No strong animal smell, as he is portrayed in other skins. The light lamb smell dissipates quickly. Has 5 Gutschlitze and fits well not only in our prams, but also in the buggy essay (we have an ABC Design Cobra). For the infant carrier the coat is slightly too large - which I think is not bad because it is not at all in my opinion (like other vendors extolling) that coat both buggy and stroller and carrycot is equally suitable. For the infant carriers are simply too small. If there were tip-top fit in the baby seat, it would be easy to just for buggy or pram.
