Wanna take my kids tubing in the bay behind Orange Beach in a few weeks. Probably need one that will pull 3 kids at a time max.

There is no difference really if all you want to do is pull the kids around.
Just decide if you want a flat one so you can throw them off or the lounger style that has sides and a back rest.
I;d jsut get the flat one they sell at Academy in whatever size you want.

We tried the flat kind, but our kids were too small/light, and the damn thing acted like a crankbait. The kind with seat backs work better for little kids.

,,,nahh screw that,my 8 year old daughter would be terrified and never give it a try ever again. I'll look for one with the sides on it. The ones that are triangle shaped,those any better than the round ones?

Yeah, the little girl started crying immediately. The boy did not, but he told us he did not like laying down on it. I think his tiny hands(5yo) are not enough to really hold on like that. I like the triangle better.

If you want the sides, I second the triangle shape.

tubing in salt water sucks. the mist of salt water in the eyes isnt very pleasant

I have this Obrien and the only thing I hate about it is it will rub your forearms, elbows and stomach raw. The neoprene padding is worthless. you almost need elbow pads to ride it more than 20 min.
So, not sure what I would recommend, but I will say dont buy this one

I have one for sale if you want it. I can't use it anywhere around here.
How old are the kids? it kind of makes a difference on which route you go.
You could always get the Barf Ball

Big Bertha is the name of the tube we use.
