Barbie doll maker to produce first ever disabled doll with scoliosis
Barbie doll maker Mattel has made its first doll with scoliosis.
The toy company’s line for Barbie’s little sister, Chelsea, will have curvature of the spine and a removable back brace, aimed at normalising the equipment and encouraging children to celebrate inclusion.

Lisa McKnight, executive vice president at Mattel, said: “We believe in the power of representation.”
