I used it with a cover. There are no noticeable stains. It's well-made, so you can still use it for a long time. The mesh fabric prevents stuffiness. The color is black, so it matches any mom's outfit. The storage pouch has never been used and is new. You can use it for both front and back carrying. After use, I cleaned it at home and stored it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items. No pets, no smokers. - Color: Black - Accessories: Storage pouch - Material: Mesh fabric - Adjustment function: Adjustable shoulder straps - How to use: Can be used for forward-facing and face-to-face carrying Thank you for looking.
