We took our 4-year-old last spring and it was totally fine! Gondolas are actually very heavy and surprisingly stable; they don't tip easily at all.
The gondolier was great with our son and made him feel like a little captain. They don't usually provide life jackets as it's a very slow-moving boat, but if you keep them seated in the middle, it's very safe. You can find family-friendly options for Gondola Rides in Venice https://alle.travel/en/venice/category/gondola that are a bit more private, which is better if your kid gets wiggly. Just bring a small toy or snack to keep him occupied while you enjoy the views. It was a highlight for our kids!
