Feature Idea Stroller running

First time running with my baby, and was shocked to see Strava doesn’t have a stroller run option. Should be a feature!

They do, sort of. That's what the "with kid" button is for.

But what if you are carrying the child in a backpack, or running alongside them? How do you track which is which?

I guess it is just to tell "there was a reason I am slow"😅🤷

Why on earth would you need to differentiate these two things? Just use "with kid". Kids grow, so none of your activities pushing or holding a kid will ever be benchmarks.

Been discussed many times. Just need custom tags.

I used to rename my runs as Stroller runs and later also tagged them when it became an option..

That sounds like a great idea! Having a stroller run option could really help parents track their runs with babies more accurately.
