No she isn’t too old. My daughter was only mildly interested in dolls when she was 4 or 5. When she was about 8, she became interested in playing with them again. bluefish

No, not if she’s asking for one.

Society tends to force girls to grow up too fast. Good example, Bratz dolls. Target market is 6-10 year old girls. Those dolls are just too tarty for that age group. Susan D

Your daughter needs to be a kid for as long as she wants. At least she’s not asking for a cell phone like some of the nine year olds I know. You don’t want her to grow up too fast do you? my daughter is 7 and she wants a nintendo wii for xmas this year, your lucky that that is all she wants honey. kee

My mother is 83 and collects dolls. My daughter is 11, and has a baby alive doll. You should be happy she still wants to play with them.

I kind of know where your coming from though. Some teens want a baby too soon, so some schools send them home with a baby doll that cries a lot to see if they are ready for the real thing. suzy home maker

No. I think it’s sweet that at 9 she still has her child like innocence and play about her. Let her be little for as long as she wants. Kids grow up too fast these days as it is. At least she’s asking for a doll and stroller rather than tryingn to imitate teenagers on TV or other things. ladedamom

She’s not too old because she asked you. When they stop asking for those type of toys you know that they are getting a bit too old for baby dolls and barbies. Enjoy buying her those type of toys while you can, they grow too fast! Have a wonderful Christmas! Cynthia
