is only a small niggle really.

I ordered this Barbie twice for a child in a wheelchair and never recieved the Barbie. I got a refund for the 1st Barbie I did not get and now I have to get my money back for that one. I then ordered from Amazon and received it within 2 days.
