I bought this for my 2 kids (ages 6 and 9). They love it. It's fairly stable and they have no problems paddling it around. There are two drain holes in the middle front that if you weighed too much might let enough water in to wet shorts. Overall I think it was a steal at the sale price I paid ($99)

The kayak is very well made and I am happy with it. I was however very surprised that it was delivered to my front door in a clear plastic bag, which clearly showed what it was. I expected it to be in some kind of a container, and not out in plain view on my front door, where someone could have walked away with it before I found it. Also, I don't know why they call it a bonus paddle , because it came with one paddle only.

I do like it, it was just what I wanted.. something I could carry, me being small, to the car and to the water all by myself. It is comfortable, my back hasn't been strained, and with the keel on bottom, it doesn't slide from side to side when paddled like some other small paddle boats. The paddle is even a high quality ! I had been looking for a kayak this size , not a sit upon, but couldn't find one. I just dont' understand why they manufacted this with two holes in the bottom, thus , once once's weight is in the boat, you are always sitting in a cold puddle of water. I also don't understand why they market this as a kayak when it's really a 'sit upon'..I have used it 30 min. a day every day and it is relaxing and wonderful.. but I'm now going to have to buy a wetsuit or somehow put fiberglass over those holes when summer is over, as I wanted to use it year round...

Got my son (55 lb., 10 years old) one of these for Christmas. He has used it several times on flat water with no issues and he loved it. Finally got up the nerve to put him on the river in it. Did a 5 mile float for Fathers Day with no issues at all. River has a few descent Class II rapids. Yak was very easy for him to control and never flipped it. This is a great addition for any family wanting to get the kids on the water in a kayak.

My son received this for a birthday gift and was sad to report to me that the hull started cracking. I was super disappointed knowing that it had failed. I took a photo and emailed it to the customer service email address on the website and was thrilled when they agreed to replace it. Not only did they cover the kayak, they shipped it free of charge. That was above and beyond our expectations and my son is so excited to get back out on the water. He loves his little kayak.

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.

This was a Christmas gift for my six-year-old grandson and every time he uses it, he thanks me so much and tells me how much he loves it! The only problem is that it’s very difficult for a young person to carry. The finger holds Don’t really work for that so some other kind of design for it to be easily portable is necessary

I wanted a kid's kayak with a paddle for my 5 and 7y old kids, and this product meets those requirements. I got my 2 kids into a kayak to make their first experience, and it has served us well so far. The kayak is not too heavy, which is good because carrying them is a bit uncomfortable. There is a spot on the side with slight finger indentations where you can grip it, but effectively you have to hold it tight to your body and walk fast... There is just one handle on the very front that is attached to the kayak; I wish they had a second one on the rear so that 2 people could carry it comfortably. My shipping experience was not that great, which may or may not be Walmart's fault so I'm not deducting points for that; delivery was delayed by a few days (I got timely notifications, though), but what annoyed me the most is that the Fedex estimated arrival date was updated to be 1 day later close to the delivery date, throwing our plans again. Luckily the Fedex truck came very early in the morning so we didn't have to wait at home the whole day. Overall, it's a great value for your money.

Purchased this as a gift for a grandson he was extremely excited. The prior year we purchased this same Kayak for his big sister "she has really enjoyed it". The grandson has been wanting one ever since. "It was the perfect gift". "We feel the pricing is also very reasonable." If you have people in your circle who enjoy this type of water activity" I recommend it". The weight rating is not to exceed 130 lb. keep that in mind when purchasing

Our grandchildren ages 8 and 12 started out with these in the pool. This was their first experience with a kayak. It was about a five minute self taught lesson and they headed for the open water canal. The kayak is so stable, they are even using them as a paddle board. Thanks for hours of enjoyment at a very affordable price and made in the USA.
