My kids are 3 and 4 now. We took them to swimming lessons over the winter at the YMCA. Made a big difference in their confidence and ability. Can't wait for summer to get here so we can take them to the lake

Do you strap in the baby seat or do you put the kid in with the lief jacket. I would almost fear putting him in the car seat because he can sink with the boat. My idea was to have my wife hold him with his life jacket on and take it easy, I hope no one from the coast guard is reading this.

My son at 2 weeks was out on the CC, at 4 weeks on the Cig. At 1 he graduated to the MTI. All he talks about is Thomas The Train and boat rides. He'll be 3 next Saturday.

Few months old for both of mine. Just kept them in the carseat. My Newbie is two months old now and shell be on the first ride. Now my first two kids 4 and 5 are great on the boat and love the water.
Just be careful for noise. We used to put cotton balls in there ears and put a headband on em. Although the nor tech was pretty loud.
Stay out of the big stuff and keep em covered and out of the sun.
