Poor quality
I bought two of these in June for my seven and eight year old. We were only able to use them 3x The plastic was fairly soft but I figured we’re only using them on the lake.. My daughter launched hers and the bottom of the Hull is crushed in, it capsized on her in the middle of the lake FULL of water. It couldn’t be righted as the water was too heavy. Thankful that she had a life jacket and is a good swimmer. Her brother helped tow it to shore. Not something a product I would recommend. Do t be cheap like me and buy a better quality.
We are very sorry to hear that this has happened! Our customer service team will be reaching out shortly! This shouldn't have happened and we would love the opportunity to make it right.
Great kayak and great customer service
Perfect starter kayak for young kids. My sons love the green color. One of our kayaks got lost in transit. I contacted lifetime and they had a replacement shipped out right away. Great customer service.
Great Kayak, and great service!
I bought three Kayaks for my elementary school aged boys. They are quite sturdy and feel quality. Also impressed with this company. I am not sure seat backs are needed but we decided to look into them and after a simple email with the model number they have been provided; GREAT customer service. Thank you. When it's time to get them adult size Kayaks, I will return.
Nice but could use a few more features for small adults.
I bought this kayak for myself. I am a small adult. This kayak tracks well enough, but of course the paddle is too short for an adult. There is no place for any type of storage, so I added a bungee with padeyes. Also, although there is a recessed area that acts as a handle, it was hard for me to carry this, so I added two side handles and a T stern handle so that I could carry this with my husband. I don't know if a child could carry this or not. Also, there is no comfortable way to sit on this, so I added a gel seat and purchased the seat back from the company. I also had to purchase scupper hole plugs from another company. I plugged the two holes under the seat, but left the one near the bow open for drainage, which would not be needed with a longer paddle. If you are an adult, you will want to make this little kayak comfortable. It is the only length that would fit in my car with the seats down, so I am glad to have it. But, it has taken lots of work to make it work for me.
We're sorry for the confusion, this is a youth kayak. If you have any other questions, please reach out to us at reviews@lifetime.com.
CRACKED SHIPWRECKED NIGHTMARE
Purchased this kayak in late January and took it out for the first time today only to discover that there was an opening/crack in the back/bottom along the seam... wish I would have noticed that before I was in the middle of the lake... turned my fun family day into a submerged shipwrecked disaster.
Oh no! Please email pictures to warrantyclaims@lifetime.com so that a warranty representative can get this resolved for you.
Perfect 1st kayak for our Grandson
The ease at which our 6 year old grandson took to navigating the Recruit 6.5 kayak was astonishing. He paddled along the shoreline with such ease. Our 4 year old granddaughter is looking forward to getting her own for her birthday. We were very impressed with the Lifetime brand!!
Great easy transportable kayak
We bought this for my wife, 5'2 and 130lb, fit her well and very easy to transport. We like it. It could be great if they just include the seat back with the kayak. Or you can give them a call and they will give you one as a courtesy.
Excellent Customer Experience!
Alan exceeded my expectations by providing the kayak seat strap as a Customer Loyalty Reward! Excellent Customer Experience! Now have THREE Lifetime kayaks and will definitely recommend Lifetime to all my family and friends!
Telephone customer service
I wanted to find out how to get a seat or backrest for this new boat, and Terry was very helpful. I'll be happy to write another review after we go paddling with our granddaughter this weekend.
Good Value
I bought this 2 weeks ago. My kids had a great time sharing it on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, so I bought another one for more adventures.
