My kids love this kayak. It’s a nice option for my 6 and 9 year old. They are able to kayak well on their own. It’s pretty light weight too make it easy to get in and out of the water. My 9 year old can lift it by himself. I highly recommend getting it.

Great kayak for kids of all ages. Stable, lightweight, durable and easy to clean. Our 4 year old is already learning how to paddle himself around and our 2 year old can actually pull the kayak in and out of the water with the handle. Haven't used the foam back support since it got in the way of kids crawling up into the kayak from behind (it does look somewhat flimsy.) Was very happy to find that the youth lifetime paddle is included in the package since it was not in the description. Although we joke that they look like big floating bananas, the bright color makes it easy to spot kids out on the water.

This is the fifth Wave that I have gotten for my Grandkids,they hold up great and third season for two of them!I recommend them highly and the rice is excellent.None of them weigh more 70 lbs but the kayak is rated at 140lbs!Point being they could easily handle more !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The durability of this product matches all Lifetime products! It holds up to my kids dragging it around and playing on it. They love the ease of the sit on top design and can paddle easily. We've really been happy with the youth kayak! I look forward to adding some adult kayaks to the collection some day too!

I bought two last year, and my girls had so much fun, unfortunatelly they are so easy to carry that they were stolen from my 34 footer in Oxnard, CA, now i'm just waiting for the prices to go down to last year prices to get them again, but this time i'll lock them up.

We purchased 2 of these kayaks a year ago for our grand kids to use. they have payed for their selves many times. they are so sturdy and rugged and with stand kids. they are easy for them to paddle and they will out last the kids i'm sure. the smiles on their faces tell me it was a great investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the wave a few years ago. The kids and their cousins spend hours on end paddling around and enjoying different lakes and ponds. I love that they are outside and getting exercise as well. Thank you for making such great products that last.

At $90, shipping included, you can’t beat this kayak. I ordered one for my six year old, who has been asking to go kayaking with me. She is very tall for her age, but was the perfect size for the kayak. She was able to handle it easily. It is very light and easy to carry (though could use a handle on both ends). Ours does not have a back rest, but it does not seem necessary. Highly recommended.

Easy to carry, well-designed little boat, perfect for this 110 lb 57-year old to go exploring the bay shore. Works surprisingly well. I took it out yesterday for the first time, transporting it in my Fit with a tarp, and it was a breeze to carry and to hose off afterwards. I wasn't looking for professional quality, just an easy, functional boat to explore around in, and this fills the bill.

I bought this kayak for my 8 year-old daughter this past summer and she loves it! She is able to easily maneuver it in the water and can keep up with me on my kayak. The first time on the water she had it all figured out, we don't leave home without it when we go to any waterway. It's very durable, easy to haul, and she is even able to row with a friend on with her also. I would definitely recommend this item to friend and family.
