Last year we purchases 2 -6' youth lifetime for our boys and we wanted to join the fun. We have only had the new 8' kayaks out 1 time but so far very please.

I surprised my husband and 3 teenage boys with these for Christmas. We LOVE them. These are definitely worth the money. Easy to use, lightweight. I will be purchasing one for myself with an extra seat for our 4 year old. YES, you should get these!

I bought this kayak because I am 5'2" and wanted something small enough that i could load on top of my car roof rack by myself (I'm a 66 y.o. woman). I read all the reviews and have found them to be right on. It tracks well for a relatively short kayak and is very stable. It is for flat water , which is all I wanted and I have no complaints. Lots of you tube videos show different ways to load a kayak. I found the best one for me and I'm happy with my purchase.

Returned because the kayak in the photos is not the same as was received. The one I picked up did not have a handle on the side, the seat was a hard molded seat with a flimsy metal hinge attaching it to the kayak, and the molding was/shape was different. The paperwork was all correct, it had a "lotus" sticker on it. Disappointed.

I recently had lost the attachment that holds the shock cord in place on my kayak. When I contacted the customer service dept, they were quick to reply and notify me that, they located the replacement part and would be mailing it to me FREE of charge! Thankful that there are still some companies that will stand behind their products! Great job lifetime.

I have both a good sit in and good sit on. Grandchildren coming so needed one more so everyone could have their own. The reviews on line for this one were sort of all over the place. But overall it seemed folks would buy it again. I was able to have it sent directly to my local Walmart and it arrived before the promised date. No damage or problems at all (which some reviews spoke to having). I was actually able to get it in my Murano although the front touched the dash. But as single woman, love to be able to get it myself. Got it in the water, and it is sweet. I used one of my good paddles as think paddle not the best, but probably ok. Had a little trouble, out on the water, getting the seat to sit up more, but I accomplished. Took it for a spin and because it is flat and light, it went right over some rather shallow places. i was happy with that. Overall, love it and will probably use it myself over the much more expensive, and heavy to get down to lake ones.

I received this kayak three years ago as a gift and I have had so much fun with it! It is incredibly stable (my grandchildren climb off and on it with me and it barely rocks), tracks nicely on our lake and has all the features I wanted for flat water. The customer service from Lifetime has been exemplary. I have only had two issues in three years - the front handle broke and the drain plug tether broke resulting in the loss of the drain plug. Both times it was easy to contact Lifetime and they quickly sent me replacements and their agents were very pleasant. I also purchased Lifetime children's kayaks for my grandchildren from which they have received many hours of entertainment.

We purchased 2 of these kayaked about 6 weeks ago. These have been perfect forour 4 grands ages 6-13 as well as adults. The grands can easily fit 2 in each one and have a blast! We adultscan do a leisurely paddle on the lake and they stay very stable even when we encounter the wave action from boats. We highly recommend them for all ages.

We bought 6 of your kayaks (4 smaller and 2 larger) almost 10 years ago for our children and grandchildren to use on our pond. They have been used and sometimes abused, but still look new and shinny! Without a doubt your customer support is top notch.... when one of the grandkids unscrewed the plugs... one quick phone call and you had replacement plugs in the mail to us! Thank you, Alabama grandmother

My Kayak arrived in a loose plastic wrap that was torn open and very loose making it difficult to handle and move about. Also one of the plastic loops that holds the bungee cord to store item while in use was broken during shipment. I will contact customer service and see if they can ship a replacement.
