Guessing calories burnt?

How do you guess how much calories you've burned off while exercising? I've found the exercises listed quite limited - for example, I frequently take my kids for a walk in double pram which would weigh 25kg+ with both kids and all the stuff I carry too...surely that's way more intense than just walking alone cos it's hard work even just pushing them around town in it...

    A HRM would help.

    I would also recommend getting a heart rate monitor - that would be the most accurate way to track :-)

    Thanks for the suggestions - and duh, I use google for everything else, can't believe I didn't think of that!
