Purchased around the fall/winter of 2024 and used for 3-4 months, starting when the baby could hold their head up. It was a huge help when I was alone with the baby. It didn't feel cold in the winter, and I could wash it quickly, so I'm glad I had it. It shows signs of use, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition. I plan to send it wrapped in a plastic bag, etc., and then in a cardboard box. Thank you.
