The Lifetime Youth Wave Kayak is the perfect choice for parents looking to introduce their children to kayaking. With its lightweight design and easy maneuverability, this sit-on-top kayak is a great way to get kids started on their paddling journey. Weighing in at only 18 pounds, it’s light enough for even young kids to carry around without too much difficulty. And thanks to its wide hull and low center of gravity, it’s incredibly stable and difficult to capsize - making it ideal for those just starting out in the sport.

The Youth Wave also features plenty of storage options so that your child can bring along all the essentials they need when exploring waterways or spending time at the beach. There are several places on either side of the boat where you can attach items such as water bottles or life jackets, plus there’s a scupper hole which helps keep any sand or debris from getting into the boat itself. The included two piece paddle has an aluminum shaft which makes it lightweight yet durable - allowing even small hands to grip comfortably while still providing good power output during paddling sessions.

Not only does this kayak offer great performance but it also looks fantastic too! With its bright colors and sleek lines, your child will be proud showing off their new ride out on the water - especially when accompanied by some cool accessories like a seat cushion or paddle leash (both sold separately). Plus with its 120 pound weight capacity rating you know that this boat will last them many years down the line.

Overall we highly recommend Lifetime's Youth Wave Kayak as an excellent starter vessel for budding young adventurers who want something safe yet fun while learning how to paddle properly. It offers great stability combined with plenty of storage space so that they have everything they need right there with them while exploring nature up close and personal!
