Blaze not registering steps

[Maijax]

Hi. I go out walking with my little one in her pushchair and the fitbit Blaze does not register my steps when my hand is on the pram. I have started to use the exercise setting for walk but it still does not accurately record the steps or distance. Maybe you should design a fitbit for Mums and Dads when walking with a pram

Great suggestion @Maijax, right now most folks are concerned with over counting steps and flights when driving so the sensor damping for an idle wrist is a trade off.  Perhaps you can suggest a "turn off drive damping" feature in the feature suggestions section?  This would help not just moms and dads but supermarket shoppers as well. For now, you might try each of you pushing with a single hand and having your trackers on the resultant free swinging arm if you are together (what we do when grocery shopping).  I wouldn't recommend one handed stroller pushing if you are alone - precious cargo.  Perhaps you can wear on your ankle, or slip in a pocket for those rare times?

Keep moving, that's what's important. What a great Mom.

It's great to welcome you @Maijax and @wmchapman thanks for stopping by.

I agree with our friend @wmchapman here, you can place your tracker inside a pocket and start walking, in this way you will get more accurate information.

Keep the stepping up!
