I tried a Kangaroo early in carry days. The theory behind it is excellent (soft = comfortable) but, in the end, I returned it. At the time I was 30 pounds heavier and there was NOTHING about my body that I was comfortable with...so almost nothing was right. Might be worth giving it another try with a thinner profiled carry. Of course, I have a thinner body now, too!
If you're comfy with it and it serves the purpose, then I'm sure you'll be pleased. Good idea to 'practice' around the house!
