I started out with a sit inside tandem with the idea that my daughter would go with me sometimes. It was a good concept in terms of support for the purchase, but she only came out once. Now I have an Adventure and love it. Fishing is my time.
On a side note, I worked in a bike shop in LJ when I was in college. Whenever guys would come shopping for a Tandem we'd take bets on how long till he's back trying to sell it to us. It seems that tandem bikes are a very reliable predictor of divorce. Somewhere between marriage counseling and the private detectives they'd all end up in the bike shop...
Anyway...If I were you I'd buy a revolution and keep your current kayak. When your daughter wants to come along you put her in the revo and you paddle. My daughter is 12 now and can peddle the adventure on her own just fine.
Oh, and go to one of the OEX shops that has hobies with your kid and try them out.
