All Ideas Welcome

Hi to you all. I wondered if anyone had any ideas about how I would get my 3 mutts into the back of my wagon. I recently changed to a Vauxhall Frontara but the distance from the lip of the boot to the ground is approx over 3 feet. If I try to get them on the back seat I have to lift their bums and back legs in. They obviously can't all fit on the back seat so I'm wondering if I put the seats down flat how the heck do I get them in?

Teach them to put their paws up on the back and then lift their bums in?

I do this with Simon a lot. I do have a ramp, but he can usually manage the front half, so it's usually easier just to lift his back end in.

I bought an expensive so-called lightweight, microscopic ramp for the back of our pick-up and Flame and Yogi hated it, and I found it cumbersome and bulky, so I just trained them to put their paws up and then I lift them. Problem solved.
