Took my 6 year old daughter camping to cottonwood cove in the Mojave this past weekend. She absolutely loved riding in this little boat and it made our trip a lot more fun! For reference, I'm 5'8 160 lbs, my daughter is 45" and about 60 pounds. It was a little snug so I wouldn't recommend it for a bigger person. I paddled for hours and even dragged it across the rocky beach, and it held up perfectly! Can't beat it for the price ($16 shipped!), but I will definitely be spending a little more on a bigger boat for our next trip.
