First world problems - Fitbit and pushchair

[TORino]

have any of you ladies nailed using your step tracking device whilst pushing your pushchair?

It is most disconcerting to only have achieved 1500 for a 3km walk!

Any tips?

Put it round one of your bra straps maybe, or ankle?

Not sure how they work so....

I've tried everything and when my walk finished and I synced, I'd suddenly loose a chunk of steps.

For the past year I've actually been pushing the pushchair one handed and this works pretty well for me.

Hopefully someone else will be able to help us both out!

There’s a step counter on my fitness pal too, I use that at work when I can’t wear stuff below the elbow

Thanks! I’ll try the one handed thing. I’d use the bra strap but I like seeing what my heart rate is doing. But if all else fails I want my steps logged

Mine works fine (fit bit charge 2) Just when I sync it thinks I’ve been cycling (guessing it because I’m holding onto handles) but still counts steps! Have you placed it a bit further (1inch or2) up your arm so it’s getting the movement maybe?

I ysed to choose between my ankle and my pocket before i lost my charger.

Most of my walking is with the pram, and this is what put me off of a Fitbit..

I just use the free app on my phone.

Oh no wonder my step count is low. I completely forgot that it can't track anything when I'm.pushing the pram!

Ankle might be a better idea
