Steps not counting while jogging with kids buggy

I have Thule buggy for running in the forest with my child. Noticed that quite some steps are not in the result activity overview. Does anybody else face this problem?

    The watch depends on arm movement in order to log steps. So if you're holding something like a buggy, the built-in accelerometer will not detect steps. At the very least it will be inaccurate. I know some people will place it in a hip pocket or even strap it to their ankle to get better results.

    Running with a buggy/stroller/bike trailer is stabilizing the wrist to much.

    To get more steps, try this:

    If possible, push only with the other hand. If not, loosen your grip at least on the watch hand. I run a lot with the bike trailer from qeerido and it is easy possible to push it only with one hand. Its a 3 wheel configuration with a fixed front wheel.
