Garmin vívofit jr.
Amanda Banta: The vívofit jr. is a waterproof fitness tracker that can also be used for chore management, sleep tracking, and alerts like brushing teeth or feeding pets. Kids will love connecting with friends nearby to compete in challenges and watch their step counts rise. The comfortable bands come in kid-favorite character designs with a few games and adventures. The battery is designed to last one year before needing replacement, but that will vary based on actual usage. You can view your kid's activity and sleep from the parent-controlled app, too.

Amanda Banta: This Fitbit for kids can track their active minutes, steps and sleep and offers group challenges through the FitBit app. The Ace also features a reminder to move, helping kids to stay active all day long, and kids will earn badges and celebrations as they reach activity milestones.
Parents can access their kids' activity by setting up a family account and linking the children's devices on the app. The adjustable and swimproof wristbands are available in a few colors, and the rechargeable battery lasts around 5 days.
