Which baby doll is best for a 2-year-old?

Threads in r/toddlers and r/moderatelygranolamoms repeatedly recommend smaller, lightweight, soft-bodied dolls around 12 inches for toddlers, noting that bigger reborn-style dolls are heavy and that hard-vinyl faces can hurt if dropped. Simple gift-box starter sets with a bottle and blanket tend to win out for the 2–3 age range.
