Also we had a seat that was for the dinner table that you strap to a chair. I would strap that in the seat on the bridge on the Ocean Yacht with the baby straped in so the wife could handle some lines and the baby was straped in the seat next to me when we were docking. I wish i had pics of that.

My son rode under the dash of my old 24 Skater at 6 months in his car seat on the floor. Now he is 18 and I have to relenqish the wheel to him and just throttle our 28' Skater. It will be interesting when this summer as I'm sure he will want to throttle now.

I had a 25ft "pocket cruiser" when my first was born. he was born on a Tuesday, we had him out the following weekend (12 days old). I know a couple that had a 34 ft cruiser and she left the hospital with her third kid on a friday......went straight to the boat for the weekend!

My son just turned four months and i do have a lfe jacket that i spent some good money on to be able to takehim out with us. Just curious as when is to young to take him on the boat. When did everybody else start out the young ones. Im kinda skeptical but the wife is all excited to get him on his first boat ride. I thought it would be the other way around with me trying to get him in their. Planning an easy cruise down the intercoastal to caps for lunch with two other boats. Is it a little to early?? PLease go easy. Just looking for some opinions

My son was born in January so he was 4-5 months old. Our daughter is going to be born in May so I am assuming it will be a lot younger then that (depends on when I get the boat ready). My wife said as long as we are in a pontoon or the Formula or something large she is OK with it. She is totally against the Donzi.
