I purchased this from the official website and used it about twice for round trips to Hawaii. While there are no noticeable stains, the nature of the fabric makes the folding creases quite visible. The edges are unfinished, so there is some fraying of the threads from the beginning. I inflated it for the listing, and it functions perfectly fine, so please feel free to purchase with confidence. ★ The box and instructions are not included. ★ Regarding the condition of the item: I have marked it as "No noticeable scratches or stains" as there are no stains or damage that would hinder its use. This is a used item, so I do not recommend it to those seeking an item in new condition. From the official website: The Fly Tot was developed for children who have trouble sleeping on long flights. Simply inflate it to create a soft, fluffy cushion that turns the seat into a flat space. It provides comfort comparable to business class, even in economy. It reduces fussiness in children, lessening the burden on parents, and making the trip more comfortable for both parents. It's foldable, making it very convenient and easy to carry around.
