[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.

I have 2 of these kayaks. The kids enjoy them so much. They’re light enough for us to haul without dad along. At about 5ish they’ve started on them and get the concept down. It’s been so fun to watch them learn and get better. I don’t have any complaints!

I had this 'kids kayak' for years and my grandchildren loved it --- hours of great fun. Everyone wanted a time to kayak on the what we called the 'water wheelbarrow'. Recommend it to anyone. Purchased this one because the other floated away - hope someone is still using it!

We wanted to get our 5 & 9 year olds kayaks since they’ve been asking to go out with us. They showed to expect delivery by 7/30. However, we got them a week after placing our order. They’re perfect size & the kids have room to grow. They came wrapped & with matching paddles. The kids are so excited & so are we. Would definitely recommend! :)

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 ordered these for our two youngest children ages 5 and 7. The first time out on the river we tied them to a tree just in case the current was too strong for them, but they tackled it with ease. They can scoot through the water like little torpedoes! We are amazed at how easily they can maneuver them around - our four children ended up in a game of kayak tag and the younger ones were much more agile. Stable enough my 7 year old enjoys standing up and paddling.

Really excited to take this to the lakes this summer and play around with my daughter. If ordering from Walmart .com make sure to give yourself plenty of time. The day it was stated to arrive it shipped. Just fair warning on even site to store items.

It's the perfect size for my 8 year old daughter, our only issue is that it doesn't come with a backrest and the universal ones you can buy don't fit it. If you get one definitely look into getting a backrest for it because it gives them the stability they need to paddle.

I am a grandparent with two five year old grandchildren. I generally don't give reviews good or bad. However, after reading several hundred reviews on line, and appreciating your staff response. I felt compelled to add my experience after recently buying two of your yellow kayaks at our local Walmart store. We are a kayak family, and I've owned thee top of the line kayaks for over 35 years. I've noticed our Walmart selling for the very first time the Blue and Yellow Yaks. My immediate overall assessment was price & quality, and you passed the test. My observation indicated no back rest nor hooks provided for both yaks. Until reading the reviews, I was not aware that option or the kayaks being made available on line. The back rest was not a show stopper after reading the number of issues folks were having. What I felt could improve your product without an additional price markup are the following items. Add two kayak handles at the swim platform area for little hands to hold, and pull them selves out of the water. Add a kayak seat pad for comfort only. Add a metal tie off support rings at the front for attaching a safety line until they mastered the art or getting towed. Add a drip guard to the provided paddle as no one enjoys water running to the armpit. I purchased rubber gulf balls to use as scupper plugs at Walmart. However in doing so I realized your scupper holes were not standard size, and therefor worked the bottom side hole to fit. I live near the ocean, and between slow moving rivers, I expect the modifications will be useful at both locations. Thank You, for the joy this product brings our little people. I gave this four stars based on one or two simple recommendations listed above.

Easily maneuverable by a 5 year old, yet fits my 8yr old well too! Pretty light weight and the kids can drag into the water and get on by themselves. The price is right! Two can actually fit on the inside of my minivan with the middle row center seat gone and the back seats folded down!
