between you and your kid, you will put a lot of water in the cockpit of the trident.  X factor with gator seat sounds like a better choice.

Check with Black Ab, he has that set-up and has used it with kids.

The X is really really stable, and I've had a 100 pound kid fishing with me on the Gator Hatch in the ocean - no problem.  I'm 6' / 200# and take lots of gear.
