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.

This is a great kid kayak. I have a competitor from Pelican to compare it to. It is lighter. The drain plug works much better. It comes with a paddle wheras the Pelican didn't, but the Lifetime model also cost me nearly twice as much as the Pelican. That Pelican model wasn't available, and I had reservations about paying the extra money. Overall though, I have no regrets about this boat.

I bought two of these for my kids aged 6 and 9. They love them! We have taken them out twice and they are very stable and easy to use. Both kids can easily handle them and they seem very safe. Even I am able to use them (5ft 2 in and 125 pounds)! They are a bit short and unstable for me but Im pushing their weight and size limit. Even so they still float great. Lol I love that they easily fit in the back of my truck and I can take the kids to the beach and carry both by myself (the kids have to carry the paddles though). Overall very happy.

I bought the blue Youth Kayak as a birthday gift for my granddaughter that came with a blue paddle. She loves it and is perfect for her. My daughter bought a green and a pink one both of which came with a black paddle. This is not a problem but wanted to mention the paddle difference. Great product that will last a lifetime.

I got the blue one, it came with a paddle. I was very satisfied with the purchase. Works great for my children ages 7 and 10. My 7 year old even paddles down the river with his friend on it with him. Pull recommend for a recreational purpose, looks like it will hold up well.

Surprised my 9 yr old granddaughter and she hasn'the stopped smiling. She absolutely loves having her own kayak. It was much nicer and larger than I thought it would be. It's sturdy but lightweight enough that she can carry it. And her mom likes the fact that when they are out with a large group of friends she sticks out like a sore thumb because of the neon orange color :) The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because after I ordered it, I saw the exact one on Amazon for almost the same price that came with the oars AND the backrest. I didn't cancel this one and order the other was because she liked the orange color. So I spent roughly 40 dollars more to order the backrest, an oar leash and the bungee cords. It would be nice if they gave you the option to buy everything with it at purchase instead of shopping around but overall everyone is very pleased.

These are the best little kayaks for kids. Our son (age 6) zips around on his, and now we have this pink one for our 4 year old daughter. She’s already getting the hang of paddling it and absolutely loves the colour. Even me, at 125 lbs, can paddle around with it, although I have to wear a bathing suit.

These are nice kayaks for kids. We got one for our grandkids and they love them. Even at 4 and 5 years old they can maneuver the craft, use the paddle and get on and off without help. The wide back makes it easier to get on while in the water. The younger kids can also ride on the back while the older ones paddle. It gets lots of use.

I purchased this kayak as a gift for my son's seventh birthday. It shipped for free quickly to my house - comes wrapped in clear plastic - thankfully it wasn't a surprise! The kayak itself is perfect - I have no complaints. We took it to the river this weekend and have already logged several hours of fun - it never once flipped - two small kids can easily ride - very sturdy - kids loved jumping off and getting back on even in deep water wasn't an issue. I will be ordering more. My boys are 7, 5, 4. Even my 4 year old had no problems using this kayak.

My daughter (who is also an adult) and I purchased these kayaks in order to have something we could pick up and load ourselves and just go! We use them in both small lakes and ponds. Impressed with this item as they are sturdy, stable, light weight, and easy to maneuver! We are both petite and under the 130 maximum pound requirement. We get compliments on them whenever we take them out! Would recommend.
