Extremely stable. My 6 yr old grandson got on it & paddled away like he'd been doing it all his life. Hopped off in deep water & had no problem climbing back on from the back. Paddle is very light weight. Kayak can be handled easily by a child. Terrific, especially for the price.

My kids love these kayaks. One of my older sons will take the 2 year old with them on the kayak and she loves it too. Great for flat water fun on the lake. They do not tip easily and have a little handle up front that the kids can use to drag the kayak back up the beach without trouble. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought two of these in 2011 and have used them at least 4 dozen times. They have held up well, even stores in high heat. They are super easy to maneuver, our 4 year old could easily handle the boat. Great item to have around with kids!

I ordered two of these kayaks for my sons for Christmas. Only ONE of them arrived today and it was placed on my front porch in a CLEAR plastic bag!!! My sons obviously saw it when we pulled into the driveway. Seriously?!?!? It was supposed to be a Christmas present from Santa and I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the way it was packaged for delivery!!! Guess it's going back. Oh- and it didn't come with a paddle or the back support that some reviewers said did.

This has been a great addition to our family lake adventures! Its the perfect size for kids...small yet sturdy in the water and easy for them to maneuver. The paddles that are included in the package are of higher quality than some of our adult paddles. Very impressive!

It is not 6 feet long and the seating area can't keep you out of the water from the drainage holes even if you are 10 years old and only weigh 80 pounds, which is far below the 130 pound limit. However if you do not use it as a kayak, but instead as a portable raft it is light weight and short enough to fit in the back seat instead of needing roof racks.

I've grandchildren ranging from 7 to 9 and they all loved this kayak. It was an instant success because as a sit upon it is stable and easy to use. Light enough for the kids to maneuver into the water and back onto land. Delighted we purchased it (we bought two).

Bought one for our 7 year old grandson birthday. Ordered one of each other color for the rest of our grandkids! They love them! (Ages 7, 9, 2, and 2 three year olds) Very happy with the quality. Even saw my son-in-law sitting on one, and he is way over the weight limit.

We first saw these at a big box sport retailer. They are lightweight and manageable by kids but robustly built. We have not tried them in the water however. But this is for the kids to bang around in at the lake and get used to kayaking. Walmart is the only place we could find that includes the paddle and the backrest. The paddle is well made. The backrest is lightweight foam with a nylon adjustable strap. I'm not sure how long it will last before I'll have to make a new one. But it gets the job done.

I bought both my grandaughters one for their birthdays. I gave them to them early because their family was going on a camping trip to the lake. They loved them!!! The youngest one told me , best birthday present ever!!! They were all over the lake on them. Very well made and was stable enough that they jumped off them in the water and it never rolled over . Would highly recommend!!!
