Stable, good tracking, EASY to use. We got this for our daughter as a 5th birthday gift. She took to it immediately, and had no trouble steering this around the lake. We thought we had a child prodigy until one of her cousins hopped on and started paddling well immediately also. This kayak is stable, it tracks well, and it's easy for the kids to jump off and get back on. We found that our kids like to alternate paddling with jumping off and swimming in intervals too.

We ordered these for our two youngest children ages 5 and 7. The first time out on the river we tied them to a tree just in case the current was too strong for them, but they tackled it with ease. They can scoot through the water like little torpedoes! We are amazed at how easily they can maneuver them around - our four children ended up in a game of kayak tag and the younger ones were much more agile. Stable enough my 7 year old enjoys standing up and paddling.

Just add a life vest. Bought one each for my 8 and 6 year old and they've had no trouble paddling around both a quiet pond and a calm ocean inlet. Max weight 130 lbs. Lightweight but sturdy and wide. Slightly awkward to carry for anything more than a few feet, so we are considering getting travel wheels.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pink and a green youth kayak to spend more time outside with the kids. One concern lose their safety. The children have been extremely safe on these kayaks they have not once flipped on them and when they get off they're able to get back on them very easily. The kids also are able to mover the kayak with ease. The big colors put parents minds at ease with keeping an eye on them.

These kayaks are perfect for kids and smaller adults. They definitely won't support a larger adult FYI but the kids love them. They're light enough that I can grab one out of the water and carry it up to the car with one hand while holding the baby on my other hip. Easy to load. Great value.

We bought this for our granddaughter's 9th birthday and she loved it. It is very stable in the water allowing her to get on without any tipping. She was able to paddle all around with no problem. The only improvement would be if it came with a backrest pad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My six year old son saved his money and bought a kayak. He loves it so much! He spent 5 hours on the lake last weekend and is able to paddle everywhere independently. I would highly recommend this product! Now I need a paddle board so that I can keep up with him!

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. She loved it from day one. Of course she wears her vest whenever she uses it. It's very stable and if she falls off she can climb back on by herself. she takes her 2 1/2 year old sister riding on the back. She can row pretty fast on it so we need to follow in our own kayaks. We tied a rope to the kayak to prevent her from traveling too far away from the houseboat. I would recommend this kayak (with supervision) for anyone from 3 on up. The 2 1/2 year old can paddle the kayak too but seemed to lose her balance easier. The back rest was useless and prevented her from climbing back on easier so we don't use it.
