Pet Gear Travel-Lite Tri-Fold Pet Ramp for cats and dogs up to 200-pounds, Pet Ramp, Chocolate/Black

Seniors, think twice!
I just returned this product, but not because of any defect or quality issue. I am a mid-50's woman that found it to be much too unwieldly to fold and unfold a 3 section ramp. Even though it is fairly lightweight, you do have to hold it away from your body to fold and unfold. That put too much strain on my neck and back. I have since ordered the "Solvit" bifold ramp which is much easier for me to handle, stow away, etc. It is a few inches shorter than the tri-fold, but for my situation (much less strain on my back and neck) it was the better solution.

My 12 year old Lab was afraid to jump in and out of my SUV after hurting her leg doing just that. After much shopping around, this is a perfect solution at a great price.

Folds up compactly to take with you. Very pleased with this product.

If we didn't do this prep training, I believe our lab would not have cooperated in using the ramp. Our lab was getting "fixed" so I didn't want her jumping out of our SUV after her operation. My S.O., myself and lots of our puppy's favorite treats got her comfortable using the ramp. This process took about 2 evenings at about 15 minutes each. I still did a couple of practice sessions in the living room to keep her refreshed and reinforce the training before her operation.

I like the Tri-fold so it doesn't take up as much space and that it is not heavy. There are only 2 things I didn't like. First, the latch/hook is a cheap piece of plastic which will break if I am not extra careful - I will fabricate a metal latch which will not be a big deal for me. Second, I feel this thing should have a decent handle to...
