I take mine out occasionally, not as much as I used to though for a few reasons. 1- im 15 so Iâll get some dirty looks when I take them out (teen pregnancy lol) 2- I have a surplus of siblings so theres already enough kids without a fake one coming along!
Here are pictures from when I have taken them out. These are dolls from 2020-2021 when I was first starting out
(This one was taken in Kroger, they have great lighting!!)

I love that, a surplus of siblings 
Very pretty babies and nice lighting on Maddieâs face! Itâs hard for me to get the best lighting that really shows true coloring and all the details, so I get excited for that too lol
I so wish I had known the art of reborning when I was your age. I knew of the dolls themselves but never knew that it was not box stores making them.

Thanks! Yes, my keeper Elyse. If I leave her in the car briefly I make sure to throw a blanket over her

Before Covid I used to take my babies out all the time, just not if I was in a hurry because once people find out itâs a doll, it takes forever to get out of the store. I took one into Walmart and shut down 2 check stands because everybody wanted to see it when they heard it wasnât a real baby. I took a toddler one with me to a restaurant and was asked if I needed a booster seat. These times were fun. Airport security was not. When I put it in the bin there was a collective gasp behind me until I said âItâs a dollâ. Then everybody wanted to see it.Security stripped the doll, swabbed it, scanned it and gave it back to me naked. They were careful with it, though.
I really enjoy taking my babies out. Itâs great advertising and peopleâs reactions are very validating. I always take a handful of business cards with me. I never leave my babies in the car. I donât want them stolen or have my windows smashed to get the âbabyâ out.

All of your babies look so reaI.
I have only taken mine out when I was moving across country. Saskia was new to me and in a craft case.
@RosieCait I really love that crochet doll with the mask. Did you make it? I need one.

Iâm not much on attention, so I donât take mine out. I have been with my niece when she was young and carried around the one I made for her, definitely an attention grabber lol.
I have been thinking of taking 7 month June shopping for clothes when sheâs finished, if I can get up the nerve to

I took a few dolls to Ohio with me in my grandmas honor when she passed away. I took one in to her wake and a lot of the ladies found it comforting. I gave my Christopher to my aunt because she got attached and it helped her grieve over her son she lost. She named him Steven after him. He was 26 when he drown in geauga lake. Another aunt asked me to make one for her grand daughter and my cousin had me make two for her daughter. So I guess that worked out good 
. I was super nervous taking one to the wake though but since my grandma was a huge toy collector and had a bunch of store bought play dolls in the nursing home I figured it would be a way to remember her.

My apologies for my above post, I said I donât take my babies out in public, I lied. I donât take them to stores etc. but I have taken them to the ROSE doll show and therefore had to fly with them-----So, I have had them out in public at the airport. The ROSE show doesnât count because EVERYBODY has a baby there. I try to dress them in something âshortâ so their legs and arms are bare, that way when security âswabsâ them they donât have to undress them and I donât have to waste time dressing them back up. Security is very gentle with them though, they know they are expensive âtoysâ.

I have on occassion but have had som interesting experiences. I left my baby in the front seat to go into a store and 3 men came in to use the phone to report a baby left in a car. Another left baby in back of subaru , got groceries , the girl carried them out and when I rolled back my back cover she screamed , you left your baby out here in the heat. Last one Iâm in produce and an older gentleman came by and said what a beautiful baby then went on to say he would never be a grandfather because his daughter didnât want to have children. I felt so bad I didnât have the heart to tell him it was a doll. So if you are in a hurry donât take a baby with you, do take cards, and be prepared for strange questions and looks. I spent 40 minutes in a Subway store while everyone took a photo with my baby and one guy a new father to be freaked, he wanted to hold it and screamed my god its not breathing, anything can and will happen. LOL
