Some people like this for:
Newborns(No insert!) , warm weather (thin light fabric) , hip carries, sharing with another adult. packability, colour, accessories, great car sling, tie once, pop baby in and out all day. Makes a handy feeding aid.
Some people don't like this:
They can take a little practice, there's a tiny bit of a learning curve.
is often outgrown before baby reaches the maximum weight. overwhelming amount of fabric for some people, 3 layers of jersey can be a bit warm

Boba say this about it:
Use the Boba Wrap from birth to around 18 months, although it will excel in the first 4-6 months. It’s free of buckles, straps and snaps and ties up into the perfect fit every time!
With its unique fabric blend and the no-guesswork tying, the Boba Wrap (standard) is a great choice for beginners and advanced babywearers alike.
