stroller steps not counted

[Berylbirdie]

It is annoying that apparently pushing a stroller is too smooth for steps to register.  I’m not about to attach my Fitbit to my foot!

Hi @Berylbirdie  you can always slip your Fitbit into your pocket or manually enter the steps as a walk. These are wrist based devices, so your arms need to move. When I have to push a shopping cart, I often do it with one hand, leaving my other hand free to swing as I walk.

I didn’t know we can manually enter steps as a walk! I definitely want to learn how!
I’m confused why placing the Fitbit in a pocket would be any different than keeping my hand on a stroller. Does my pocket swing ...

I'm thinking that our legs move, so it can register the steps while in the pocket. Some people posted on the forums that they can't wear anything on their wrists at work, so they would keep their Fitbit in a pocket to register the steps.
