Can you recommend a Rolland for outside walking only for my husband who gets intolerable backach after five or ten minutes of walking outside. He is able to manage indoors without difficulty: It seems that he releaves his backache by putting his upper body weight on the rollator. He tried one for six weeks and found it relieved his backache entirely. However he had pain in his hands a forarms and we thought the walked needed bigger wheels and better suspension . Also he found getting the walker on and off sidewalks difficult . Again would a bugger wheel help with this issue? The seat is less important but a light weight over all would be helpful . We were told that Nexus is the best brand name? If you can recommend d a specific rollator for the issue of better shock absorption through the wheels to handles and ease of getting on and off sidewalks that would be very helpful. Thank you
