This is a MiaMily hip seat. I bought it when my daughter turned 1 year old and used it when taking her to and from daycare. I switched to a stroller after about six months, so after that, I only carried it around as a precaution. I didn't use the storage under the hip seat or on the sides of the belt. It comes with a cover to store the backrest. You can still carry a child even when it's stored. (Photo 9) There are some pills on the belt and the rubber band that holds the belt together, but it doesn't affect the use. There are some fiber scraps on the Velcro. Please check the photos. (I don't have any pets.) #HipSeat #MiaMily
