My wife and I took our TWIN boys on the boat at 6 months old. We kind of had no choice..... We live on Cow Island. With a 23 footer and an attentive Mom boating was relatively smooth. It did put them to sleep that is for sure. Someone always had to be holding both boys though.

TomC said it right when he mentioned that the ride up I-93 can be more hazzardous than a well planned out baot trip with an infant. Good Luck!

Nightwing your post intrigue's me a bit. I had heard of this Law of allowing children not to wear PFD's if a boat has a 3 foot high enclosure etc. etc. I thought it was BS. Can anyone interpret or explain this further? Does this apply to runabouts with high freeboard? I would never allow my 3 year old to go without a PFD but this law seems to suggest we could????
