Designed for preschoolers, our parent testers (and their kids) loved this poseable Barbie with its soft-touch body.

Slightly larger than the standard doll, My First Barbie has arms that are simpler to manoeuvre and clothes with hook-and-eye fastenings to encourage independent play.

What our testers said:

• 'My son had a great time playing with it, absolutely loved combing her long hair and putting the headband on. He found it very easy to put the shoes on compared to previous dolls.'
• 'She didn't have to keep coming to me for help to dress and undress the doll as the simple but large clothes fastenings made it easier for little hands.'
• 'My son loves role playing with her. She's been an astronaut, a truck driver and a "bin man".'

Children's skin and hair aren't fully developed until around the age of 12 so it's important to use gentle products at bathtime.

We asked families to trial the dermatologist-tested AVEENO® Kids range, including Bubble Bath & Wash and Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as the Baby Soothing Oat Bath Soak – for babies with sensitive, itchy or eczema-prone skin. And they all got their seal of approval.

What our testers said:

• ‘My daughter's skin already feels softer since using this product.’
• ‘His hair was soft and easy to comb out, which saved me a battle!’
• 'It made the routine quicker for me as I usually use different products on the boys due to their different ages but these products were suitable for both of them.'
