I personally, would like to know…
The name of the establishment that had recommended that “idiotic” suggestion to you. An email address would much be appreciated, a pone number would be superb!

Why does the kid have to be IN the kayak? How about towing them in an inflatable tube, ducky, or kickboard, presuming of course, calm conditions.
2 kids???
Keep in mind that things are going to be harder and more risky with two kids.

Anyway, given how small hatches are, you aren’t going to be able to do this for too many years.

Manufacturing bubble tops, IF, trim were ok…would be neat to try, but you still run into that thing of the need for oxygen, if flipped for substantial amount of time… $.01
you think life spans were shorter
across the board in previous centuries because of kayaking?
