Did a quick search and didn't see anything.

I'm looking for some kind of large inflatable tube to tow a few kids around in the fields. Prefer to find something at a local store. Anyone found anything that works super great and isn't $100??

i got a 2 seat watersports tow tube with the tow rope off c/l for $60. works good on snow as long as you ease into the throttle.doubtful you can find a new one in store that will withstand for under $100.
When we were kids we just grabbed an old tractor tube and baler twine and pulled it behind quads. Todays kids are a bit more fragile so I figured I'd get something a little better. LOL. I always wanted to try an old car hood from the junk yard...

I don't have any experience with snow, but in my younger/dumber days we used all kinds of stuff to pull behind jet skies, boats, even quads when hurricanes came by and flooded the streets 😆😂

I have found kids to be as fragile or tough as you raise them to be.

We used a hood from a mid 90s full side GM truck. It works great. Definitely dangerous but we've had a blast dragging then around many times.

We used to use tubes but I’ve had a utility sled for years now, works great.

Ya something about an old hood😊idk I’ve always felt like just anything is fun. Those cheap plastic sleds don’t seem to hold up the best. Last year we used a couple plastic garbage can lids and they held up ok.

I use a utility sled. I picked it up from Cabela’s. Tubes pop. This is thick plastic with high sides. Make sure the rope is long enough. I make them wear helmets and only I pull them. Enjoy. 😎

We had like an old 50s truck hood with the rounded nose. Boy that was a blast. Basically indestructible
I think some of us had a slightly different childhood and upbringing then some of the kids now. It was just about finding some fun.
