Fitness trackers have become increasingly popular over the last few years, so it’s not a surprise to see a fitness tracker specialised towards tracking the activity levels of children. The KidFit Fitness Tracking Wristband is just that, offering kid-specific fitness tracking through a small, durable wristband.
The KidFit connects to iPhone or Android phone over Bluetooth, and works with devices running iOS 7 (or later) and Android 4.3 (or later) – which includes most phones made in the last couple of years. You just install the free KifFit app, wirelessly sync the wristband, and away you go.
You can set goals and tasks for your child, encouraging them to stay active during the day and to sleep well at night. There’s an easy-to-understand scoring system, which gives marks out of 100 to judge how well they’re doing at accomplishing these goals. You’ll also see direct information on how many steps they’ve taken, miles they’ve walked, and hours they’ve slept. Four LED indicators on the wristband itself show you when the wristband is tracking sleep or activity, syncing or charging.
Anything produced for kids needs to be robust, and happily the KidFit is just that. The durable snap-on design is rated X3 for water and dust resistance, ensuring that it can withstand rain showers or dunks in the sink. The band is one-size-fits-all, so all you need to do is pick a colour that your child will enjoy. There are four available:
- KidFit Children’s Wireless Fitness Tracking Wristband – Black
- KidFit Children’s Wireless Fitness Tracking Wristband – Blue
- KidFit Children’s Wireless Fitness Tracking Wristband – Pink
- KidFit Children’s Wireless Fitness Tracking Wristband – Yellow
