Wrist-worn trackers cannot actually tell what your legs and hips are doing; they can only infer steps from the usual swinging of the arms as in normal walking. When the wrist is held steady, as pushing a pram, steps often cannot be detected.
But you are still getting calories burned based on heart rate.
If step count is more important to you, you can probably get a better step count by putting tracker in a pocket, but then lose heart rate data during that time.
