I bought this a few weeks back and after our initial launch with the kids using it we were disappointed it took on and retained water inside, only then to realize the two needed top plugs were missing altogether, obviously a potential safety hazard. We contacted the company by email and explained what was needed and provided our model and serial number and were extremely pleased with the reply. Nearly immediately were had a + response and assurances the plugs would be sent, and within a few days they were received, installed in a matter of a minute, and we have full peace of mind. Great customer service, and the kids love using this fun (and now safe) product!

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 bought 3 for my grandkids, they love them. They are lite and easy to handle. The kids were able to maneuver the kayak through the irrigation ditches as well as on the lake. I would recommend this product to a anyone looking for an inexpensive, lite weight watercraft that you don't want to worry about puncturing or popping.

Awesome kayak. Got this for our four year old grandson. He can maneuver it easily in the pool and creek. He is excited to kayak in his own kayak. He had been using his older cousins kayak. Smooth sides is great. Looks like this will be used daily on our 177 acre spread.

Great quality product! My 6 year old just loves it. It’s very easy to use. Safe and well built. Loads of fun! I will be purchasing another for myself! Very happy with it! Also great customer service by Jose. He was kind and patient. Allowed for a cash shipment of a part that was missing from my Wal-Mart order. Huge thank you for your ease and kindness.

Cute little "pepto" pink sit on top kayak.  My daughter is 9 & this is perfect for her.  It says up to 120 lbs.  Definitely made for a child.  The pink is super cute & the material is indestructible! It even came with a free black kayak paddle!  Great price & EXCEPTIONAL customer service rep Heather!!!!!! My daughter was thrilled as one of her Christmas gifts!!

Having been introduced to canoeing and kayaking through a dedicated, 9 day "Ground School" and "On-the-Water" practical training program in the mid 1950's; where, safety, courtesy and respect for both the environment; and, an individual's watercraft; was focused on and stressed; a lifetime of kayaking enjoyment on breathtakingly beautiful lakes and on fast, dynamic rivers has been happily fulfilled. Wanting to pass this same first-rate lifetime experience along to our grand children, the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak was purchased; and, being a family of honest-to-goodness waterdogs; we could not be more pleased with the quality of the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak. It is clearly understood now why so many kayaking enthusiasts give this sleek and graceful kayak such superlative online reviews. Having purchased the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak ourselves, we certainly agree that the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak is a smart choice with unbeatable quality. Additionally, we are so happy that preeminent products like Lifetime Kayaks are made in the U.S.A.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pink and a green youth kayak to spend more time outside with the kids. One concern lose their safety. The children have been extremely safe on these kayaks they have not once flipped on them and when they get off they're able to get back on them very easily. The kids also are able to mover the kayak with ease. The big colors put parents minds at ease with keeping an eye on them.

Great product. This is my second purchase. Bought one for both grandkids (3 and 5). We use a tether line to go long distances on the lake and both can paddle. Highly recommend for little ones! Although it can hold up to 120 lbs not an adult kayak.

My 8 year old grandson LOVES this kayak!!! The first day we surprised him with it, he spent seven hours on it, taking breaks only to eat and go to the bathroom! He picked up the paddling immediately. It is very stable and light weight. Have since taken him kayaking several times, lake and river (not whitewater). He loves it!
