Disclaimer: I have no idea about this device.
Ran across the website, never knew such a thing existed before.
Thought I'd post since so many people ask about calories burned with a stroller.
It appears this thing will tell you average speed and time, so maybe you could list it as walking for that long at that speed to calculate calories.

    hmm neat idea i just wonder about its accuracy because when pushing it will be at higher speed i think than what your actually walking yourself..meaning the stroller is actually going faster than you because of force..hmm i hope that makes sense..lol but its a new device im sure

    I just wear my HRM. I wouldn't think a speedomoter would calculate for hills and the weight in the stroller. It would probably cost the same amount.
