There is a tube out there called Big Mable that is pretty good- it's big, so it's stable, and has two different tow points, so you can use it like a "chariot" or almost like a couch, so you have a backrest. They are a bit more pricey (250 +/-) but you can comfortably fit one or two people. The downside to it being big is, well, it's big. Storage might be a little problem if you are out for the day without any place to drop it off. As far as the tow bar goes- you will be fine pulling a 5 year old, if it were a couple of teenagers that you were trying to throw off, you might put too much stress on the bar. I would have to agree with everyone else- probably a good idea to ride with an adult first, just to make sure they are comfortable. Either way- be safe and have a blast!
