Choosing and Connecting A Tube for Kids

Having been tubing since the 70's ( damn, has it been that long? ) I can tell you that quality matters. There is a reason why one tube is $60 and the other is $200. Durability, position of the handles, comfort.

Speaking of the 70's, before commercial ski tubes were really out, did anyone take a big black inner tube, tie the ski rope to it, and have the boat pull you? Bit of an adventure and preying that fill nozzle did not poke you.
