Barbie dolls are becoming more and more inclusive. The most recent series from Mattel features dolls with vitiligo and prosthetic limbs. Now, all future campers, Dreamhouses and other Barbie homes will be wheelchair-accessible.
The new Dreamhouse design looks the same as the old one with one exception. The elevator has been made larger with a tiny sloped ramp so Barbie can roll her wheelchair right up and in.
These changes will be made on all new production going forward, meaning that the current store availability will not reflect the changes.
