Are high Amazon star ratings enough to judge a baby doll?

They're a starting point, not a verdict. A 4.8-star average across 14,000+ reviews is more informative than a 4.8 across 400 reviews, but Amazon ratings can be inflated and don't capture durability over time. Because the listings we reviewed lacked independent expert or community testing, we treated review volume as the tie-breaker and scored cautiously.
