Better than expected! My 9 year old daughter had zero trouble cutting through the water and keeping up with the adults in this kayak. I modified it by adding a seat using some waterproof rivets but other than that it all went perfect.

Got one for my 7 year old Grandson for Christmas. He went out on the lake here in NC the next day. It was very stable and he was able to maneuver and paddle it very easily. He thinks it is great to be able to go where he wants to explore.

I purchased the Lifetime Wave 6ft youth Kayak for my granddaughters birthday. She LOVES it ! She just turned nine and it is perfect. Very pleased with the quality of the product.

My daughter has been asking for a kayak for months, so glad we finally got this one. Perfect for her, as a beginner. She even towed her little sister around on the back for a while! Solid hard plastic, seems very durable. Very happy with the purchase!

I bought one of these for each of my two boys when they were 5 years old. They love paddling around on lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and the Pamlico Sound. These are very stable and easy for kids to paddle. It makes them proud to have their own boats just like dad. We like these well enough that I bought a second pair to leave in Tennessee.

Great kids kayak! My kids use it everyday and love it. Durable and it fits in my car (SUV) for easy transport. Thrilled that Sam’s had these in stock and had the best price by far.

I bought two of these for my daughters ages 8 and 11 to enjoy this summer. They've already spent countless hours on them, even turning them into paddle boards they can stand on. Totally worth it!

Very well built and light weight. A 107 lb., 160 lb. and two children 6 yr and 4yr tried it out. It was a lot of fun. Easy to maneuver. Kids took to it right away and looked like pros.

My kids absolutely love these! The size is perfect for them ( 5yo & 7yo) to paddle them selves and steer well! We get asked about them all the time, a few of their friends have gotten one as well!

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.
