This is an authentic Gusket product. I purchased it around December 2023. Shortly after purchase, one of the metal clasp prongs was broken when it got caught in a car door. (See photos 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12) It still fastens even with one prong missing, and there's a loop to further reinforce the clasp, so I used it with my child. There is some staining on the strap. (See photo 6) Please understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home. Please consider this item with no claims accepted.
