The Kid Kick Wavemaster is our favorite punching bag for kids on the market. It can be adjusted up to an impressive height of 62″, while the soft body is wide enough for easy kicking and punching.

The first thing that comes to mind when looking at the Kid Kick Wavemaster is that it’s basically a child-friendly version of The Original Wavemaster. It is, in fact manufactured by the same company, and we found that it comes with all the quality of many punching bags for adults and professionals.

It has a total of 4 height adjustments – more than most bags we’ve come across. The size can easily be adjusted to accommodate kicking or punching practice and allows children to use it as they grow in size and strength. Additionally, this freestanding bag comes with a limited 1-year warranty.

The maximum height of the Kid Kick Wavemaster is 5’2″, which makes it taller than most kids punching bags we’ve come across. The empty plastic base can be filled with water or sand, and it’s around 170lbs heavy when filled – which should be plenty for children – but be advised that a strong punch from an adult may topple this bag over. If your child is a young adult that’s particularly large for their age, we suggest you go with The similarly priced Original Wavemaster, or the Wavemaster XXL instead.

The high impact foam surface appears to be soft and smooth, covered with durable nylon – something that we didn’t see in some professional equipment, let alone in bags for children. It’s very easy to store and move around, as you can simply topple it and use the base to roll it around. Still, your child may need plenty of space in order to be able to throw punches and kicks, so consider it’s placement appropriately.

As for the price, we found it to be slightly more expensive than some kids punching bags, but this is justified. The Kid Kick Wavemaster a genuine piece of boxing equipment, intended for young martial artists that are serious about their sport. If you’re just looking for a casual way to keep your child occupied and entertained, we suggest that you consider a more affordable option.
