We received the Kayak site-to-store in less time than estimated. Was in good shape but does come in a clear plastic bag - good to know if it's a gift! We ordered the yellow and it did come with back support and paddle. Our daughter is about to turn 9, 55 lbs., avg. height and she loved it! We went kayaking Christmas Day! Fits her well with a little room to grow, very stable. Great first kayak!

Bought the yellow kayak for my kids age 4 and 5. They love it! It seems safe though they wear life jackets. I highly recommend. Just a side note, we live in Hawaii and the cost to ship was ridiculous. There is also no ship to store option which is lame because they obviously ship items here everyday. On the bright side, we live in Hawaii and my kids can enjoy the kayak at gorgeous beaches almost any day of the year. The yellow kayak comes with back support.

Great kayak for my 10 year old & 6 year old! We were on the st. Lawerence river for a week & the kids used it every day. I am a little over the weight limit & was able to use it myself! Thinking of getting another one next year so both kids can use at same time!

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.

We have had these Kayaks for a couple of years and get so much use out of it. The only compliant is getting back pain after a long trip. Called customer service and it was amazing service. Only on hold for a minute or two before a live person came on and was so pleasant and helpful. He placed an order for the backrests in minutes. It was one of the best experiences I have had with a customer service department.

I just bought this kayak for my child who has never kayaked before. She and her friend got the hang of it almost immediately. It's easy to use and transport. Also, one of the plugs at the back of the kayak was missing. Customer Service got right on it and shipped me a new one right away. I am so happy I made this purchase.

I first saw this kayak in the Walmart store, but it was the display item. So I went on line to order this for my 8 yr old. When ordering this kayak it came up on walmart.com at 119.00 and the store display was 114.00. Ok, well I wasn't going to worry about the $5 difference. Next I got to choose from yellow, which was the one I saw on display, or orange. I opted for orange as we have a couple adult yellow kayaks and though that the orange would be different. It arrived to my walmart store a day early - which is great. Perfect condition BUT be warned, the orange one DOES NOT come with a back rest. The yellow one does. Why? I don't know. Same exact kayak, same exact price between yellow or orange on website but no back rest. Not that it's an amazing addition but it's definitely worth having. Now it looks like (as of today anyways) that you can't even buy the yellow one on-line. Only orange. My Walmart store is wonderful and allowed me to exchange the orange one for the display yellow kayak. So I'm pretty happy. Just be warned.

Pleased with the product. I bought the kayak as a Christmas gift for my 9 and 5 yr old boys. Very disappointed in how Walmart packaged to ship it. As a result, the kayak was damaged, scuffed into the plastic and the drainplug damaged and pushed into the vessel. I didn't want to deal with trying to return/exchange so I called the makers of the kayak and ordered another plug. I will definitely have my big orders sent to store next time!!

Awesome kayaks for kids. Easy for them to get on and off of it even in the water. We attached the kids kayaks by rope to ours and towed them behind so they can learn to paddle (4 year old and 6 year old). They love them, and should last for a long time as the weight limit is up to 130lbs.

My kids love this kayak. The paddles were a bit short but I needed larger paddles for my tioga so I passed the ones included with that to them. Very easy for my 9 and 10 year olds to carry themselves and easy to maneuver. Next year I'll be moving my 13 year old up to an 8 foot kayak and these 2 will be just for the younger 2 otherwise I wouldn't have hesitated to but a third.
