I work in a baby store and this is by far my favorite carrier for new babies. Great support for the back for mom and great head and body support for baby. If you are planning on buying a carrier for your new baby this is the one that I always recommend.

I loved this for my newborn i bought everything with my kids mainly cause i just love to shop and there were things i wanted to try out i had a few carriers but for when she was 1,2, and 3 months this was the one i used because it was the one that brought her the closest to my body she could feel the heat of my body and have the comfor tof my heart beat YES this is great for your newborn

This is great for newborns up to 3 months at least of us this is when it seems the most effective. Once you have wrapped your baby in this soft jersey wrap for a few minutes you will see how being close to you calms them immediatly wonderful product that has soothed both my children through some of the most fussy times and saved my sanity.
Once the kids get over about 20 pounds i would recommend switching carriers to something with more stucture as the moby does not hold its shape as well and becomes hard on the back.
Every new mom needs this it washes wonderfully and has just the right amount of stretch in to make it easier to wrap then some others of they same type.

It did seem expensive for what is essentially just a long stretchy piece of material.
And it did seem overwhelming at first learning to tie the thing so that is was comfortable for both me and baby.
But when you get it right - WOW! It cradled my newborn and grew with him until he was 2 and would rather walk everywhere himself. I even gave my 5 year old a test ride in it and it held him comfortably for the both of us too (although there is no way I am packing a 5 year old around - lol!)
There are also a number of different ways to tie it and positions for the baby too. Very versatile!

I love love love this wrap carrier! It's quick and easy to use. The stretchy fabric is very cozy-- we love it!
