Yep! I have one and used it extensively with DS2. The company has changed names so its now called the Boda Wrap. I found it so much more comfortable than the other structured baby carriers. You can wrap baby as tightly or loosely as you both feel is comfortable. Seriously - it was the best baby item that was recommended to me. Can't wait to use it again!
Only issues with it were that, initially - it can be a bit fiddly to get the wrapping sorted - but after a few goes you get really quick at it. And secondly, if you have a summer baby, or close to summer baby, it can get a bit too hot for them. I had DS2 at the end of Oct, and by Dec I could really only wear it inside air conditioning or outside in the evenings or cooler days. (I always took it with me grocery shopping!)
Would be ideal for a winter baby, or baby born at the end of summer, as you would then be able to wear it right throughout Autumn, winter and into spring.
Hope this helps!

PS - it does of course encourage them to sleep! Just like being in the womb...
stretchy wraps like this are the bomb for newborns. :) There are several brands around, all basically the same thing. maybe have a look and see if there's a particular colour you like
