I believe I used it for about 3 months. I wanted to use it for baby food, but it ended up being a toy for playing, so I gave up. I have never used the waist belt. Since I started having meals at the table, I wiped the Bumbo with alcohol disinfectant wipes and stored it. (I plan to disinfect it again before shipping) I have listed it as "no noticeable scratches or stains"... However, I think everyone's perception is different, so if you have any concerns or points you'd like to confirm, please comment in advance. I want to make sure you are satisfied. I will put it in the original box it came in, and after taking measures to prevent water damage, I plan to send it wrapped in corrugated cardboard. ↓↓↓ A gray Bumbo baby seat with a stable sitting experience. - Brand: Bumbo - Color: Gray - Type: Baby seat - Features: Stable sitting experience - Material: Plastic Thank you for viewing.
