I purchased this here last year ^ ^ It was incredibly useful for quick trips, like going to the convenience store by car or picking up my eldest son. (I always kept it in the car!) There were many times when a baby carrier was too much hassle, but carrying the baby was difficult... I highly recommend this to anyone in a similar situation! And above all, the way the baby looks in it is so cute, I got so many compliments (lol). The feeling of being wrapped up seems to give the baby a sense of security, and it was a lifesaver for both of us♩ There are no noticeable stains from when I received it, but there are some areas where the color has faded slightly, like from sun exposure. However, since I only used it for short periods, it didn't bother me much◎ I have washed it once. (No pets or smokers♩) Please understand that this is a used item before considering a purchase ^ ^
