I have an adult 12' sit on top fishing kayak and wanted to introduce my grandchildren (4 & 6) to the sport. Our first two launches were in a neighborhood pool and the shallow end of a sandy beach. The kayak proved to be stable and with a little assist (deeper), they were able to climb up from the side and from the rear swim platform. Their paddle technique will take some time to master at this age. In the meantime, they used it as a dive platform and had a blast with grandpa. The manufacturer (Lifetime) pricing is erratic. I've seen the blue as low as $104 (sold out) and the yellow at $115. All colors come with a color coordinated (right sized) paddle but only the yellow includes the seat back attachment. Individually, the seat back is over priced at $30. As a package premium of say $10, it is reasonable. I purchased the yellow with a seat back. The kayak was shipped to my local store at no charge. It arrived damage free within a week. I am pleased with my Walmart purchase and look forward to the next eight years before they will have to size upgrade.

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 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.

I love this kayak, it will give years of use and then be passed on to the next person to use. Well made, however the the drain plug was not well made and pops so keep watch on that. The image of the yellow kayak shows the back rest which is NOT included with the kayak and is not available as an after market purchase. I was a bit ticked at that.

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.

I bought this kayak on sale for just over $80 specifically for my two granddaughters, aged 8 and 13. The kayak fit them both well although the older one might grow out of it my next summer. When it came time to try it our on flat, calm water, both of them took right off and had the hang of paddling in no time. Neither one had any prior experience kayaking. I was very impressed by how well the kayak tracked with minimum effort. The older granddaughter even took down some small rapids. Great buy and a lot of fun. Be aware the shipping took close to 2 weeks despite what you are told by the tracking info.

We wanted to get our 5 & 9 year olds kayaks since they’ve been asking to go out with us. They showed to expect delivery by 7/30. However, we got them a week after placing our order. They’re perfect size & the kids have room to grow. They came wrapped & with matching paddles. The kids are so excited & so are we. Would definitely recommend! :)

I bought this because the river is just a little to deep for my little guy to stand in it and this is light enough for me to carry it to the edge and pull him in the river and then ancore it so he could fish next to me. After a little bit he set him loose and he was able to row up stream with a pretty good wind in his face. Great product and great price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mom bought theses in Blue and Orange for my 7 year old twins. They absolutely love them. We have even taken friend out to use them. I thought I would see how the weight limit was. It was fun it floated just fine. I would definitely recommend getting it for your kiddos if under 130 lbs if over that get them a bigger one. They are addicting and so easy and fun to play with.

The kayak was a kid's kayak, so I had little experience with it personally. We had a problem with a plug and a seat and the people at Lifetime were terrific. Very personable and professional and the issues were resolved quickly. Five Stars for Excellent Service!
