Extremely stable. My 6 yr old grandson got on it & paddled away like he'd been doing it all his life. Hopped off in deep water & had no problem climbing back on from the back. Paddle is very light weight. Kayak can be handled easily by a child. Terrific, especially for the price.

I bought both my grandaughters one for their birthdays. I gave them to them early because their family was going on a camping trip to the lake. They loved them!!! The youngest one told me , best birthday present ever!!! They were all over the lake on them. Very well made and was stable enough that they jumped off them in the water and it never rolled over . Would highly recommend!!!

Stable, good tracking, EASY to use. We got this for our daughter as a 5th birthday gift. She took to it immediately, and had no trouble steering this around the lake. We thought we had a child prodigy until one of her cousins hopped on and started paddling well immediately also. This kayak is stable, it tracks well, and it's easy for the kids to jump off and get back on. We found that our kids like to alternate paddling with jumping off and swimming in intervals too.

Great size for a child! It is very easy to maneuver. My one child doesn't like that there are holes in the bottom so her feet and sometimes her bottom get wet.\n\nThe handgrips don't really work so it's not the easiest to grab and pick up but it can still be picked up by one adult.

Easily maneuverable by a 5 year old, yet fits my 8yr old well too! Pretty light weight and the kids can drag into the water and get on by themselves. The price is right! Two can actually fit on the inside of my minivan with the middle row center seat gone and the back seats folded down!

I bought one for my 7 year old son and he has such a great time with it in our pond that I had to go and get another one for my 10 year old daughter! The sturdy build make it easy for the kids to paddle. It is easy to transport -we take it in our truck down the river often. I would like to see them come with scupper plugs so that on cooler days when the kids take them out, the water doesn't get on the kayak

I bought this for my almost 10 year old daughter who loves it. Her 2 cousins also got one for their bday so we were excited to all go our kayaking. One thing I did not like was how it was delivered. It only arrived in plastic and not in any sort of box. It was also left out by my driveway where anyone could steal it. My garage is always open and they normally put my packages in the garage not sure what happened this time. Overall great product thought!

The kayak itself is good, but it does NOT come with a back support seat. I was surprised as I own 3 kayaks (adult and kids) and they all came with back support and paddles. This kayak does have hooks where the back support would strap into, but no back support. While the photograph shows no back support, I bought it on the basis of some reviews here which referred to a back support and the description never said "no back support". Kinda disappointed after spending over $100 on this. It should at least come with all the essentials. What good is a car without seats?

My boys ages 10 and 13 got these recently. They love them. These are great for kids that want to get started in kayaking. Can't beat the price too. The only issue I have is with the yellow kayak my older son has and that is... It needs a handle on the front. My younger son has the green one which comes with the handle which is great for him to pull it to the water. Other than that these are awesome!!!

I am happy with the two Lifetime Wave Jr kayaks I purchased. This company makes nce products. I was disappointed to learn that these kayaks, except for the yellow model, do not come with seat backs. Reading earlier Walmart.com comments from Lifetime on this topic implied they would supply customers with seat backs who were under the impression that all models came with one.
