This month I purchased this kayak so my 7-year old grandson could join me on some local kayaking trips. With two trips now under our belt, I give Lifetime a big "thumbs up". The kayak is well built, was priced great, delivered quickly, and is a huge hit in our family. I had to call customer service to ask a quick question about the availability of a seat/back and the CS representative, Jonathan, blew me away with his cheerful and helpful attitude. Their customer service exceeded my expectations! Thanks Lifetime!

We bought 2 of these Lifetime kayaks for our kids ages 11, 9, 6. They have absolutely loved them! They liked them so much, we ended up purchasing one more that should be arriving today! We looked online and Walmart had the lowest price we have seen for these kayaks.

I received the kayak, it looks better than other one at CTC. No backrest arrived with it but after calling the company, i received it much earlier than expected. I was very surprised but happy and really did not think i would get it so soon. Now its just a matter of actually trying it out on the water to see how well it does! If i have no complaints from the kids using it, i may order another one a bit later! Thank you.

We bought this for our grandchildren. The first weekend it was put to good use. Our 6 year old grandson (who had never paddled a kayak before) jumped on and within minutes was looking like he had done it his whole life. He LOVED having his own kayak. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't include the back support which can be bought separately on Ebay.

Love the kayaks but not happy store advertised 78.00 but no where to be found forced to pay 145.00 each online ..that was deceiving advertising I feel..would like an explanation of why they advertised low price but kept products out of stores NY and VT

These are fun little boats! My 5 year old can manage it, my 14 year old can enjoy it in a more wobbly fashion, and even I got on and could enjoy a ride (despite being about 30 lbs over the weight limit!). Very agile on the water, easy to transport in a minivan, easy for the kids to carry (but not the 5 year old).

It’s smaller than the lifetime youth kayak we bought in store. It’s shorter and I’m not sure it has the same weight capacity. The color is cool and love that the paddles have color too. It was more expensive than the ones we bought in store and shorter. So I’m not sure what to think. Haven’t tested it out yet.

I bought 2 and we strap them to the top of the van. My 8 yr old takes my 4 yr old on one and my 6 yr old takes my 2 yr old on the other while I use a paddle board and we have a great time paddling around the lake. My 4 yr old was even able to do it himself (tied to a rope because he paddles in circles). They are the perfect size and easy to maneuver for the kids.

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!

The kayak is great! I have 2, one for each of my girls (3 and 5 years old). They love them and it has helped me get out on the water more. They are easy for my girls to get on and off of and the paddle holder is perfect for when they are taking a break. They are very stable so no tipping and small enough to get around easily.
