We have had two youth kayaks for several years and are very happy with them. I have had to contact Lifetime twice, once to order an accessory for each and recently to order replacement plugs which had mysteriously disappeared. In both cases, the experience was wonderful! Inquiries are dealt with in a timely manner, and both of our needs have been met satisfactorily. I am impressed! Keep up the good work, Lifetime!

This is well designed for kids! My 7&8 year old girls got on these and were able to handle them instantly. We've been out on a calm river for hours at a time. They LOVE them! They are really sturdy and pretty well made for the price. For an entry level, kid-size kayak, they are a good value. Walmart's price is better than most sellers. The kayak arrived within 3 days and was in perfect condition. The same can not be said for other sellers: Only a few companies carry these, and even though they are made in red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink, each vendor seems to only carry two colors. My kids wanted pink and blue, and I wanted green (I"m a petite adult and this size works for me too!). Walmart only carries green and orange. So I ordered the pink and blue versions from the other well known toy-seller with the backwards R in their name. That order was processed much more slowly, one of the two kayaks arrived damaged, and getting it replaced or returned for a credit has been extremely difficult--laden with shipping problems and delays. I highly recommend buying these from Walmart instead of TxxRxS. In fact, I've given up on getting the replacement blue kayak and am now working on getting a full refund. If I ever get my credit from them for the broken blue one, I will turn right around and order the orange kayak from Walmart! Now just to convince the kids that Pink, Green, and Orange is better than Pink, Green, and Broken Blue! Anyway, this is a great product and Walmart is good at customer service, online order fulfillment, and product delivery. Happy Kayaking!

We live on the lake year round so sometimes the grandkids tend to take the lake for granted. This little kayak revved up their interest and is still doing its job. Easy to paddle, light to handle and very attractive -our whole family really enjoys this little gem. Highly recommended for an inland lake.

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 !

The kayak is a perfect size and love the 2 sided oar that comes with it. My son loves it. The only thing I didn't know was that it has a hole in the bottom of the kayak so everytime he gets in it he gets very wet, which is fine in the summer, but not so good in the fall when it's not quite as warm. Other than that, it is a perfect gift for a younger child who likes to kayak.

We bought this for my son's 8th birthday. It was all he wanted this year. He took it out on the lake once and one of the main back plugs fell out causing the kayak to fill up with water rendering it pretty useless for the day. The one "Lifetime" sticker on the kayak is about to fall off. I called and spoke with a customer service agent and although he was super nice and very apologetic he was also shocked that the company had stickers on the kayaks and not metal signs like they had in the past. If I had to guess, all of the these 5 stars reviews got the older models and not what my poor kiddo has. I would say "you get what you pay for" but it was pretty expensive. They are going to ship an extra plug to our house, but they are back ordered and apparently they don't have extra signs or stickers to give us. My son is pretty disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mom bought theses in Blue and Orange for my 7 year old twins. They absolutely love them. We have even taken friend out to use them. I thought I would see how the weight limit was. It was fun it floated just fine. I would definitely recommend getting it for your kiddos if under 130 lbs if over that get them a bigger one. They are addicting and so easy and fun to play with.

we got this kayak for our kids, ages 7 & 4. it's perfect for them in just a pond or lake. I for sure wouldn't use it on moving water. the weight restriction is for real - I wouldn't put more than 100 pounds on it. I'm glad we got it, and lots of people have asked us where we got it.

we bought two of these kayaks one for our 5 yr old and one for our 10 year old. they both can easily use these kayaks. we have used them on the lake in tahoe as eel as the bay in pt reyes ca. my kids love them and they are easy to transport on the roof of my small suv. we will buy these again!

We bought 2 of these for our grandkids, 6 & 7. The size and flotation are perfect for their smaller forms. Both kids mastered paddling and steering in a short time and we were quickly off exploring the coastline. They even shared with other kids at the beach who had great fun with them too. Our experience shows that putting an adult on board with a kid is pushing the limits (130# limit according to the specs). We expect to get at least a 1/2 dozen years worth of paddling fun out of these. Also looking forward to kayak sledding this winter here in the North country!
