Old Town Dirigo XT 140 Kayak
Great kayak, parents beware

So we bought this kayak for it has a toddler seat in the front. My 2 year old loves kayaking and we took my 5 year old niece and when we got to shore we were rocking it. With her extra weight it flipped over and I fell right out but she was stuck underneath has the toddler seat had her legs trapped in the kayak. It was pretty scary for her. The toddler seat is removable and I would recommend you to in case that happens to you.
Otherwise its a great kayak and tracks really well, and despite my incident it is really stable. The cupholder on the console is hard to reach when your sitting right. I love this kayak.
