Safety and Use Policy
Last Updated: August 14, 2026
At Reborns Baby Boutique, customer safety and responsible product use are important. Reborn baby dolls are highly detailed products that may contain delicate materials, small accessories, magnets, weighted components, rooted hair, painted surfaces, and other realistic features.
This Safety and Use Policy provides important guidance for the handling, care, storage, and responsible use of products purchased through rebornsbabyboutique.com.
Customers should review individual product descriptions and any instructions supplied with their purchase because materials, construction, and accessories may vary between dolls.
1. Intended Use of Reborn Baby Dolls
Reborn baby dolls may be purchased for collecting, display, photography, creative activities, gifting, or gentle recreational use.
Because some dolls are designed primarily as collectible items rather than conventional children’s toys, appropriate supervision and handling should always be considered.
A product’s recommended age, materials, and included accessories should be reviewed before it is given to a child.
2. Adult Supervision
Where a reborn doll is used by a child, appropriate adult supervision is recommended.
Some products may contain components that could become detached through rough or inappropriate handling. Furthermore, clothing accessories, pacifiers, jewelry, bottles, hair accessories, or other decorative pieces may be unsuitable for very young children.
Children should therefore be supervised according to their age, ability, and the characteristics of the individual product.
3. Small Parts and Choking Hazards
Certain dolls or accessory sets may contain small components.
These may include:
-
Pacifiers
-
Buttons
-
Hair accessories
-
Jewelry
-
Bottle components
-
Decorative items
-
Magnets
-
Removable clothing accessories
-
Other small detachable pieces
Small components should be kept away from babies and young children because a choking hazard may be presented if they are swallowed or placed in the mouth.
Accessories should be inspected regularly. If an item becomes damaged, loose, or detached, it should be removed from use.
4. Magnetic Components
Some reborn dolls may use magnets to hold pacifiers or other accessories in position.
Strong magnets can present special risks if swallowed. Therefore, loose magnets should never be accessible to children.
Additionally, people who use implanted medical devices, including certain pacemakers or other magnet-sensitive devices, should exercise caution around magnetic accessories and follow the guidance provided by their medical-device manufacturer or healthcare professional.
If a magnet becomes loose, the doll or accessory should not be used until the issue has been addressed safely.
5. Weighted Reborn Dolls
Some reborn dolls may contain weighted materials that are used to create a more realistic holding experience.
Weighted dolls should always be lifted carefully and supported appropriately.
Young children should not be allowed to carry a doll that is too heavy for them. Likewise, a weighted doll should never be placed on a baby, sleeping child, animal, or anyone who may be unable to move it independently.
A reborn doll should never be used as a substitute for an actual infant or as childcare equipment.
6. Never Place a Reborn Doll in a Real Baby’s Sleeping Area
For safety reasons, reborn dolls, clothing, blankets, accessories, packaging, and decorative items should not be placed inside a sleeping infant’s crib, bassinet, or other sleep space.
Reborn dolls are collectibles or play/display products and are not baby sleep products.
They should never be used as:
-
Infant sleep aids
-
Crib accessories
-
Baby positioning devices
-
Feeding equipment
-
Child restraints
-
Car-seat accessories
-
Safety devices
Products should always be used only for their intended purpose.
7. Safe Handling
Reborn dolls should be handled gently.
The head, neck, arms, and legs should be supported when necessary, particularly when a doll has a weighted cloth body.
Pulling, twisting, throwing, squeezing, or forcefully bending the doll should be avoided because damage may be caused to joints, paintwork, filling, limbs, or internal components.
Furthermore, the doll should not be carried by a single arm, leg, or other delicate component.
8. Vinyl Doll Safety and Care
Vinyl reborn dolls should be protected from excessive heat, direct sunlight, harsh chemicals, and abrasive surfaces.
The vinyl should not be exposed to:
-
Open flames
-
Heaters
-
Hair dryers
-
Hot vehicles
-
Boiling water
-
Strong solvents
-
Bleach
-
Acetone
-
Abrasive cleaners
Extreme temperatures may damage or permanently alter vinyl materials.
Gentle handling should therefore be maintained to preserve the doll’s appearance and structural integrity.
9. Silicone Doll Safety and Care
Silicone reborn dolls may be softer and more flexible than vinyl dolls. Consequently, additional care may be required.
Silicone should not be aggressively stretched, pulled, scratched, or pierced.
Sharp jewelry, long fingernails, pet claws, and rough surfaces should be kept away from delicate silicone areas.
Unless specifically stated by the manufacturer, oils, lotions, cosmetics, adhesives, or household cleaning products should not be applied to the doll.
Only care methods recommended for the individual product should be used.
10. Cleaning Your Reborn Doll
Cleaning should always be performed carefully.
In most cases, gentle surface cleaning may be sufficient. Excessive water, soaking, scrubbing, or harsh cleaning chemicals should be avoided unless the product has specifically been designed for such treatment.
Before cleaning:
-
Review the product’s material
-
Check any supplied care instructions
-
Remove delicate accessories
-
Avoid excessive pressure
-
Test suitable cleaning methods carefully
Cloth-bodied dolls should generally not be submerged in water because internal filling or weighting materials may be affected.
11. Bathing Reborn Dolls
A reborn doll should only be placed in water when the individual product has specifically been described as suitable for bathing or water use.
Many reborn dolls are not designed for full immersion.
Weighted cloth bodies, internal materials, rooted hair, adhesives, magnets, and painted surfaces may be damaged by excessive water.
Customers should therefore never assume that a realistic-looking baby doll can safely be bathed.
Product-specific instructions should always be followed.
12. Rooted Hair Care
Rooted hair can be delicate and should be treated gently.
