Club Chelsea™ Doll & Playset
Product Details
Web ID: 11306105Beautiful colours
Strong plastic with beautiful colours. Lovely little set, especially the bumper cars. The wheel seats stick and barbie ends up upside down! The balloon stand just falls over and the balloons end up being lollipops in my kids mouths! Another barbie in the pack would be more fun so that children can play together instead of just one little barbie with lots of fun fare items.

Ok
Bought this for my daughter and was a little disappointed. Only one doll makes carnival ride a bit sad, liked the number cars but again would be better with 2 dolls. Apart from carnival wheel and number cards the other parts are cheap plastic and easily breakable for little hands.

Perfect playset
I got this a month ago, and was extremely excited when it arrived the packaging it colourful and shows exactly how you can use it , the little Ferris wheel fits Chelsea perfectly and spins and the bumper cars are a perfect addition to any fairground. Very sturdy pieces and stands up on carpet securely to add to play experience

Hours of fun with Chelsea
I have received the play set for the purpose of this review. My little girl was excited to open it as soon as she saw it and started playing with it straight away. The doll is great and I think she gets the most play time together with the little pets and teddies included. Carousel had one of the safety arms misshapen - it was not snapped off so must have been slight manufacturing defect- however this did not take away from functionality of the product. My daughter had great fun wheeling Chelsea and her pets/toys around and pretending they were shopping at the fair. Few weeks on, the play set still gets attention, however not as much as the lovely Chelsea doll with the go carts. All in all I would recommend the set to all barbie fans. It’s great fun coming up with stories and different scenarios and definitely would consider buying more sets in future

Great interactive set
This is a lovely little set that my children have really enjoyed playing with. The little Barbie, bumper cars and the big wheel were definitely the favourite parts and really encouraged the children to use their imaginations in play. There were a couple of smaller accessories that my 3 & 5 year old had trouble with setting up such as the hanging wheel, sunglasses and hat for Barbie. Also, I fear these will probably get lost from the set in our household along the way! Overall, I thought this was a great set with plenty of great features and hours of imaginative play built in. It captured the attention of both my girl and my boy. I also liked that there is the option to buy additional Barbies for the set making it something that can grow and be adapted and used for further play.

Great for imaginative play
I received this a few weeks ago and my 3 year old daughter has not stopped playing with it! The figure and cars are a great size for little hands and there is lots for imaginative play. It only comes with one figure but she used some of her other small sized toys to join in the fun fair. There were no instructions for set up and putting the doll on the Ferris wheel can be a little bit tricky but was simple enough to figure out. Will definitely be looking to get some of the other sets!

Room for improvement
The packaging stands out quite well, it shows off that famous Barbie pink with good logo placement. The package images are bright clear and colourful and give good detail of what is in the box and how it looks fully assembled. the card element of the packaging unfolds into one piece which is good for dismantling and recycling however you would not be able to reuse it to store the product. the Ferris wheel is attached with a few little plastic ties, these could be done without as they could easily be misplaced and be a hazard. on to the elements of the toy, the Chelsea mermaid face hole. it is very sturdy and a nice design on the card that fits at the front. however, the card itself is too big to sit true on the plastic housing so it protrudes with bends around the head of the mermaid overall a very poor fit needing better Quality control. the Ferris wheel base and seatbelts fit together very well and stay in place. the seats don't articulate very well even with the doll sitting in place so she almost tilts at 90 degrees before self righting. its also annoying that barbie cannot sit in the wheel without removing her peak and sunglasses first. the wheel of fortune game stall is a very nice piece it fits together well and the spinning wheel element works properly and can be sun at good speed. the animal prizes are also very well made and detailed and look good assembled on the prize stand together. the balloon store needs work, it has four holes but you only need three of these the balloons themselves feel solid apart from the stems which feel a bit flimsy and are not easy to slot into place, over time the plastic will be worn away or they will snap off. the pinwheel accessory is just ridiculously flimsy and it does not sit properly on the stand it looks rather sad. remove it/improve it/ or add a third balloon or maybe a cotton candy stick. address that fourth hole, the cash register doesn't attach in any way so maybe address this. The bumper cars are both very well made, nice colours and wheel action it is also nice that the steering wheel moves and the heart painted detail is a nice touch. last but certainly not least is Barbie herself. the doll fits well with the set and seats well in the bumper cars and Ferris wheel. it would be nice if she could stand unaided. the painted camera on her torso is not very well done it has scratch marks and the paint would rub/chip away very easily in no time at all. the doll is easily poseable and the long blond hair is nicely styled once it adjusts to being out the packaging. the skirt needs attention, it is an uneven fit varying in lengths the fabric at the hem of the skirt shows signs of fraying even fresh out the box so this probably wont last long at all. the peak and sunglasses fit well together and sit on her head fairly sturdily. Overall it could be a good product but it does need work in the areas I have highlighted and there is evidence of poor quality control as it is now, I wouldn't buy it or recommend it to anyone but with a few tweaks it would be a very nice addition to the Barbie repertoire.
