How durable are these dolls? Would it survive life at a preschool?

I think so! The doll itself seems very sturdy. The hat will be easily lost but looks cuter without anyway. The clothes might be the only issue because they are thin but the doll quality, for the price, is great. Hope that helps!

The doll is used for our grandchildren. We have 11 little ones. The doll is very durable. It will survive life at a preschool.

This doll itself should be very durable. We trashed the hat right away. It was a tight fit on the dolls head and not very stretchy. It was too difficult for my preschool aged grandchild to get the hat back onto the doll's head again.

The face is markable so you might get crayon marks but otherwise it should hold up well physically

I've had this for a while now and haven't had any trouble with it starting to tear or break apart. It's been a little smashed because it's in the back with my kids, but it still maintains its shape as it did when it was new. I'd call that pretty durable; we've had no issues with it.

My triplets have been using them since they were 3. They have destroyed all other ones we've had but not these! So far they are pretty indestructible. Shouldn't be a problem for you at all.

I bought this for a 2-year old and she absolutely loved it. Any younger and they may not understand how to dress up the dolls. Also, there are some small parts (shoes,etc) that could be a choking hazard for a younger child.

I'm not sure, but being Melissa & Doug, I have no doubt that it's 100% safe for little ones. As far as its durability, we've had it for over 6 months now and it hasn't shown any signs of wear. My kid pushes it around all day long! It's definitely a favorite.

I think she should be fine. These are great doll strollers. My 4 year old daughters still play with them. They are in great shape after a year and a half.

Hmmm...I have never tried. But my daughter has had this doll a long time and still plays with it & I am assuming if they came off...they would have by now:)

We have had it since Christmas and its still intact. I have a 3.5 and a 1 year old. I do make sure we use it as a broom not as a hammer if you know what I mean :). We really like them.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

I'm surprised by the last comment about them pinching fingers. My 3 year old plays with them almost daily and we have never had a pinch. Like the other answers said, the dolls can only sit when they are not dressed. There is no way I will buy the rubber ones again-oh and those rip apart so they don't last forever either.

I think it is pretty sturdy, definitly stronger than a lot of the cheapo plastic stuff out there. The doll family may get tattered, but the furniture and house pieces are well made and should last several years. There are some pretty small pieces that could get lost.

Hi Kayliegh, I bought these trains for my preschool. They are solid hard wood, very well constructed and they have held up wonderfully for better than a year of daily playing by 12 children. I expect them to hold up for years to come. I am extremely pleased with them. They are very much worth buying. Cynthia, Miss Puddle Duck's Day Care

Yes. I have a daycare and they have lived up to there durability. Also I have seven nieces and nephews are ages 2-13 and they sleep in them just fine

If your child is not destructive it will last them. I got this for my 7yr old she loved it at first. Better for younger children. She lost interest fast.

As long as the child still has their active imagination, they would love it. My daughter will be 7 this year, and she still plays with her dolls in it.

They seem very durable. Of course my 3 year old granddaughter dances with them, trips on them, wraps her dolls in them, ties them in a string to make multiple colored skirt and amazing enough, the hems of the scarves are still just like new.

I think the larger Lalaloopsy dolls are probably better for 4-year-olds and up. We got our daughter her first one at six. They are somewhat big and the heads are a bit heavy. Still a little one would have fun. Maybe try a smaller version, but not the teeny tiny ones, as they might be choking hazards.
