Looking for sled options

I'm not trying to start a bashing war here, so lets not go there. I'm a die hard Polaris guy and am looking at sleds for the wife and kids - kids being 3 and riding along with mom and dad for some time. Sno-Coach is out as the kids already don't like being in one. They want to ride with mom and dad lol.

Long story short, I went to a dealer the other day and have been looking on-line for options. My opinions....Polaris has really gotten out of the two-up market. The 550 LXT 144 Indy seems underpowered and lacks a lot of the creature comforts of the old IX LXT two ups. Also, IMO, the Indy Adventure rear seat seemed uncomfortable, for lack of a better term. Also would it be underpowered with a fanner and the 155 or 155? The 600 IQ Widetrak just seemed like a tank.

Also tried out some Doo's. I was impressed with the +1 seat design for a passenger and that system could be placed on any Doo.

So, I guess my question is, what to do with the kids as they get older. Would a Seat Jack work on an Indy? I was told that due to patent issues, Polaris can't do a +1 seat. Can you somehow bolt a two up seat on the longer tunnels like on 90's era Indy's?

Thanks.
 
You already said it about the doo being able to put it on any sled and not having to sacrifice your sick ripper for a fan motor. Pretty easy to take it back off for when ya go on a guys trip or dont need it, Thats what my dad did not only for us kids but for when my mom didn't have a sled. I think he had the only summit 800 x package with mirrors and a two up seat lol! They also hold their value pretty well when you no longer need it.
