A baby doll that was initially delivered to shops 17 years ago is among the toys most probably to cause parents sleepless nights this Christmas, retailers said today.
The Baby Born with Magic Potty is one of 12 items expected to fly off the shelves, according to a list of best sellers predicted by the Toy Retailers Association (TRA).
Launched in 1991, the crying, potty-going doll was the first to boast human functions and the latest version retails with a flashing, musical potty for a recommended £33.99.

After all, the Sesame Street toy is Elmo Live, an all-singing all-dancing version of the cute red puppet, while the Clone Trooper Voice Changer allows wearers of the helmet to sound like a Star Wars character.
