Kids Fitbit?

Is there such a thing? My 6 year old son loves his Dad's Fitbit, but there is no chance he's getting on of those. Are there any cheaper/kids versions that are actually any good?

Thanks

There is the Fitbit ace for kids. I've been considering it for my sons birthday.

Our 7yr old has a Garmin Vívofit Jr. He's had it since Jan and he's worn it everyday since. I was sceptical about getting but he brought it with his own birthday money, it's been a big hit!

I looked into this recently to try and motivate my slightly overweight DS. According to a review I read the app and linking up the kids device is a nightmare and the Fitbit itself is basically an over-priced old model re-marketed for kids.

In the end I bought my DS a £22 Xiaomi band off Amazon and it does all the same things plus heart rate as well with a fairly decent app for much less £.

Another vote for Garmin. After the kids got the junior versions, we bought the adult ones to replace our fitbits. Much prefer our Garmin - more comfortable for a start.
