72 Hour Kit/Bug Out Bag recommendations for elderly people?

Hello everyone,

I am searching for a 72 Hour Kit/Bug Out Bag suitable for an elderly person with back problems. They can't wear heavy backpacks.

My initial thought was a hybrid carry-on luggage with wheels/tactical backpack with Molle webbing on the outside. That way there is nothing on their back and they can roll it easily on the ground. Also, the First Aid Kit and water bottle can be easily accessible on the outside attached to the Molle. I thought the dual suitcase/backpack option was best in case someone else can carry the bag if the elderly person cannot. I found this one on Amazon that fits the bill, but the capacity seems quite small: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F629W5RG

Additionally, this person has a pet cat and needs to put a cat carrier on top. I found a lightweight cat carrier that attaches to carry-on luggage handles that are double-barred, so I will be purchasing that.

I read online some other preppers recommended handcarts, but that's too bulky and not realistic to store (way too big, ideally it should fit under a bed) and most likely this person would go to a hotel first or a sports stadium in their city in an actual emergency and not travel on foot long distance.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do for a 72 Hour Kit bag? Any specifications I should look for?
