These kayaks are perfect for kids. They are sturdy and can be used in multiple ways. My four year old likes to use half the paddle like you would for a canoe. My seven year old learned to use the full paddle quickly and also has used it like a paddle board. We also were able to connect them to larger kayaks and tow them around the lake for a while. Both kids have already used them several times at the beach for at least an hour before they were ready to stop. These are a great purchase!

We use these in the pool as well as the lake. The kids love to play "King of the Kayak". One person is king and the others try to get the king off and then scramble up to be the new king. My son also likes to just lay on it while it floats in the pool and he listens to his tunes.

I bought this kayak on sale for just over $80 specifically for my two granddaughters, aged 8 and 13. The kayak fit them both well although the older one might grow out of it my next summer. When it came time to try it our on flat, calm water, both of them took right off and had the hang of paddling in no time. Neither one had any prior experience kayaking. I was very impressed by how well the kayak tracked with minimum effort. The older granddaughter even took down some small rapids. Great buy and a lot of fun. Be aware the shipping took close to 2 weeks despite what you are told by the tracking info.

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!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife wanted a kayak for the kids so we got a kayak for the kids! We use this at Colter bay in Wyoming. While all the adults paddle board this kids kayak. Very sturdy. Well built and can even hold a smaller adult. What a great deal for a kayak and paddle!

This kayak is wonderful... and very awkward. There is a front toggle... however nothing at all at the back end. I understand with the swim platform it makes it difficult, however, the kayak is very hard to get ahold of if you are just one person. I don’t want to drag it on my concrete driveway from garage to truck. Carrying on the shoulder is difficult because my arms aren’t long enough. Also, the paddle could use a drip guard, it did not come with it.

These kayaks are perfect for kids and smaller adults. They definitely won't support a larger adult FYI but the kids love them. They're light enough that I can grab one out of the water and carry it up to the car with one hand while holding the baby on my other hip. Easy to load. Great value.

My son is 7 and this is a stable beginner kayak! Great value and easy to carry at 20 lbs for him. I would highly recommend this kayak and brand! I have a Lifetime and payed way more at REI for it and payed almost 260 dollars less for the same kayak for my son here! Enjoy the several hours and summer fun with this kayak!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Wave Kayak is a great product. I love that my 6 year old got on this year by himself and figured out to get around in less than 5 minutes. They are very light to carry and easy to transport. Thanks Lifetime for making a lightweight, intuitive, and water equipment for my kids to enjoy.

Good quality and the kids can easily navigate with the paddles. I was impressed how stable they appear to be and the kids haven't fallen off them even goofing around on them. The only downside is being flat and with holes in it that it's a challenge to stay dry.
