I founs a nice polaris 340,not sure how it turns,i know not every sled will be the best, but lookin for something to ride trails and a bit of powder, hes still pretty young for deep stuff.
Indy light or bravo
A good friend of mine got a Ski Doo Freestyle Backcountry for his 6 yr old.
Very manageable sled, decent deep snow perf and not too much power.

My son is 7, he rides a yamy bravo. They are cheap and are eazy to sell if they grow out of it. its a good little sled, I put an edge rmk seat on it and ski skins. The seat makes it a bit better to ride for the lil guys and the skis make the steering better.
would like an 01/02 pro x 440 or XC 600 polaris be too much for him? It would for sure give him plenty of room to grow. and you could always put a block or something on the throttle to keep him from getting too much power...

Polaris Indy Lite, or Yamaha Ovation. Both 340cc fanners and reasonably light. I put rail grips, skid plate and plastic skis on my Indy Lite and it behaves very well for the 8 year old. It is surprising how much snow it will motor through.
How much are you looking to spend

We started our kids when they were 6 on a 340 Indy Lite. When they got to be about 10-12ish depending on their size and ability then we moved them up to a bigger sled.
