Tracking walking/running with a stroller

I've started Couch to 5 K to help me get in the habit of exercising. I will be running while pushing a jogging stroller with my 2 year old in it. Does that effect how many calories I burn?
When tracking exercise, there is an option for "Pushing or pulling stroller with child" but not an option to choose running or walking .

    It will, but not enough to worry about tracking. If you want to get a better estimate, pick up a HRM - with Christmas coming up, I've seen a lot of sales on them lately so now's a good time.
