renting a boat with a 2 yr old?

[snoopy5386]

We are tagging along with DH who will be at a conference at CSR and only doing 1 park in a 5 day trip. I was thinking of renting a mouseboat one afternoon as a fun activity....but I am not sure since it will just be me and DD who is 2. What do you think?
We have rented boats before and always liked it. The other option would be to rent a pontoon boat one of the days when DH is around. Which would you think is better?
Where would you rent? We have done DTD and Seven Seas Lagoon on previous trips.
Thanks

I have been on a Mouseboat with my DH and I would not want to be on one with a 2 yr old. They float pretty low in the water and (at least as far as I recall), there are no seat belts or anything to keep the child seated. I know there is an age restriction for driving them, but I'm not sure if there is any restriction in riding in one.

that is what I was thinking too. I don't think DD would stand up, she is not the type, but I think she might be too scared. I think maybe we will try a bigger boat with DH too.

I wouldn't rent a water mouse with a two year old. They are too low to the water, and two year olds are too unpredictable. It really wouldn't be safe.

I would go with the Pontoon, or canopy boat with a child that age.
