Barbie Beach Party Doll And Bicycle

This is a HORRIBLE toy!!!!! Do NOT do NOT do NOT buy unless you want to frustrate your child! The bike fell apart as soon as we CAREFULLY got it out of the package (after 15 mintutes of clipping all the elasatic and unwinding all the wires used to hold the bike and doll in place.

The bike does not stand, the handlebars and wheels do not stay attached, the doll will not even sit on the bike unless carefully propped and held so good luck trying to get it to move!

Our 6 year old bought the bike with her birthday money and was so excited when she saw the pretty doll and cute bike in the package but once we (eventually) got it out for her, she was in tears. When we managed to (temporarily) put the bike back together (handlebars back on, wheel back on), she STILL couldn't use it because Barbie will not stay on the bike, EVEN when holding her!

MATTEL should be ASHAMED of itself making a toy that brings disappointment and sadness to a child instead of joy. It needs to be pulled from the shelves before more children are disappointed.

I feel sorry for the children whose parents aren't able to return this piece of junk.

Literally moments after extracting Barbie and bike from the box, a small plastic piece holding the front wheel onto the bike frame broke resulting in the wheel and handlebars falling off (and you can't snap them back into place). There were immediate tears. My daughter has been eyeing this toy for months - what a disappointment! I've now read the other review about its flimsy construction to her and we've agreed we'll take it back to the store and replace it with a different toy.

THe minute this toy is out of the box it falls apart. The pieces don't stay on. The pedals are always falling off. The pedals when they stay on don't pedal like it says. I have to say shame on Mattel for even selling this product...DON"T BUY!!

This set is very fun to play with. THE BIKE: this deserves 2 stars. It was really fun, and mine never lost the pedals. However, the thing that holds Barbie in broke about 2 months after I recieved it. My mom Super-glued the broken piece back on, but it popped back off!!! Yuck, I hate the bike! The Dog: umm, average little puppy WITH sunglasses. Deserves about 3 stars, since it's kinda boring, and it wears sunglasses!!The barbie: THE ONLY REASON I GAVE THIS FOUR STARS!!! She is sooooooo pretty!! The sunglasses are SEWN onto her head, but I ended up cutting them off. They now fit her, on her head, and on her eyes. She has jointed legs, which are SUPER floppy, but I am weird, so I like them. She has layered hair (which is NOT easy to style), a purple helmet, a blue and pink mini dress, slip-on style canvas look shoes, pink leggings, and a purple brush (Which I NEVER use, I ended up using my American Girl wire doll brush, and it works better). Overall, if you are looking for a cute barbie with jointed legs, I would recommend this.

My daughter received this doll for Christmas. Barbie's feet don't stay on the pedals. The bike is flimsy and not strong enough or sturdy enough to support the doll. I don't know if the puppy "bounces in the basket when Barbie rides" as advertised, because the toy doesn't actually work well enough for Barbie to ride it. A total disappointment for my daughter. Because of the construction of the legs for riding the bicycle, the doll doesn't sit or stand properly. So, you can't get it to ride the bike, but you can't make it stand or sit, either. Great. What use is it?
