Kangaroos develop mostly in the pouch.
A baby kangaroo, known as a joey, is born after a gestation period of around 33 days, depending on the species, and upon whether the motehr has utilised embryonic diapause. The joey emerges from the birth canal, much as any mammal young does, but it is completely blind and hairless. Moving by instinct only, it crawls up the mother's fur to the pouch, where it attaches to a teat. The teat then swells in the joey's mouth, securing it through all the mother's movement so it cannot be dislodged, until it has grown for several weeks.
