When will walking with a stroller will be an option for activity? And rollerblading...

I'm constantly walking with a stroller and my watch always detects it as very slow biking. When I'm rollerblading I have to add it as ice skating :/

It annoys me that when walking with a pushchair the steps don’t get recorded correctly so it doesn’t count towards the daily step goal!

Or indeed a wheelchair - when my heartrate is often quite high and my husband is a big chap! On a lawnmower, wheelbarrow or supermarket trolley.

I agree. The health mate app has a program for pregnancy but no follow up afterwards. It is evident that after giving birth, we will walking the baby in the stroller. Also, I would think it is pretty easy for health mate to estimate the number of steps taken based on the phone tracking: it can create a fancy map of the activity and the miles walked, the app could convert that into approximate number of steps based on height of the individual and then feed that back to the watch. Just a thought for the Withings team...

I agree. I am a new mum and have found the watch pretty useless for counting steps on my walks with my pram. Also it's discriminatory against people with wheelchairs
