- There are baby dolls, soldier dolls, movie-star dolls and,
- of course, Barbie and Ken dolls. Mommy dolls on the career
- track are difficult to find. Or used to be: Cindy Stern, a New
- York City mother of two, watched her children at play and
- decided to create a doll that would broaden a child's
- role-playing fantasies. She and doll-dress designer Sue Ogden,
- a mother of three, created Mommy Doll, now manufactured by
- Tootsietoy of Chicago. Very contemporary Mommy comes with
- business suit, briefcase and baby for "Mommy Off to Work"
- activities, and a leisure outfit and baby carrier for errands.
- Total price: $25. Stern, 35, believes her brainchild offers
- kids the full range of female opportunities in the '90s. Says
- she: "This doll is a reflection of our times."
