We purchased two of these kayaks a month ago for our grandkids. We took them out on the water and they learned to maneuver them very quickly. (The kids have never been on one before Ages 4,6, and 7) They had sooo much fun it was well worth the price. My husband said we should have bought some long before now.

I ordered two of these children kayaks. Both arrived in the store at the same time but when I went to pick them up; only one came with all the advertised parts. One was missing the backrest pad which is the reason that I ordered this specific kayak to begin with. So, I walked away with only one kayak. When I order a product, my expectation is that it will arrive with all of its parts and be in good working order. That was definitely not the case for this order.

I bought 3 for my grandkids, they love them. They are lite and easy to handle. The kids were able to maneuver the kayak through the irrigation ditches as well as on the lake. I would recommend this product to a anyone looking for an inexpensive, lite weight watercraft that you don't want to worry about puncturing or popping.

We use these in the pool as well as the lake. The kids love to play "King of the Kayak". One person is king and the others try to get the king off and then scramble up to be the new king. My son also likes to just lay on it while it floats in the pool and he listens to his tunes.

I just got this kayak for my son. I have not had a chance to put it to use yet.. I love the fact that it comes with a very nice paddle included with purchase. Qualty seems to be very solid. This is not going to be a cheap flimsy boat. It appears to be made of thicker solid materials... He can't wait to put it on the water this summer.

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.

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 for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. She loved it from day one. Of course she wears her vest whenever she uses it. It's very stable and if she falls off she can climb back on by herself. she takes her 2 1/2 year old sister riding on the back. She can row pretty fast on it so we need to follow in our own kayaks. We tied a rope to the kayak to prevent her from traveling too far away from the houseboat. I would recommend this kayak (with supervision) for anyone from 3 on up. The 2 1/2 year old can paddle the kayak too but seemed to lose her balance easier. The back rest was useless and prevented her from climbing back on easier so we don't use it.

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.

My 8 year old grandson LOVES this kayak!!! The first day we surprised him with it, he spent seven hours on it, taking breaks only to eat and go to the bathroom! He picked up the paddling immediately. It is very stable and light weight. Have since taken him kayaking several times, lake and river (not whitewater). He loves it!
