Thank you for looking! ^_^ I think this can be used for a long time, from baby to toddler. It's versatile, such as after a bath! The color looks different depending on the light, but it's about the color of the second photo, maybe a little darker? It will be that kind of color! Brand new, unused. When shipping, I will remove the box and ship it neatly with a transparent cover like the second photo. We are looking forward to your inquiries! ^_^♪
