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 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...

I bought this kayak for my 8 year-old daughter this past summer and she loves it! She is able to easily maneuver it in the water and can keep up with me on my kayak. The first time on the water she had it all figured out, we don't leave home without it when we go to any waterway. It's very durable, easy to haul, and she is even able to row with a friend on with her also. I would definitely recommend this item to friend and family.

Our 9 year old son saved up his money, bought this kayak and loves it. He has been to Elkhorn creek the las to weekends and has had a blast. It is very easy for him to manuever and handle. His 11 year sister liked his so much she bought one too. I would highly recommend this kayak for kids to start out with.

We bought this for our daughters 7th Birthday. She is super tiny and only 38 lbs. She had no issues maneuvering it, can drag it up onto the beach with out help and is thrilled to have her own "boat". We have only used this on the lake so far, but it is sturdy and should be suitable for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just bought these last year and have only used them a few times at Bear Lake. However, they are so much fun! The kids are always fighting over them! Even my two 5 year olds can maneuver them easily by themselves. It makes time at the beach even more enjoyable!

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.

Great kayak for kids of all ages. Stable, lightweight, durable and easy to clean. Our 4 year old is already learning how to paddle himself around and our 2 year old can actually pull the kayak in and out of the water with the handle. Haven't used the foam back support since it got in the way of kids crawling up into the kayak from behind (it does look somewhat flimsy.) Was very happy to find that the youth lifetime paddle is included in the package since it was not in the description. Although we joke that they look like big floating bananas, the bright color makes it easy to spot kids out on the water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the youth kayak and took it up to Bear Lake during a family reunion. All of the kids had a great time and felt super comfortable because of how sturdy it was. All the kids wanted a try and even a few of the Pups. Thanks for selling an affordable, durable, Kayak.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our 6 year old for Christmas and he loves it! It's the perfect size and he is easily able to paddle it without assistance. We get asked where we got it by people every time we are out on the water. We will be buying ones for our younger boys when they are older for sure!
