The Best Kids Wellness Trackers

From steps to sleep, kids’ wellness trackers can keep your little ones healthy. Besides the obvious fun factor, why should you consider giving your kids wellness trackers?

Kids ages 1-5 need to be active a minimum of 3 hours each day. And school-aged children need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise every day. Even tiny tots need exercise in the form of tummy time and floor-based play.

Are your little ones active enough? Here are 5 kids’ wellness trackers to keep kids motivated, happy, and healthy:

This device tracks elements of your child’s overall health. Parents can also set up task timers—like making the bed or brushing their teeth. This waterproof wearable comes in patterns we wish they made in adult size. The battery rarely has to be charged, as it has a lifespan of 1 year! Not only does it track heart rate and steps, it tracks sleep so you can make sure they’re getting the rest they need.
