How to explain to Garmin that I run pushing a stroller with my daughter in it? I ask for correct running and fatigue metrics

I occasionally run with my daughter in a stroller, but this super evolved 955 with all analyzes its detailed metrics, will think I'm tired or on a bad day if my normal run and compare them with one in which I push a stroller with 20kg inside.

Is there no specific activity? I searched but found nothing.

There are some applications like https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/0e41edaf-8a80-4e42-bee0-f92555b75812#0 that have a "Run with Stroller" activity. I suspect it will only change the calorie calculation but not sure. Has anyone tried it? it is paid, I also gladly pay it if it works well, that's why I ask.

If I would be you, I would create activity from Trail Run and call it Stroller Run and disable the VO2max estimations on that one.

You can add 20kg on garmin connect under user profile but that will mess up ur vo2max

that's what I did with my 935. Now with the 955 I wanted to see if something had improved for the stroller, but I don't think so.

using trail run is what I did with my 935. Now with the 955 I wanted to see if something had improved for the stroller, but I don't think so. Adding 20Kg is not a solution I want to consider, I think it would be even less reliable.

Well, there's legit sports that could have support in Forerunners or in Garmin, but we don't have it. So I don't think there's much priority/requests for some Stroller Run, and how about Cargo Bike? Or if you have the kid with you in a Bike? And oh, or course depending do you have eBike or not.

I don't know what you are expecting, but I think your expectations are not very realistic.

I think your best option is to make a new sport profile from "Other". You can allow it to use GPS to track pace and distance and ofc heart rate. That way it wont mess up your running statistics.
