As the proud owner of both of these I can give pretty good feedback. Ok, so baby annabell makes crying noises if you turn her on, which very rarely happens in our house. She's pretty heavy too, very heavy for a young toddler. Baby born is hard bodied so she can go in the bath (a huge hit in my house) and you can feed her water which she will then 'wee' out. Although not the cuddliest of dolls, I think baby born is more fun xx
