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.
