Doll with secret hidden feature divides opinions on Amazon

A doll on sale on Amazon for less than £4 has sparked a debate online thanks to a controversial hidden feature.

Reviews of the £3.89 Dinglong Real Pregnant Doll Suit Mum Doll and Dress have been widely shared on social media, according to MEN.

The doll looks straightforward enough - a heavily pregnant woman in a frilly dress and very high heels.

But on closer inspection the doll includes a secret which is dividing opinion.

It has a detachable belly cap, with a baby inside the doll.

One shopper wrote: "Think this is so wrong. Why do little girls need to know about reproduction, let kids be kids!

"I can understand maybe getting this for your child if you were pregnant and trying to explain to your child, but other than that, no just nooo!"

Another wrote simply: "Too far." and a third: "No wonder girls are getting pregnant from a very young age, they are making this a fashion statement. Let kids grow up naturally like we all did, they are learning from a young age in schools anyway which is not right so why glamourise it??"

A fourth said: "This doll takes the innocent out of little girls."

But not everyone is against the idea. One said: "I initially looked and said omg but then bought it because my little girl will be over the moon with this."

And another added: "Need this."
