[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for my daughter's birthday not really knowing how much use we'd get out of it and it turns out, it's turned us into weekend warriors! We bought an adult size kayak as well and go out almost every weekend to the lake in the summer. I even enjoy using it myself and I am right at the weight limit. It's also very easy to transport because of the size & can withstand tons of abuse. Get one, your kid will love it.

After I ordered this product, Two children's kayaks, I discovered they were 20% cheaper at Dunham Sports. Because I ordered them and they were on their way, I let the product come to us. They were very nice and they are well made. The kids loved them and had a blast in the water . I did pay $20.00 more plus shipping for each item but the shipping was only $8.00 total for the two. I did not have to go to the store and bring them home in the car as they are quite large.

This kayak AND another smaller one arrived at our front door, allowing our two kids to arrive home from school and SEE their Christmas gifts!!!!! At the very least, Amazon does give you a warning!!! Thankfully our neighbor came over and thanked us for holding these for his niece and nephew ( wink, wink)!

We just recently moved from NY to FL. My husband and I are avid Kayakers. Our daughter often goes with us and paddle boards as well. She is 6 - with the move to a warmer climate it offers the opportunity to be in that water more often. My daughter actually saw a similar product but they could not get it to us by Christmas. The Kayak came ( with no extra shipping costs) earlier than stated. The design and quality was far surpassed what I expected she will actually be able to truly kayak in this. When we were action last year in the Blue Ridge Mountains we rented kayaks and My daughter wanted to paddle board. They had a hybrid of a sit on top kayak that was able to be used for SUP. This is exactly what it was. I have searched for that item and was unable to find it. This is it. My husband and I have what would be high end kayaks, the design and materials that this unit is made of is identical. It is a one piece body and hull which is key to a good kayak. The paddle include - I assumed we would have to purchase a better one - I WAS WRONG the paddle is well made and the diameter of the Paddle is smaller to fit into a smaller hand. The price is far below what the value of this product is. The sit on top design has goober notch placement for her feet. There is a the ability to add a comfortable seat, and the open back design is ideal of children to get in ad out of. The First this she did when she discovered it under the tree Christmas morning was point out that she kayak SUP and she was right there is the perfect area that provides balance for her feet. We have a large neighborhood lake that the houses are built around eager to get in she got her life jacket and took to it. starting seated then went onto her knees and well - lets just say she does not want a seat. This is the exact same product we rented on vacation just in her size. AND PINK OF COURSE. Lastly being that we are in an area where there are endless places to kayak and kids can tucker out there is a told toggle at the front that will be ideal for towing her through waters she might not be able to animate or when she just wants to chill. Today might be our first day out. I would highly recommend this product Im certain I will be buying another ( my 4 year old son will be ready to go soon and well he can't do pink I Truly did not anticipate this level of quality at this price point. I would also recommend marketing the product as a hybrid of a SUP and sit on top Kayak because hat is what it is. I don't know if your company makes seats for the kayaks as well but I found seats that are the same maker as our high end kayaks that would seamlessly fit into here providing the ability to enjoy a day out on the water. OH DID I MENTION THE GUARANTEE ? A lifetime guarantee. I know sound too good to be true. I imagine that if this product got in the hands of product placement and was read about and discovered by more outdoors people like us the would be SO HOT. Get it now before it takes off and the price doubles. You would pay that much to rent a kayak for the day In most places. Best purchase of the Holiday and it will be of great use. If You are looking to introduce your child into kayaking this is the way to go. It is really pretty too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a couple of lifetime support which we love, but our young children had a harder time controlling them on the lake. The youth kayak was the perfect solution. It's easy for our kids to use and control even on a windy lake. We had a fabulous time on the lake! Thank you lifetime for helping us create memories.

My daughter is 10yrs old and about 65lbs... she handled this like a champ! Very light weight, she can carry it, but stable on the lake. Perfect for beginners. Plus is was clearanced to $75 and free shipping. I love that it wipes clean with a Clorox wipe and sits up in the garage. Will be purchasing another for my nephew!

This is a great little boat, our 4year old is able to maneuver with just a few pointers. Ours came with the attachable seat but she prefers it without it attached. Paddle was much nicer than expected. This will be fun for years to come, very solid and stable

It was just what I expected. Bought it for grandson's birthday. So happy there was no shipping charge as this item was already $10.00 more expensive than the exact one I purchased at Sam's two weeks prior. We haven't given it to our grandson yet, but it looks in perfect shape and we think it will be a real hit for him for his birthday.

We absolutely love our kid-size kayaks! They are perfect at lake Powell, Bear Lake, and anyplace else you take your kiddos. They are easy to paddle and maneuver. Our grandkids just love them. Our 8 year old granddaughter paddled hers all the way out and back to Lone Rock at Lake Powell all by herself ! Great Product!

The kayak is a perfect size and love the 2 sided oar that comes with it. My son loves it. The only thing I didn't know was that it has a hole in the bottom of the kayak so everytime he gets in it he gets very wet, which is fine in the summer, but not so good in the fall when it's not quite as warm. Other than that, it is a perfect gift for a younger child who likes to kayak.
