We bought 2 yellow youth kayaks. They came with a foam seat back strap and a paddle. (We found the seat back strap was unnecessary.) They are light and very easy for little kids to manage on their own. Our kids LOVED them! Our 4 yo was self sufficient from the minute we brought them to the lake. Our big 12 yo was technically too big for them but he still was able to have fun with them. (They are meant for kids more in the 4-10 age range). We thought the price point was great. Walmart had the best price when we did the comparison. We picked them up at the store and were able to fit them in our Honda Pilot with the back seats flattened. We bought long rope with plenty of slack and tied the paddles to the kayaks to make sure they didn't get lost. These kayaks are awesome!

My kids bought this kayak and love it. They purposely choose pink so they would be more visible on the water. In fact it is so fun that I would like to purchase an adult one for me. The weight is for 120 or 130 max. I weight about 160 and can still sit and paddle on it but it is a but wabbley for me.

We got one of these kayaks for each kid and, so far, they love them. We’ve already paddled several miles up and down a pretty wide and busy river, both with and against the current. The kids were able to keep up. Even with the waves from passing speedboats, they were able to stay upright by either facing into the waves, or by facing away and riding them. I like that we don't have to worry about them getting trapped inside if they were to flip. And of course life jackets are a must! These kayaks are light weight and easy to transport and could even support a small adult (under 130 or so , I believe?) Overall they were a good deal (especially since we had to buy several at once.) IMHO they pretty much payed for themselves the first time we took them out, especially when you considering pricelessness of family time spent out in nature.

I bought two kayaks for my 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son. They had never been kayaking before and these were so easy for them to use. They took right off after getting in the water. They are also super easy for them get back on after taking a swimming break. I definitely recommend for young children.

This month I purchased this kayak so my 7-year old grandson could join me on some local kayaking trips. With two trips now under our belt, I give Lifetime a big "thumbs up". The kayak is well built, was priced great, delivered quickly, and is a huge hit in our family. I had to call customer service to ask a quick question about the availability of a seat/back and the CS representative, Jonathan, blew me away with his cheerful and helpful attitude. Their customer service exceeded my expectations! Thanks Lifetime!

I'm 65 and I bought this for myself. Carrying a big kayak by myself is a bit much now, but this little one is easy to carry, fits inside the car, and stores in my closet. I love it. What I like best about it is that I can just go to the pond, kayak for awhile and come home, without it being a big production like it is with hauling big kayaks around. It says maximum weight of 130, but I weigh about 148, and it works fine for me. Remember to buy kayak plugs for it ! You'll want them.

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.

Better than expected for a kayak at this price. Had to order the yellow as it is the only one that comes with a back rest. Back rest is not the greatest but will do. Paddle looks good. Cant wait for the weather to break to test them on water instead of our foyer:)

We got our boats earlier than expected. My boys 7 and 9 love these boats. They are great boats to learn to kayak on. There is no storage so I tied whistles to the life jackets. It was difficult for my children to get the paddles on the boat, and climb back on. I would recommend attaching the paddle to the boat so it does not float away. The kayak comes equipped with chalks to attach the paddle all you need is line of some sort. I would highly recommend this boat to anyone that meets the weight requirement. A bystander at the boat launch also loved the boats and asked where I got them and how much I paid. Unfortunately it looks like the price went up since I bought mine.

My wife and I bought one of these kayaks and then my dad bought another one and gave it to us for our kids (age 8 & 10) to learn on. The included paddle is decent and the kayak paddles, loads and unloads easily. We store our kayaks outdoors and encountered an issue with one of them where it appears some woodland critter gnawed at the drain plug, rendering it quite useless. When I contacted customer service they immediately offered to send me a replacement, which arrived about a week from my initial contact. Considering there was no charge and they even sent me two (though I think they are packaged that way) I have to say this was a very positive experience with their products and would definitely recommend them to others.
