Step tracker or fitness watch which works while pram pushing?

[Bubblesbubblesmybubbles]

Is there one? My fitbit isnt counting my steps while I'm pushing the pram and its a bit upsetting to realise as its one of my personal daily goals

The Apple watches definitely work for this (I bought the iWatch 5) and I think most with inbuilt gps would work too. When I looked into it Apple & Garmin were most highly recommended across the board.

Can you put it on your ankle or in your pocket? Does that make a difference?

Pretty sure my Garmin works whilst I’m pushing a pushchair.

Ive been looking at the garmin and apple watches so good to know they do the trick!

How do you find the garmin @rowboatsindisguise?

@Bubblesbubblesmybubbles I love it! I have a vivoactive 3. It does everything I need it to do, and more.

Although Garmin suffered a ransomware attack and their apps have been down since Friday so I am a bit cheesed off with them currently!

Ah thata a pain, hopefully its sorted soon!

Will have a look at that one, thank you

I bought a fitbit a year ago and that counts steps while I push the pram.

My Fitbit worked while pram pushing too, I had the charge model. I have an Apple Watch at the moment, and that also counts regardless of what I’m carrying or pushing.

I just clipped the fitbit to my belt loop if I was out pushing my pram.

My Apple Watch is good for pram walks if I set up the walk as an exercise. Otherwise it massively downplays the steps. An example from this week, I walked a 7.5km route, but it recorded 4km.

My fitbit charge 2 is counting steps but not all of them, i double checked. I tend to wear leggings when walking so have no belt hoop to clip it to annoyingly,

I used to put it in my pocket as this annoyed me. Or, if no pockets, I'd fasten it round my knickers!

You can get a Fitbit that detaches from the wristband and comes with a clip to wear on your waist and or in the centre of your bra Counters that are worn on the torso tend to be most accurate.

Fitbit Inspire is the one I have, with the detachable feature and clip.

My FItbit can fit in to a clip holder rather than a strap and I then attach it to my bra strap which works well. On my wrist it doesn't pick up steps pushing a wheelchair or a supermarket trolley!

Ah thats great, a few options thank you
