Kangaroo carry?

I am wanting to get a new wrap and debating on length.  I am looking at a gypsy mama wrap for summer and the lady at the store recommended getting a shorter wrap and wrapping my newborn in the Kangaroo carry in order to be the most cool.  For some reason, I may remember reading before DD was born that many newborns hate kangaroo carry but it could have been another carry completely.  Is this true in your experience?

    I always did a tummy to tummy in my ring sling when LO was a newborn for the head support. She's four months now and the kangaroo carry is the only way she's really liking the sling right now.

    For the first 4 months we did tummy to tummy in my baby k'tan. Even now that DD is just over a year she still loves being carried super close on my hip in the ring sling, so she can still snuggle.

    Kangaroo is very popular for NBs in my BW group. That said, it doesn't feel good on my pikcy back, so I have never used it. I do FWCC and if you bunch the crosses under baby's bum rather than spreading them out, I think it is just as cool for baby. Baby is positioned similarily in both--upright and tummy-to-chest/tummy with you.

    That is something I hadn't thought of!  I also have a not so great back so I need all the support I can get.  I also forgot about their being a Kangaroo carry in the ring sling that faces out which is different than the one for wrapping.  I might just have to wait until the baby gets here and try out the carry before ordering a wrap.  I so just want to get the wrap!!
