The pouch is unused and has been kept in its box. Since we didn't use a baby carrier much for our second child, we mainly used it on weekends for our first child, from when they were just over 1 year old until they started walking. We regularly cleaned it at home. The elastic belt that gathers the straps has stretched, but it doesn't affect its use. ☑︎ Regarding used items, we inspect them before listing, but please refrain from purchasing if you are very particular or cannot accept any oversight. We also have other baby items and clothing for sale.
