Yes, it’s legit and safe. This is my first time buying a doll of this type, so I can’t give an objective review of other products, but I really like this one. It’s amazing that the touch and hold are so realistic! Use baby powder to make it more realistic. The meat on the face is so cute! Bought this because you can challenge getting dressed. They were able to answer my questions quickly and it’s a good product for the price.
