easy wrap for short/petite frame

I just don't know if I would like the moby or any other wrap with just one long piece of fabric. No matter how many demos I watch, the wraps like that still intimidate me.
So I am looking for something more along the lines of a k'tan. According to the k'tan sizing on their website, I would be an xs. However, I see some complaints online that k'tan runs a bit large and to get a size smaller than what you would think you'd need...with xs being their smallest size, I don't have another option if that doesn't fit snug on me.
Wondering if anyone can let me know how they liked their k'tan and how well it fit / how secure they felt baby was. Or if you have any other recommendations for an "easy" wrap for a short/petite frame, I'd love to hear it!
FWIW, my main concerns are something for me to wear (doesn't need to fit DH also) during the first few months with a newborn (I'll have something else for a bigger/older baby).
Re: easy wrap for short/petite frame
I don't know anything about the k'tan, but I personally LOVE my Moby. We have a specialty baby store here in our town that sells them and the salesperson helped me to wrap it multiple times before I left the store because I was terrified I wouldn't do it right.
I also let my BF and my neighbor borrow mine (even let my BF borrow my son while she was wearing it) to see if it worked well for each of them before they made the purchase, in case they didn't like it.
Do you have any stores nearby that would let you try out a wrap system before purchase, or have any friends that might let you give theirs a try?
Thanks! That helps to know! I'm 5'2" also and 98 lbs, so if you found the xs a good fit, hopefully I will too!
