The item was used for about 3-4 months and is in good condition. The baby carrier itself was light and easy to use. The color is black. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but due to the black color and the nature of the fabric, there is some pilling, but it's not very noticeable. It is an authentic product purchased from Akachan Honpo. The original box, instruction manual, warranty card, baby carrier, and everything shown in the photos are included. It has been home-cleaned prior to listing.
