Hi,
My wife can walk short distances and can go up and down steps when needed, but uses a wheelchair for any longer distances. Right now, she has a cheap standard wheelchair.
We are headed to Italy in a week, where we will visit Rome, Florence, and Venice.
We want to get her a better quality wheelchair before our trip.
I was looking at the Karman Ergo line, but then found some information on the Roughrider Whirlwind, which looks good for rough terrain.
This one:

For the Karman's, maybe something like this:

Any thoughts on the best chair to handle the cobblestone streets we will encounter?
