Exemplary embodiments are directed to pet ramp/step devices and associated methods, including a frame supporting at least one platform member. The at least one platform member includes a riser and a runner which are movable between a ramp mode configuration and a step mode configuration. The frame further includes a telescoping handle which is extendable relative to the frame based on a height of the supporting structure against which the telescoping handle is positioned. The frame includes a frame hinge for folding the frame into a folded position and a frame locking mechanism for locking the frame in the folded position. The riser fixedly supports the runner against a pair of riser supports of the frame when positioned in the step mode. The runner is further supported by the pair of riser supports when positioned in the ramp mode.

A child-resistant plug includes a plug body, at least one prong, and at least one tab extending from the plug body. In one embodiment, a tab is positioned adjacent each of the upper and lower portions of the plug body and each tab is attached to the plug body by a hinging member. The hinging member allows the tabs to rotate between a folded and an unfolded position. When a tab is in its unfolded position, the tab is sized and positioned such that an aperture in the tab aligns with a pre-existing aperture in an electrical outlet cover plate. A fastening member may be used to attach the tab to the cover plate, preventing a child from unplugging a device or accessing the electrical socket. When the tab is attached to the cover plate, and a person pulls the plug or cord with a pre-determined amount of force, the hinging member will break, and the plug will release from the electrical socket.

A folding pet ramp and step apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a frame supporting an upper platform member and a lower platform member. The lower platform member has a lower riser and a lower runner. The upper platform member has an upper riser and an upper runner which are movable between a ramp mode and a step mode. The upper riser fixedly supports the upper runner against the frame when in the step mode, and is moveable from the fixedly supported position to permit the upper runner to move to the ramp mode.
