Thanks for that info. The seat in the link has 2 built in rod holders and looks pretty good for a child. I've been shopping around for 2 yaks (a single and a tandem sit on top) so I could fish by myself, with my son (3 1/2 y.o.), or go out with my wife and son. I'll have to check out the Malibu tandem with that jump seat.

I would think a tandem would be the way to go, but that front hatch seat is a great idea, and if he really likes it, you could always get him one when he' s old enough to paddle it himself.

That jump seat does look interesting and may be a good way to start out. I also see needing to wear a protective armored suit so I don't get a Point Jude tin in the eye

I'm thinking for next year but I wanted to plant the seed in my mind as far as options go - thanks!
