After careful (read crazy) research I went with the O'brien Relax 2. We have two little ones (3 & 2) and wanted something cozy and safe enough for an adult to ride with two littles.
After a mishap with delivery we ended up with two of them - also good as the first one was slowly deflating after one use. We returned this one and have not used the second yet but plan to put it through its paces this weekend with large party at the lake. Little bit more pricey but in my experience O'Brien has been a pretty reputable name in water sports for the better part of 3 decades. The delivery debacle also afforded us a small rebate.
Did you get a chance to use this ? I was thinking about picking up one of these and wondered what your thoughts were.
It's awesome. It's like sitting on a couch in the water. Actually really nice for lounging in the water too, either off the boat or off the shore.
It's a far cry from the tubes we used when I was a kid - read ACTUAL inner tubes for large truck tires... the ones with the metal tubes poking out. We'd just tie a tow rope around them. Dangerous as all get out. Also creators of many of my favorite memories.
Thanks for the info.
My boat seems fill up with little people age 5 and under and my current tubes didn't really work for them.
I think I might still have a scar from one of those metal tubes.

5 and Under its perfect. Sit a Big in the middle of the Littles. Exactly why I got it. Only odd thing is it dips back when going really slow. On a plane it's like sitting on a couch.
I have used them many times and never had an issue except once. One of the tubes I bought was missing the plug and since I bought it off season it was like 3 or 4 months later when I found the issue. The sent me a new tube immediately and I received it in a week at no charge. They have always shipped on time otherwise.
