Does Versa count my steps for hourly goals while I'm pushing a wheelchair or grocery cart?

I put my Versa in my pocket when I wheeled my dad to the dining room as I had always done with my Charge 2.  My Versa seemed to  give me credit for the steps in my step count and credited my 250 steps for the two hours on my Versa but failed to show the steps in my activity log or credit them to the hours on my phone or desktop computer. When I manually added the 1600 step round trip on my desktop activity log, that only changed my Versa step count by about 100 steps, but it did give me the credit for the two hours activity on my computer and phone. The main question is will the Versa give me an accurate step count if I keep it on my wrist while pushing the wheelchair or grocery cart?

Hi there @arnettamaem awesome to see you are visiting the Fitbit Community again! I was reading yur post and I found interesting that your Versa count your hourly goal but did not credited the steps to your overall count. 

Note that your steps should be there as the hourly goal and the overall step count are linked by the same steps count.

Now to answer your question, If you're doing something like pushing a stroller or a wheelchair, your Versa will count your steps but the total may be slightly lower than usual, since the movement pattern is being limited by not moving your hands like would you do in a regular walk.

Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
