We finally bought one of these after always having to borrow my sisters because my son loved it so much. These are perfect for all aged kids...my 5 year old does great on it as does my 15 year old. Very sturdy and well built and the many fun color choices are always a hit!! Well done lifetime.

I bought the orange version of this kayak for my grandchildren about four years ago. We have since abused it without mercy and it's help up like a champ. Recently we lost the bow drain plug. It definitely needs it! I thought I would never find a replacement and didn't see one in the Lifetime home page but I thought I'd drop an email to them to see if they could help. The response was excellent. I received an email notifying me that a replacement would be sent and the little plug arrived three days later. I am presently considering a stand up paddle board and this experience is a real plus in a close call. It's great to get that kind of customer support.

We purchased this kayak in orange for our grandson as his first experience was in a sit-in kayak that he got frustrated with very easily. This kayak model was perfect for him as it is easy to handle on water, leaves all open for short arms and body and is light weight enough that they can pull it out of the water without help. Highly recommended for kids and has a good weight limit where it will be good for several seasons without having to buy a new replacement soon. It made him look like a seasoned pro on the water and impressed more than a few with him zipping around so easily.

[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!

[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 contacted Lifetime to replace a lost kayak backrest, fully expecting to pay to replace it. Lifetime responded immediately and shipped a replacement free of charge! Thank you Lifetime for your quick response and for your excellent customer support.

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.

This is well designed for kids! My 7&8 year old girls got on these and were able to handle them instantly. We've been out on a calm river for hours at a time. They LOVE them! They are really sturdy and pretty well made for the price. For an entry level, kid-size kayak, they are a good value. Walmart's price is better than most sellers. The kayak arrived within 3 days and was in perfect condition. The same can not be said for other sellers: Only a few companies carry these, and even though they are made in red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink, each vendor seems to only carry two colors. My kids wanted pink and blue, and I wanted green (I"m a petite adult and this size works for me too!). Walmart only carries green and orange. So I ordered the pink and blue versions from the other well known toy-seller with the backwards R in their name. That order was processed much more slowly, one of the two kayaks arrived damaged, and getting it replaced or returned for a credit has been extremely difficult--laden with shipping problems and delays. I highly recommend buying these from Walmart instead of TxxRxS. In fact, I've given up on getting the replacement blue kayak and am now working on getting a full refund. If I ever get my credit from them for the broken blue one, I will turn right around and order the orange kayak from Walmart! Now just to convince the kids that Pink, Green, and Orange is better than Pink, Green, and Broken Blue! Anyway, this is a great product and Walmart is good at customer service, online order fulfillment, and product delivery. Happy Kayaking!

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!

Very happy with our purchase. Bought two for grandchildren to use on a lake. Easy to get in and out of the water. Came with the paddles. Excellent price from Walmart. Shopped around and they had the best price. They came sooner then what the original deliverary date was. Highly recommend.
