We bought 2 of these for our boys, ages 6 & 7. They are lightweight. The boys can get their own kayaks in and out of the water. They are easy to maneuver. The only negative thing was that both kayaks were delivered with deep scratches from Walmart shipping department and one was missing a plug. I called Lifetime and they are sending 2 plugs through the mail. The kayaks are under warranty for 5 years, so we opted not to send them back. The boys wanted to use them as soon as they got here and I didn't want to wait another week+ for others to be shipped.

Surprised my 9 yr old granddaughter and she hasn'the stopped smiling. She absolutely loves having her own kayak. It was much nicer and larger than I thought it would be. It's sturdy but lightweight enough that she can carry it. And her mom likes the fact that when they are out with a large group of friends she sticks out like a sore thumb because of the neon orange color :) The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because after I ordered it, I saw the exact one on Amazon for almost the same price that came with the oars AND the backrest. I didn't cancel this one and order the other was because she liked the orange color. So I spent roughly 40 dollars more to order the backrest, an oar leash and the bungee cords. It would be nice if they gave you the option to buy everything with it at purchase instead of shopping around but overall everyone is very pleased.

Great kayak for my 10 year old & 6 year old! We were on the st. Lawerence river for a week & the kids used it every day. I am a little over the weight limit & was able to use it myself! Thinking of getting another one next year so both kids can use at same time!

I bought 2 of my granddaughters this kayak and they love them! They are easy for them to paddle and responsive to turns. They are stable when standing up on them like a paddle board, but could use a longer paddle. I plan to buy one more for another granddaughter.

Pleased with the product. I bought the kayak as a Christmas gift for my 9 and 5 yr old boys. Very disappointed in how Walmart packaged to ship it. As a result, the kayak was damaged, scuffed into the plastic and the drainplug damaged and pushed into the vessel. I didn't want to deal with trying to return/exchange so I called the makers of the kayak and ordered another plug. I will definitely have my big orders sent to store next time!!

The Kayak is durable and light. We purchased the yellow one because that one comes with a back rest. The backrest is not adjustable enough, so doesn't really do anything for my kids. They are 6 and 8 years old. Maybe when they are 12 the straps will be short enough to support them. They are adjustable, but only to a certain extent. Note: this is rated for 150 lbs max. Any heavier and it would probably deflate to much and not float that well. After you sit on it, the 3 or more plugs let some air out, but fills back up after you get off of it. Guess the plugs are to let water out if some gets inside the plastic. The plugs are on top, so not really any chance of getting water inside the plastic unless you loose the plugs. Again, it's a great boat for the price! Go for it!

I just got it for my kids 5th birthday and he loves it. Within 2 minutes he had a hang of it and was paddling all around on his own and loving his newfound freedom. It’s great that it is so small and light. The plugs to keep water out of the inside of the kayak itself seem cheap but then that solid simple kids kayak. Just what we needed

My kids each have one of these now and both are excellent quality. My 8 year old can paddle and maneuver like a champ and my 5 year old is well on her way. Both love this product. They are light enough for the kids to move on and out of the water themselves but my husband or I have to carry them down to the beach. An hour xcellent prive for an excellent product.

Bought this kayak for our five and eight year old grandchildren. They love it and were able to use it on their first try. Small enough to fit in our Ford Flex and very light in weight. The five year old was able to pull it up a hill by himself. Will be purchasing another one.

I love this. I actually bought it for my dog as we have a large swimming pool, and she hates to be on the rafts. All my dogs tear up regular rafts. I bought so many rafts. This is permanent and impermeable to their claws. Smoother bottom, can attach a Bimini. My sister has a 2 legged dog and it was perfect for him too
