It was just what I expected. Bought it for grandson's birthday. So happy there was no shipping charge as this item was already $10.00 more expensive than the exact one I purchased at Sam's two weeks prior. We haven't given it to our grandson yet, but it looks in perfect shape and we think it will be a real hit for him for his birthday.

We just recently moved from NY to FL. My husband and I are avid Kayakers. Our daughter often goes with us and paddle boards as well. She is 6 - with the move to a warmer climate it offers the opportunity to be in that water more often. My daughter actually saw a similar product but they could not get it to us by Christmas. The Kayak came ( with no extra shipping costs) earlier than stated. The design and quality was far surpassed what I expected she will actually be able to truly kayak in this. When we were action last year in the Blue Ridge Mountains we rented kayaks and My daughter wanted to paddle board. They had a hybrid of a sit on top kayak that was able to be used for SUP. This is exactly what it was. I have searched for that item and was unable to find it. This is it. My husband and I have what would be high end kayaks, the design and materials that this unit is made of is identical. It is a one piece body and hull which is key to a good kayak. The paddle include - I assumed we would have to purchase a better one - I WAS WRONG the paddle is well made and the diameter of the Paddle is smaller to fit into a smaller hand. The price is far below what the value of this product is. The sit on top design has goober notch placement for her feet. There is a the ability to add a comfortable seat, and the open back design is ideal of children to get in ad out of. The First this she did when she discovered it under the tree Christmas morning was point out that she kayak SUP and she was right there is the perfect area that provides balance for her feet. We have a large neighborhood lake that the houses are built around eager to get in she got her life jacket and took to it. starting seated then went onto her knees and well - lets just say she does not want a seat. This is the exact same product we rented on vacation just in her size. AND PINK OF COURSE. Lastly being that we are in an area where there are endless places to kayak and kids can tucker out there is a told toggle at the front that will be ideal for towing her through waters she might not be able to animate or when she just wants to chill. Today might be our first day out. I would highly recommend this product Im certain I will be buying another ( my 4 year old son will be ready to go soon and well he can't do pink I Truly did not anticipate this level of quality at this price point. I would also recommend marketing the product as a hybrid of a SUP and sit on top Kayak because hat is what it is. I don't know if your company makes seats for the kayaks as well but I found seats that are the same maker as our high end kayaks that would seamlessly fit into here providing the ability to enjoy a day out on the water. OH DID I MENTION THE GUARANTEE ? A lifetime guarantee. I know sound too good to be true. I imagine that if this product got in the hands of product placement and was read about and discovered by more outdoors people like us the would be SO HOT. Get it now before it takes off and the price doubles. You would pay that much to rent a kayak for the day In most places. Best purchase of the Holiday and it will be of great use. If You are looking to introduce your child into kayaking this is the way to go. It is really pretty too.

I am a 5'7" 50-something woman and I love this kayak! I was looking for a light weight kayak as my old one was getting too heavy for me to carry. This is very easy to carry and also fits into the back of my crossover (with the hatch closed). I use it on the local rivers. It seems very well-built and is sturdy. The paddle is great. I've had mine for 2 years and have had no issue. You do get your seat wet due to the scupper holes. You can have a half inch of water inside. I bought some plugs. I weigh 130lbs. My husband tried it and did not sink - he weighs 200.

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!

I bought this for my 5 year old daughter. We just took it out on the lake it was super choppy and she did well with it never fell off we did get a seat separately so she could be more comfortable. All in all I’m very happy with this purchase my daughter loves that it’s pink.

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!

I bought one for my 4 year old daughter and another for my 3 year old son. Landon S. was such a big help in helping us choose what was right for us! My daughter can maneuver easily and very well on her own, plus she's only about 45 lbs. so she has a long life out of this until she's up to the 135 lb weight limit.

We bought 2 of these for our kids for christmas. We love them! We use them for fishing on fishing lakes/ponds and any lake we can get on! I was suprised that it could hold my weight also . I'm over the weight limit it suggests, but I ride them just fine. I fight my kids to use them! We love them so much hoping to get more under the tree this year

Our 3 year old boy used one of these recently at a swimming hole we visit, and he was enamored! We did not even have to teach him how to maneuver it. He got out there and rowed all over the swimming hole. The boat is very stable and easy to steer - he never fell off. I bought him one for his 4th birthday, and he loves it. What a great price too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a couple of lifetime support which we love, but our young children had a harder time controlling them on the lake. The youth kayak was the perfect solution. It's easy for our kids to use and control even on a windy lake. We had a fabulous time on the lake! Thank you lifetime for helping us create memories.
