We see many boats on the water and used to see many canoes. Now we see mostly kayaks. That must say something? Our neighbors actually got two kayaks that seemed to have a spot in the front where a grandchild could sit. I think a child sat facing the grandparent. Not sure it was an actual seat. They found those kayaks at a very reasonable price on that strip of road between where 104 stops at Rte 3 in Meredith and Route 25 that goes up through Center Harbor. The ones they got on that Rte 3 area were unusual so that is why I mention getting something from a place not near Wolfeboro. The oldest boy now can kayak on his own.
Wilderness kayaks are very non tippy and easy to paddle. My favorites are Pungos but I am not sure if that make is still available? Both seem similar. They really go along very nicely. Would be lost without some here. Think longer rather than shorter 12 or 14 feet. Those five year olds grow pretty fast! Soon she will be out on the water with her teenage friends. Enjoy being her Dad. Dad and daughter time is so valuable!!
