Do you need plugs to keep the water out? No scuppers, but there is a plug in the back of the boat to drain it in case any water gets in.
Is the backrest removable? Yup
Would this be too heavy for a 5-year-old to paddle? No, I bought this for my 6-year-old and it was too small and flimsy. I think it would be fine for a 3 or 4-year-old. Also, it broke in 1/2 the 2nd time she used it. Thank goodness I had purchased a separate youth paddle on Amazon and she uses it with no problem. I think you can buy the kayak with no paddle for less and then buy a separate paddle.
How long is the paddle? Paddle is 50 inches, not adjustable and frankly, junk. Buy a decent aluminum for around 30 to 40 bucks and you will be fine.
What We Like
- Kids feel more grown up in the kayak because it looks very adult.
- Best Choice Kayak has rugged construction to prevent scrapes and holes.
- It has towing capabilities in case your child gets tired before reaching the shore.
What To Consider
- For easier maneuverability, you may need a new paddle since the one included is short and flimsy. Such paddles make it difficult for kids to transport to and from the water.
