Canoes
are a great way to take children into the
wilderness.
Regardless
of their age, kids will want to feel like their part of
the trip and parents need to be prepared to accommodate
them. The canoe above is being paddle backwards to the
way it was desgined. The child in the front is actually
sitting in the stern seat. By arranging the canoe this
way, it accomplishes two important goals. The weight
distribution is more even, which makes the canoe easier
to paddle and the child is able to sit on a much narrower
seat, which makes it easier for them to reach the
water.
This
will improve everyone's enjoyment of a paddling
adventure.
