The logo has been changed several times to prevent counterfeiting, but this is an authentic product. Includes instructions and a serial number. I often used a stroller before my baby could hold their head up, so I only used the infant insert a few times. There is a faint stain in one place, but it's not very noticeable due to the pattern. Individual perceptions may vary, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this.
