Make sure the coin box is removed and any other loose items inside. See if you can find a big piece of cardboard and that will help you "slide" it into your SUV. I would but this thing on it's side so you don't have to remove the gun.
On moving with your son, I would say you be find loading, but when you get to your house, you'll probably need a two wheeler or extra muscle. I can normally load one by myself (and I'm probably the size of your 15 year old) but when it comes to stairs, I need two people.
Congrats on the buy! Cool game!
