This kayak AND another smaller one arrived at our front door, allowing our two kids to arrive home from school and SEE their Christmas gifts!!!!! At the very least, Amazon does give you a warning!!! Thankfully our neighbor came over and thanked us for holding these for his niece and nephew ( wink, wink)!

At $90, shipping included, you can’t beat this kayak. I ordered one for my six year old, who has been asking to go kayaking with me. She is very tall for her age, but was the perfect size for the kayak. She was able to handle it easily. It is very light and easy to carry (though could use a handle on both ends). Ours does not have a back rest, but it does not seem necessary. Highly recommended.

Picked up a couple of these for my 7 & 5 year old ( both tall for their age). They jumped on and took off like they knew what they were doing. My 7 year old is about 80lbs, 4'5" and there is still plenty of "room to grow" for him on this boat. They are about 2' wide x 6' long and weigh about 20lbs. Very easy to handle and transport. They come with a foam seatback that isn't really needed, except by perhaps someone much taller. We didn't use it the first time out, and I put them on the second time and the kids barely utilized them at all. I found these boats to be very stable, kids had no tipping issues when sitting sideways and dangling their feet in the water. We've only had them on the water twice, but so far I am very pleased with these.

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.

We have now purchased two of these pink kayaks for our girls to keep them both happy at the same time. They are ages both under 10 years old and do well in a pond/lake but only the older girl does well against the current of a river. They would both use the one kayak until now.

I bought this for my 2 kids (ages 6 and 9). They love it. It's fairly stable and they have no problems paddling it around. There are two drain holes in the middle front that if you weighed too much might let enough water in to wet shorts. Overall I think it was a steal at the sale price I paid ($99)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have absolutely loved our Lifetime kayaks! We bought one for each member in our family. I love the Wave youth kayaks because they are very durable yet light enough for them to all be able to carry their own.

I bought three of the 6’ youth kayaks in different colors for my grandchildren. I thought all the colors looked very nice, but green was my favorite. I guess that’s why it was the most expensive. Yhey’re actually good quality and the kids have been enjoying them. The 9 and 10 year olds were able to stand up and paddle them (with an occasional tumble).

Love this product. Just the right size for my 7 year old. Wasn't sure if it came with the paddle or it was just a prop but it does come too. I looked at dicks and dunhams and neither had this. Ordered it and it was at the store in 7 days. Very happy with it.

I bought one for my 4 year old daughter and another for my 3 year old son. Landon S. was such a big help in helping us choose what was right for us! My daughter can maneuver easily and very well on her own, plus she's only about 45 lbs. so she has a long life out of this until she's up to the 135 lb weight limit.
