how much does the 66" ramp weigh and how small does it fold? will it fit in the back of a Forester with the dog?

I also drive a Forester, and hold a full size dog crate in the rear. (Labrador Retriever). The ramp fits neatly and snugly without a giggle to the left of our crate. The ramp folds in half and I am able to lift it easily. It may weigh approx. 15-20 lbs. (I am guessing) You grip the ramp from the inside. No handle to get in the way. The top of the inside gap has hand guides for carrying .Hope this helps.

It folds inhalf..it is bulky as there is no handle to hang on to...the surface is slippery for the dog to go up and down on. I covered it with the rubberized stuff they use as drawer liners. I was NOT happy with the product.

It is lite and it folds in half, I think no problem for your forester. However that said, I returned it b/c my dog did not want to walk on the sandpapery surface that covers the ramp.

Hello Sherry, I have a Queensland Heeler that I place in my Cad Escalade. I taught him how to walk up the Tri fold Pet Ramp, It took a few times for him to get used to it, but its the best thing to happen to my back...no heavy lifting and the Ramp is easy to fold up...and take it to you destination and return...Sherry, you have two smart big canines that can be taught to do anything. The Pet ramp will be a breeze...just a little patience, that's all! Enjoy the Ramp! JWS

It does fold some but not flat. We can put it in a trunk but not a lot of room.

Unfortunately, I am unable to give the exact dimensions but I can say that the folding beds are very compact. We ordered two and both fit easily in the back of our Subaru Forrester. Also, I think you can find the dimensions in the description of the beds.

We have a Nissan Pathfinder and with the rear handles folded down easily fits in the back even with the front tire left on...lightweight aluminum frame makes it easy to Place in the back of the Pathfinder.... we found this to be the hot tip when we take our older dog along 2 or 3 mile walks. just too far for him. and since he's a dachshund there's still plenty of room you want to Walk to the store bring some groceries home!the bottom cushion is pretty thin so you're going to want to have something Thicker for your dog to lay on.

It is very light, maybe a pound. It folds up pretty small. The bottom is plastic though and the pooch may enjoy a blanket instead of the plastic. Mine didn't like the plastic.

I have a Subaru Forester and an old Norwegian Elkhound. This ramp works for us just fine! Tell you what, though: the angle is the thing. Find the specs for this ramp - the length, specifically. Then use a a stiff tape measure or something of equal length at the rear of your Outback to the ground to approximate the angle. That way, you can be the judge of whether your dog can handle it. Additionally, there is a world of dog ramps out there, widths & lengths. Maybe your dog needs a longer one (and therefore a less steep angle.) You'll have to figure that out. Good wishes.

It i s quite compact.I set it up myself.It came as one piece.All I had to do was unfold it and make sure it was leveled properly.When folded all you have to do is just fold it gently to not hurt yourself,and just strap the velco together to keep the ramp together.

It folds up the same as w/o second seat! I've fit it in my parents regular trunk fine (Saturn) & a Toyota corolla. I'd say it's about 11 inch height. 2 ft width and length??

Yes, it can fold in half. There is about 3 feet of hard plastic on the back of the back that cannot be bent. So when bent in half is about 3 feet in height. Can easily fit in a rental car if folded.

It is fairly easy to fold BUT, please keep in mind that it weighs 26 lbs (the average rollator weighs 15-16). I can fold it no problem, but, getting it up into the back seat of my SUV or up my front steps is a challenge because of the weight.

The step-in height is only a few inches.(maybe 6?). I don't know if it folds up with the wheel attached. I've only used it as a bike trailer so far. My dogs love it!

John: The Trailer folds down flat, with the wheels all quick release. About 2'x3' It easily fits in the trunk of a Toyota Corolla. It takes less than 5 minutes each time. I've been using one for about 9 months, with a 50# dog, and it's holding up fine. She can't walk, so this keeps her going. Good luck.

this ramp is light weight, not sure exactly how long it is, but it work well without a steep incline. FYI - I bought this for my large Shepherd to use with a semi truck, the surface is not very good, I had to add another type of surface onto the ramp so she would have traction. On a good note, it does fold up nicely and is compact.

We have a Mountaineer and put ours in the back behind the seats, we leave one backseat down so our dog can move from backseat to the back (where he gets in and out using the ramp) -- not sure how wide the Outback is, but the ramp is 36" long folded, and the width is 17".

Paul, I bought it as a gift so don't have it to measure but they have a Bernese Mountain Dog who weighs 130 lbs and it works great for his use. It is wider than the ramp they had before and they loved it!
