This is a baby carrier from Lacuna. It says it can be used from 1 month old. It's convenient because it supports the baby's neck well. It's small, so I think it can be used until the baby is about six months old. There are no scratches or stains, but there is some pilling (which looks like it can be removed) and a feeling of use, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It will be compressed and packaged for shipping.
