Hi there, I want to visit my grandchildren abroad, but I have arthritis, my body is weak, and I get sore when I sit for long hours. I am very worried about taking a plane and not being able to carry my luggage. Are there any senior friendly luggage that are lightweight but sturdy and easy to roll or carry?
