I'm 65 and I bought this for myself. Carrying a big kayak by myself is a bit much now, but this little one is easy to carry, fits inside the car, and stores in my closet. I love it. What I like best about it is that I can just go to the pond, kayak for awhile and come home, without it being a big production like it is with hauling big kayaks around. It says maximum weight of 130, but I weigh about 148, and it works fine for me. Remember to buy kayak plugs for it ! You'll want them.

I haven't taken it out on the water yet since it's still winter- this is for my son. He is turning 6 this year and he loves being in the water and loves outside adventures. I borrowed a friend's kayak last summer for him and loved it. I asked him if he wanted a kayak or a paddleboard since I paddleboard. However he went with the kayak he said it was easier for him to control plus he's sitting down. I can't wait for him to take it out. The quality and price are outstanding.

After seeing these used by other children, my husband and I thought our 2 girls (ages 9 and 5) would love them! We bought 2 through Walmart.com. Walmart.com had the best price out of everyone I checked. I used regular shipping and had them within a week. The first time we used them, we gave the kids a few instructions on how to use one side of the paddle to turn around, but other than that, they caught on immediately! They loved it! We spent hours using them and gave turns to all the kids around us, who caught on quickly and loved them, as well! They fit well in the back of our minivan. When we used our SUV, we put them on the roof and secured with bungee cords. They are lightweight and easy for an adult to carry (finger grooves on the inside). We had the kids carry the paddles. We have a pontoon boat and put them in the middle of the boat with us to transport. When we have more passengers with us, our plan is to secure them on the back of the pontoon with the bungee cords.

Better than expected for a kayak at this price. Had to order the yellow as it is the only one that comes with a back rest. Back rest is not the greatest but will do. Paddle looks good. Cant wait for the weather to break to test them on water instead of our foyer:)

I read a lot of reviews before ordering this so I knew what to expect. It was wrapped in clear plastic. If it is going to be a gift, I would ship it to grandma and grandpa's. There is no way to carry it from behind so the back drags, it is not that big so my husband was able to wrap his arm around it and carry it that way...me not so much. I think for the price this is the best deal out there, for a kids kayak. Can't wait for my daughter to see it, and when the snow is gone actually use it.

I bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter. The kayak handled beautifully. She was very comfortable kayaking in it. The easy on feature in the back was wonderful The service representative was extremely helpful. I will buy more as my other grandchildren learn to swim.

Bought two of the Lifetime Kids kayak for our grandkids. They used them this past week and had a ball. Very sturdy constructed. Easy to handle and cart Even some adults tried them with little success Kept falling off because they were to heavy Still lots of fun and laughs Delivered as promised Excellent price and quality

We absolutely love these kayaks. They have been through a beating with all of our nieces and nephews. Even the youngest at 3, could work these and they love them so much. They're light and durable. The back strap broke off after a few years of use on one of them but we were able to order a replacement. The kids in your life will love these.

The Lifetime Wave Kayak is awesome. Unfortunately, the paddles arrived with the ends flattened during shipping, so the paddle could not be assembled. Ian at customer service honored the guarantee and is replacing the paddle. The kayak itself is fine and works great, we had to borrow a neighbors paddle.

My 8 year old daughter saved up to purchase this Kayak. She has only played with it in our pond since it has been chilly. I was worried that the small Kayak would not be sturdy, but she didn't have any trouble board & un-boarding it. I think it's a great product for the price that you pay. When she bought it, it was on sale for $99 so I think it is well worth the money. We wanted a small kayak to be able to take with us on camping trips and out on the boat. This is perfect. My daughter chose the green one, which came with the paddle, but I have read that if you buy the yellow one it comes with the back rest also.
