Let's see I've got a 3 and a 6 year old.... For the whole family we use a Wenonah Jensen 17 for day trips. For an overnighter I would take our Old Town tripper. As for 4 people in one kayak - they could build a Kodiak triple ( http://www.arctickayaks.com/PlansKodiak_3Kayak.htm ) or a Dyson triple with an oversized center cockpit ;-) Having paddled one of those beasties they would be safer in it than any canoe I've used. Alternatively they could buy a pair of double kayaks.