A soft baby brush or suitable comb may be used where appropriate. Excessive brushing, pulling, styling, washing, or heat treatment should be avoided.
Hair dryers, curling irons, straighteners, chemical hair treatments, permanent dyes, and other heated styling tools should not be used unless the doll manufacturer specifically confirms that they are safe.
Rooted hair should never be pulled intentionally because individual strands may become detached.
13. Painted Hair
Where hair has been painted onto the doll, aggressive rubbing or scraping should be avoided.
Painted details should be treated as part of the doll’s artistic finish.
Harsh cleaning products and abrasive materials may damage these features.
14. Clothing and Accessories
Baby clothing may often be used on appropriately sized reborn dolls. However, clothing should be fitted gently.
Extremely tight garments may rub against painted surfaces or place pressure on delicate limbs.
Dark or strongly dyed fabrics may also transfer color onto certain doll materials. Therefore, new clothing may be washed separately before being placed on the doll when appropriate.
Sharp pins, exposed wires, or damaged accessories should not be used.
15. Avoid Fire and Extreme Heat
Reborn dolls and their accessories should be kept away from open flames and high-temperature environments.
Products should not be placed near:
-
Candles
-
Fireplaces
-
Cooking appliances
-
Space heaters
-
Radiators
-
Open flames
-
Excessively hot surfaces
Dolls should also not be left inside extremely hot vehicles or exposed to prolonged direct sunlight.
16. Avoid Excessive Moisture
Unless a doll has specifically been designed for water use, prolonged moisture should be avoided.
Water may affect:
-
Internal stuffing
-
Weighting materials
-
Adhesives
-
Paint finishes
-
Rooted hair
-
Cloth bodies
-
Magnetic components
If a doll accidentally becomes wet, it should be handled according to the appropriate material-specific care instructions.
17. Keep Away From Pets
Reborn dolls and their accessories should be stored away from pets.
Dogs, cats, and other animals may chew, scratch, swallow, or damage small components.
Certain internal materials or accessories could also create a hazard if consumed by an animal.
18. Safe Storage
When a reborn doll is not being used, it should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
A suitable storage location should be:
-
Away from direct sunlight
-
Away from excessive heat
-
Protected from moisture
-
Protected from dust
-
Away from pets
-
Away from very young children where small accessories are present
-
Free from heavy objects that could deform the doll
Soft blankets or protective materials may be used where appropriate, provided they do not transfer color or damage the doll’s surface.
19. Packaging Safety
Plastic bags, protective wrapping, ties, foam, and other packaging materials should be kept away from babies and young children.
Packaging materials are provided for shipping and product protection and should not be treated as toys.
Once an order has been unpacked, unnecessary packaging should be stored safely or disposed of responsibly.
20. Food and Drink
Reborn dolls should not be fed real food or beverages unless a particular product has specifically been designed for that purpose.
Decorative bottles, pacifiers, or feeding accessories supplied with a doll may be intended only for display or pretend use.
Liquids introduced into a doll that is not designed for feeding may cause internal damage, mold, staining, or deterioration.
21. Cosmetics, Oils, and Lotions
Real baby products should not automatically be assumed to be suitable for reborn dolls.
Baby oils, lotions, powders, perfumes, makeup, creams, disinfectants, or cosmetic products may react with vinyl, silicone, paint, or other materials.
Only products specifically recommended for the doll’s material should be used.
22. Modification and Repairs
Customers should exercise caution before modifying a reborn doll.
Cutting, piercing, repainting, re-rooting hair, opening the body, replacing internal filling, altering magnets, or making structural changes may permanently affect the product.
Additionally, modifications may affect return, refund, or warranty eligibility where applicable.
Repairs should ideally be performed by someone experienced with the relevant doll material and construction.
23. Photography and Display Safety
Reborn dolls can be used for photography and creative displays. However, safe positioning should always be maintained.
Dolls should not be balanced on unstable surfaces, ledges, high shelves, or locations where they could fall and injure someone or become damaged.
Photography props should also be checked for stability before use.
24. Reborn Dolls Are Not Medical Products
Reborn dolls sold through Reborns Baby Boutique are not medical devices unless a specific product is expressly identified and legally marketed as such.
No doll should be used as a replacement for professional medical care, psychological treatment, childcare, or medical equipment.
Any health-related concerns should be discussed with an appropriately qualified professional.
25. Allergies and Material Sensitivities
Customers with known sensitivities or allergies should review available product material information before purchasing or handling a doll.
Dolls may contain various materials, including vinyl, silicone, synthetic fibers, fabrics, filling materials, adhesives, paints, metals, or magnets.
If irritation or an unexpected reaction occurs, use should be discontinued and appropriate professional advice should be sought where necessary.
26. Product Inspection
Products should periodically be inspected for signs of damage.
Particular attention should be given to:
-
Loose accessories
-
Exposed magnets
-
Torn fabric
-
Damaged limbs
-
Loose eyes or decorative components
-
Leaking filling material
-
Broken fasteners
If a condition presents a possible safety risk, use should be discontinued until the product has been repaired or safely secured.
27. Age Recommendations
Age recommendations may differ between products.
Customers should always review the individual product listing before purchasing a reborn doll for a child.
Where small parts, magnets, delicate materials, or collectible components are included, the product may be more appropriate for older children, teenagers, or adult collectors.
28. Responsible Product Use
Customers are responsible for using products in a reasonable manner and following applicable safety and care instructions.
Improper handling may damage a product and may also create avoidable safety risks.
Reborns Baby Boutique encourages all customers to read product information carefully before use.
29. Reporting a Product Safety Concern
