I used to fold it up small and put it in a drawstring bag, carrying it with me when I went out with my child. I didn't use it very often, but it was convenient to have in case of emergencies(^^) I've washed it several times, so it shows some signs of use, but there are no stains and I think it's in good condition. The buckle is also in good condition and fastens securely. I hope to pass it on to someone who needs it.
