I've got a 3 year old. I take him out regularly in canoes but haven't got a kayak solution I'm happy with. I've been meaning to build an small greenland style kayak for him. With the intention of using his kayak as an amas (outrigger) for my boat. That way if he paddles wonderful if not he's where I can see him. My wife would follow us around in her kayak. Also be sure to have your child do some swimming in the pfd so they don't freak if they fall in, plus I've heard of a child trying a pfd and discovering that they floated head down!!! Also I modified my sons pfd so that it would be more comfortable when he's just sitting boat. Thus far the best canoe solution has been to have him play in the middle of our Old Town tripper while I pole. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jun 25 1999 - 11:23:44 PDT
