This item was given to me during my baby's weaning period. It's compact when rolled up, making it easy to carry around when going out. It was convenient! It's also dishwasher safe, which I recommend. I've only used it a couple of times, so there aren't any noticeable stains, but since it's a used item, I'm selling it at a low price!! I will wash and sterilize it before shipping ◎
