Does Fitbit Luxe count steps if I'm walking with a stroller or grocery cart?

[Ssummers2]

Hi all,

Just purchased this and am waiting for it to arrive but I just reread all of the features and it doesn't have a built in GPS like the charge 4 I guess, and it has to connect to the phone GPS. My question is will this calculate steps if I'm walking with a stroller or grocery cart? That's kind of the whole reason I stopped using my Alta HR, which I adored.

Thanks!

Hi there, @Ssummers2. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post, I understand where your concern is coming from. I'm glad to hear you adored your Alta HR. 

Please note that if you're doing something like pushing a stroller or shopping cart, your wrist-based device will count your steps but the total may be slightly lower than usual. For more information, see How accurate are Fitbit devices? 

As for the GPS, the answer is yes, the GPS type your Luxe has is Connected GPS. For more information, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?
