We purchased for our grandkids (age 6 %26 8) and they were great! Easy for them to maneuver (beginners) - we tethered the 6 yr old to us. Kayaked on fairly smooth lake for a couple hours. Easy to transport on our top of car kayak rack in between our 2 adult kayaks. No leaks and were stable for both of the girls. Fairly light weight also. Very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It came at a fantastic price and the quality is awesome, but doesn’t come with a paddle. That’s why it was so cheap. But why would you sell a kid’s kayak without a paddle? It’s a big pain now to go pick one up.

Perfect price point for a youth kayak. However, it does NOT come with a paddle and they should state that clearly in the description. Doesn’t make sense that you would buy a kayak without a paddle, and the product pictures all have a paddle in them. So you end up spending more $ on a paddle.

Pros: I am an adult and it met my purpose for a short and lightweight kayak that I can carry easy (only 21 lbs) and fits inside my car (only 6'6"). It is 150 lb weight limit and I am 130 lb adult and it floats me very well and just fine and also I'm 5'10" tall and my legs fit perfect on the last foothold. It is fun. You can use a carabiner to hook a tiny cooler to kayak, but it will get wet. Cons: because it is short when you paddle it does wiggle right and left a lot. I was able to get used to it and figure out the best paddle placement to minimize the wiggle. I got where I needed to go fairly well. A longer kayak would be faster but it would not fit in my car. This short one provides my purpose of getting a workout, I don't need to go fast. It is very prone to tilting and throwing you out the side if you don't have good balance. I did not get thrown out because I adjusted where I paddle, farther away from the kayak, and I have good balance. Power boats were blasting by making waves and I did not tip out. So not a big deal, but be aware. You get used to it after 20 minutes and learn the kayak's behavior. The seat back is not very supportive at all. I am going to have to buy a better supportive seat. You will get very wet, the scupper holes are where your butt is so water will be in the seat. Plus it splashes up on the feet calves area a lot. Kayak sits very low to the water. Fun though, great on a hot day to get wet. I like it a lot and will keep it and have fun and get a workout and adventure. Love the lightweight aspect the most.

I purchased this youth kayak for my two grandchildren. I'm very happy with the construction and sturdiness of it. Love the blue color! It's handy to have the foot rests to fit different size kids. One thing you should know is that this kayak does not come with a paddle, you have to purchase that separately.

Quick, friendly, patient & helpful customer service given to us by Jiselle, after we discovered a single plug was missing from the kayak. They will be sending us two replacements at no cost. All during the corona virus pandemic. Thoroughly impressed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not find a small kayak anywhere else so I was very pleased to be able to get this kayak. I had been in to a few stores as well before I began my online search. I was so happy to find this so I will be able to manage it as a large kayak would be too much for me to handle.

I bought a kayak for my son and it happened to not have a part we needed. I emailed the company over the weekend. Very early on Monday, they had responded to my email. They requested a little more information which I replied and provided. They got back to me a 2nd time later that afternoon. The responsiveness blew me away and they're going above and beyond to help resolve my issue. Couldn't be happier!

I’ve got a seven year old son who loves kayaking on lakes with this. He has no problem maneuvering it around. The only problem with the whole thing is the back strap what barely counts as a support. For their top tier kids kayak a decent seat would have been nice.

The kayaks provide great balance and bouyancy for my 8-12 yo boys. They're also light and easy to move around. Two of the little plugs popped out because the boys intentionally capsize them so often :) and Lifetime customer service sent me several replacement plugs with no questions asked. Great product and great customer service.
