I would verify with the dealer that the "tower" is rated for a tube. Pulling a skier vs a tube is a big difference in drag. A lot of them are not rated to do it this way, you have to hook on to the stainless hooks on either side of the transom with a harness that goes past the motor before joining into one rope to the tube. Take a wakeboard boat for instance, the towers are not rated for tubes. This has to do with overall stress and the angle of the rope.
There are hundreds of models of tubes. We have an Airhead that has fins for tracking and great handles. We also have a giant 3 person Airhead that is very stable for the little ones. I can find a pic online if you would like to see them. Out of the 2 I would go with the 3 person, seating hte child in the middle.
