I've noticed my Fitbit doesn't count my steps when I'm pushing the pram. I'm missing out on a few thousand steps each time I go out. Is there any app I can use on my phone to sync steps to Fitbit when my Fitbit doesn't count them? I'm using Huawei P20 Pro

The same thing can happen pushing a shopping cart or holding hand rail on treadmill, because the wrist is held still rather than swinging as usual when walking.

You can probably get a better step count if you put tracker in pocket or pin to clothing, though you will lose heart rate data for that time, depending on the tracker.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
