Comments about Emotion Kayaks Sparky Kayak - Kids':
Have owned this 1 1/2 years for the purpose of introducing small kids to solo kayaking. It is a great price point for just that. They control it well, and love it. Ideally suited up to 80-90 lbs. Once my granddaughter attained 100 lbs. (and hooked on kayaking!) we moved her into a larger boat . . . Should practically disregard the 140 lb. rating as it will float, but too top heavy and decreasingly usable at 100+ lbs. Side carry grips are not too helpful for water re-entry - I put a strap through the two drainage holes to make a hand hold and all the kids have been able to manage righting the craft and climbing aboard without undue difficulty. Small investment to get kids started. You'll need a paddle, but will be able to use that when they grow into a larger boat.

Comments about Emotion Kayaks Sparky Kayak - Kids':
My son developed good paddling skills on this boat. We bought it last year (2011) and he was age 6. By the end of the summer he was able to do a 3 hour float down a creek without much help from adults. If you want your kids to learn how to kayak, this is a great intro boat. I just wish there was a back support.
