My kids absolutely love these! The size is perfect for them ( 5yo & 7yo) to paddle them selves and steer well! We get asked about them all the time, a few of their friends have gotten one as well!

The reviews say the kayak holds up to 130 lbs but i would probably revise that to 110. More than that takes in too much water and hard to keep steady and above water level

Great beginner kayak for youth. Our grandsons loved it and padded around like experts! Adding a seat would put this over the top for value and ease of use.

My son loves his new youth kayak. He is 7 and has never tried anything like this before but took to it instantly and shot off like a pro. He has never tipped. He feels safe and I do to. Love it. Lightweight. Easy to handle.

Very well built and light weight. A 107 lb., 160 lb. and two children 6 yr and 4yr tried it out. It was a lot of fun. Easy to maneuver. Kids took to it right away and looked like pros.

I bought this for my daughter's 6th birthday and she loves it!! I was at first afraid being so young and only using one once last year but she did excellent and picked it up real fast again. It comes with a back rest but the foam tore apart after one use, other than that it's probably the thing I've invested in for her, and she's so tiny that she can use this for many years.

I bought two kayaks for my 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son. They had never been kayaking before and these were so easy for them to use. They took right off after getting in the water. They are also super easy for them get back on after taking a swimming break. I definitely recommend for young children.

My kids love this kayak. The paddles were a bit short but I needed larger paddles for my tioga so I passed the ones included with that to them. Very easy for my 9 and 10 year olds to carry themselves and easy to maneuver. Next year I'll be moving my 13 year old up to an 8 foot kayak and these 2 will be just for the younger 2 otherwise I wouldn't have hesitated to but a third.

We bought this for our grandchildren. The first weekend it was put to good use. Our 6 year old grandson (who had never paddled a kayak before) jumped on and within minutes was looking like he had done it his whole life. He LOVED having his own kayak. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't include the back support which can be bought separately on Ebay.

Pros : lightweight (my 8 years old can carry it to the water alone). Perfect size. Clever feature to put the paddle at rest in the front. Cons : wish it came with a backrest. Wish the foot steps were closer (my son had to fully extend legs to reach the foot step)
