Fitness trackers inspire a healthier lifestyle and help children look after themselves in ways that will benefit them into their teenage years and adulthood.

FAQs About Kids Fitness Trackers

A kids’ fitness tracker serves a similar purpose to general fitness trackers for adults, with a design and functionality aimed at children.

There are common fitness tracking features, including heart rate monitoring, and calorie and step tracking. Kids’ fitness trackers often include additional kid-friendly features that help gamify and reward children for healthy habits.

With a fitness tracker such as the Garmin Vivofit Jr 3, parents can set the tracker and its accompanying app to provide these health metrics to them. That way, parents can play an active role in their children’s overall health journey.

Reward tiers can be set for completing different activities, chores and health tasks, providing children with tangible incentives to keep looking after themselves.

As a parent, chances are you want a fitness tracker that can help inspire your children to stay active and healthy. You also want it to be user-friendly and give you room to modify its functionality as needed.

Along with parental controls and parameters you can set, you should also ask your kids what kind of features they’d like from a fitness tracker. What types of activities and physical workouts do they gravitate towards? And would they like a fitness tracker that makes it easy for them to compete with friends and other kids in the neighbourhood?

Take these factors into consideration when deciding. Keep in mind that most fitness trackers do require the use of a smartphone - so make sure it’s compatible with your or your children’s phones.

Yes, most fitness trackers require smartphones, including those designed for kids. In general, this is mostly so information from the fitness tracker can be synced to the smartphone for reference. The majority of fitness trackers will still work when disconnected from a smartphone for a prolonged period.

A smartphone is typically required during the initial set-up of a fitness tracker, and then it should be synced with the tracker once or twice a day to ensure you have historical fitness data on hand. Fitness trackers like the aforementioned Vivofit Jr 3 only keep 14 days of activity data stored on the tracker at any one time.

Yes, they can, just make sure you confirm that the fitness tracker you’re considering for your children has an applicable water rating. The range of Vivofit Jr 3’s we sell at Johnny Appleseed GPS all come with a water rating of 5 ATM.

ATM refers to atmospheric pressure, and a 5 ATM rating means the fitness tracker can withstand pressure that is equivalent to a water depth of around 50 metres.

In practice, this makes the Vivofit Jr 3 a good option for surface-level swimming, swimming in a pool, for use in rain and snow, and will be proofed against splashes and running water from a showerhead.

So, if your kids love going for a swim, you can rest assured that the Vivofit Jr 3 will be well-suited to their needs.
