Unless you plan on taking your kids or a buddy fishing every single time don't buy a tandem, it'll spend more time collecting dust in the garage than it will getting wet......that is unless you have a leaky roof. Get a nice kayak for yourself and buy a beater kayak for your kid, this way if you want to go out alone you won't have to worry about lugging a tandem around town

Or get a Hobie Tandem Island.

Having a nice kayak for yourself and a budget tandem for fun with your kids isn't a terrible idea either. FWIW, my kids rarely want to go with me and I'm usually taking my tandem out solo (especially during the less desireable weather months).
