[Island Girl]

There are several disadvantages to a 2-up.. (I have one) The person on the back usually does not have that much fun. If you do not share the driving with the person on the back then he or she might not think sledding is fun. If you buy two 2-up sleds so the kids can ride in the back, that is a different story.

A 2-up is fine if you are just using it to get to an island camp in the winter.

A new sledder might not want to have another person on the back on trails. Cornering is much more difficult and the sled may slide out into a tree..

I would suggest going away for a weekend where you can rent sleds and try them out. You may find you need 1,2 or more depending on your enthusiasm for the sport or find out your mate just hates it. This way you have not invested in something you will have to sell and lose money.

I just love snowmobiling, and hate being on the back. I share the driving with my guest rider so neither of us has the burden of being on back.
