I have three Wave kayaks for my grandchildren and one of the drain plugs come out after five years. I wrote an email to Lifetime requesting where I could buy one and to my surprise they promptly responded and sent replacement without any charges. Outstanding customer service!

We ordered these for our two youngest children ages 5 and 7. The first time out on the river we tied them to a tree just in case the current was too strong for them, but they tackled it with ease. They can scoot through the water like little torpedoes! We are amazed at how easily they can maneuver them around - our four children ended up in a game of kayak tag and the younger ones were much more agile. Stable enough my 7 year old enjoys standing up and paddling.

Great kayak for my small 6 year old. My average 12 year old tried it out too and had fun in it. I fit it in the back of my Impreza hatchback with the back seats down to get it home. One negative is when I first looked at this there was a wide range of prices by color. I waited it out til we really needed it (2 months) and the prices evened out, so we got the blue like we really wanted.

This is well designed for kids! My 7&8 year old girls got on these and were able to handle them instantly. We've been out on a calm river for hours at a time. They LOVE them! They are really sturdy and pretty well made for the price. For an entry level, kid-size kayak, they are a good value. Walmart's price is better than most sellers. The kayak arrived within 3 days and was in perfect condition. The same can not be said for other sellers: Only a few companies carry these, and even though they are made in red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink, each vendor seems to only carry two colors. My kids wanted pink and blue, and I wanted green (I"m a petite adult and this size works for me too!). Walmart only carries green and orange. So I ordered the pink and blue versions from the other well known toy-seller with the backwards R in their name. That order was processed much more slowly, one of the two kayaks arrived damaged, and getting it replaced or returned for a credit has been extremely difficult--laden with shipping problems and delays. I highly recommend buying these from Walmart instead of TxxRxS. In fact, I've given up on getting the replacement blue kayak and am now working on getting a full refund. If I ever get my credit from them for the broken blue one, I will turn right around and order the orange kayak from Walmart! Now just to convince the kids that Pink, Green, and Orange is better than Pink, Green, and Broken Blue! Anyway, this is a great product and Walmart is good at customer service, online order fulfillment, and product delivery. Happy Kayaking!

This is the second Wave kayak we've bought for our grandchildren. The first one was for our 5 year old granddaughter and now that her sister is 4, she's ready to have her own. The neighbor kids at the cabin have this same brand kayak and they all love them.

I contacted Lifetime to replace a lost kayak backrest, fully expecting to pay to replace it. Lifetime responded immediately and shipped a replacement free of charge! Thank you Lifetime for your quick response and for your excellent customer support.

We purchased two of these for our kids to use, and they love them! It's hard for them to intentionally fall off because they are so stable. Even my little 5-year-old is able to maneuver it with ease. The only problem with it is that it's so fun to play with, everyone at the beach wants a turn on it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our 6 year old for Christmas and he loves it! It's the perfect size and he is easily able to paddle it without assistance. We get asked where we got it by people every time we are out on the water. We will be buying ones for our younger boys when they are older for sure!

I considered buying this last summer and hesitated, but I took the plunge and picked it up this season. I am so glad I did! It is light and portable and easy for both my five-year-old and my seven-year-old to handle. My seven-year-old can launch it into the water off the dock by himself and it’s so stable he pretends it’s a Paddle board. When he decides to take a swim to cool off while paddling it’s also very easy for him to climb back on in the middle of the lake. Love it. Especially love that we can all go out paddling together.

My kids love these kayaks. One of my older sons will take the 2 year old with them on the kayak and she loves it too. Great for flat water fun on the lake. They do not tip easily and have a little handle up front that the kids can use to drag the kayak back up the beach without trouble. Highly recommend.
