Hi all,
   I need suggestions for a first kayak for my 6 year old son who is anxious
to get out on the water with dad. He paddles with me in our Old Town
Discovery 146 and actually maneuvers quite well. I would like to get him
something small and stable. Does anyone have children paddling this young?
Would I be better off getting him a sit on top or a large open cockpit? It
would be used on still lakes and some small streams here in Southern New
Jersey.
  Thanks for your help
                 Christian
