Does this load into an SUV or van easily?

We break it down to fold down and into our van easily. Although we have taken only the wheels and handle off and put in on top of our folded flat van seat. It folds down and comes apart very easily, just a minute or two.

Depends on the person. Due to size, even collapsed it can take some muscling to get into my Acura's trunk. But that is laying it flat. In the van, it is really easy. 40lbs? Or lighter? The page should list the weight. Lock the wheels before lifting. You can get more control that way.

Not sure as it's been awhile since I purchased it. I can say it will not fit in a medium size SUV , even if you have the seats down , wether in the box or out of the box . Box is too wide and peeks of the roof to wide . I had it delivered and it was sent via tractor trailer which could not navigate residential streets. I don't know what the Tykes company was thinking when they shipped it. So if you don't have a open pick up truck don't attempt to get it home.

I don't think it's collapsible. It should easily fit in a van though. I drive a Honda CR-V and it fit well in the trunk. I had to take the handle off to fit it in, but that comes on and off easily. I hope this helps!

It can be installed quickly, just run the seatbelt through the pathway, but it is very heavy and awkward to move in and out. So, depending on how often you will be doing it, you may want an alternate, if you can afford it.

It's pretty big and heavy. It's over 12' long. Don't know if it will fit in your van. Good luck.

It is not terribly heavy. Maybe 20 pounds. I have had no problems getting it into and out of vehicles.

It's not light, but as a small female I have carried it up and down stairs myself, and feel like with some effort I could manage to get it up in an rv cab. It's more an issue of it being long and wanting to unfold, so with two people I don't think you'll have any problem.

It cannot be used for loading. The manufacturer does not recommend any significant weight on the tailgate. It can be easily removed.

I have an SUV and have no problems at all. It folds up without touching the vehicle.

not sureit would not fit in a SUV so we had it delivered. Its a good size. you would need a pickup truck to carry this size box

Easily, unless it is a compact car. I would have no problem, but mine is a full sized vehicle.

I've used it both in a Jeep SUV and a small Honda and a mid size Lexus. No problems in any of them.

Actually, I have a Dodge Ram Pickup. And it's not a problem for me to simply place the ramp in the bed of the truck. I could probably store it in the back seat as well - never tried. As for the SUV, I suppose it depends on the size of the vehicle and what ever else you might have inside. It's relatively light weight and has a handle. I would be careful with the ends of the ramp, they could possible scratch or damage the interior. As an added note. It will not fit in my wife's small SUV without crossing over the rear seat/back. But she can lay down the middle seat and it works nicely.

An SUV should be able to handle this carrier plus it's load. One thing to think about; a pickup is higher off the ground than an SUV. This means there is less clearance between the carrier and the ground, especially when the carrier is in the "down" position and loaded. The carrier WILL hit the ground when the SUV transitions from the road up into a driveway or parking lot.

Most definitely. That's exactly what we purchased it for since our Mother's other walker is difficult for her to load into her car. This one transports easily and the fold up mechanism is easier to operate than some others.
