Hi, I am looking for a way to going kayaking with my 6 month old baby. I have a Hobie outfitter. Is there anyone who has done it? |

Not sure how safe this would be...maybe in very calm waters like a pond or lake? I want to take my dog out on my kayak and Im scared they might drown if I capsize!

It would be flat water I would be taking my son on and with a baby life jacket. I feel the kayak is stable enough to take him on, just trying to find out ways to take him safely and still use the dual mirage drive units. |

I think it was posted on here or KFS where someone attached a seat in the rear cargo area... |

I have seen the pictures of a traditional seat in the cargo area and that would be fine for a child, but I need my baby in front so I can keep my eyes on him. The shop has said that I can either hold him in front or even use a baby sling to keep him in front. He feels that the stability is so good, there is no chance of tipping over, I could even get the Side Kick Ama kit to ensure stability. Anyone else with any other thoughts out there? |

I'm 15, and have gone out once on my AI with my 9-year old cousin, and we did fine, except that she kept on getting her hair caught in the pulleys... i kind of wish i could have tipped over (but that's the non-existant big brother side of me)... anyways, it was alot of fun... |
