Customer Reviews of Strollometer Wireless Stroller Speedometer/Odometer (Blue/Black)
Customer Review: Best customer service EVER.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Chicco Cortina travel system stroller and I recently purchased the Strollometer for use on this stroller as well as a jogging stroller we have not yet purchased. When I got the Strollometer, I installed the battery in the console but didn't have time to callibrate it. A few days later, the low battery sign on the console was flashing! I went out and bought 2 extra batteries and tried to calibrate the sensor. The black dot would blink, but never turned solid even though the meter read that I had gone 0.03 of a mile (up and down my driveway).
When I took it for a walk the next day, I was disappointed to find that the console wasn't picking up any signal from the sensor. I got down on the floor and manually moved the sensor over the magnet, but the green light just wouldn't go on. That's when I decided to email the Strollometer people to ask what I needed to do. Within a few hours, I had a return call from the co-inventor, Dan, as well as an email telling me exactly what I needed to try next. The next day, I took it for a walk again, and I still couldn't get a signal. I got another call from Strollometer, this time from the other inventor, Adi. She stayed on the phone with me for 15 minutes while I got the sensor off my stroller and tested it with the extra magnet. She walked me through all the potential problems that might be causing the lack of signal.
Even though I haven't used it yet, I am impressed with the customer service. Adi offered to send me extra foam wedges (the Cortina has a weird, oval shaped bar that doesn't fit the Strollometer securely), an extra battery (because I had to buy another one), and a new sensor (we figured out that mine might have been slightly loose where the washers connect to the part that attaches to your stroller leg). She even promised to go to Babies R Us to find my specific stroller to see what would be the best place for the magnet and sensor, take digital photos, and email me directions.
I know the Strollometer will be great once it's working, but I have to give it 5 stars for the customer service alone.

 Adi Weber, co-inventor of the Strollometer, with her kids. |
Co-invented by Adi and Don Weber, the Strollometer is the product of parents who wanted to get more out of their strolls.
Our inspiration for the Strollometer came about one month after I gave birth to our third child, Deena. I would often take my daughter on strolls in an attempt to squeeze in a good workout while she napped. Unfortunately, I never knew how far I went, how fast I strolled, or whether my "workout" would ever measure up to the workouts I was familiar with at my gym. Nothing designed for bikers or walkers gave me the information, accuracy or ease I wanted.How it WorksThe idea for the Strollometer was born. And by designing it from the ground up, we made sure it could easily strap-on to any stroller--whether it's traditional, all-terrain or jogging.
Happy strolling! -- Adi
The Strollometer features easy-to-read display screens that help you keep tabs on your stroll:
 Current Speed: Like a treadmill, you always know how fast or how slow you're strolling. Feeling good? Why not pick up the pace? |  Maximum Speed: You powerstroll through the neighborhood. A nice flat stretch is up ahead...you pick up the pace...But make sure you jog or run only with a jogging stroller. |  Average Speed: You stroll for 50 minutes at an average speed of 4 mph. You feel great. Tomorrow try strolling a touch faster. |  Trip Distance: No more retracing your route with your car to see how far you've gone. You stroll for two and a half miles. Why not make it an even three? |
| | |||
| Trip Time: Time flies when you're on a stroll. Why not add an extra 15 minutes and feel even better. |  Daily Mileage: You run errands. You spend the afternoon at the mall. You run more errands. Was it a day without exercise? Hardly. Today's tally: 2.6 miles and counting. |  Ambient Temperature: You walk into a restaurant and suddenly it hits you: this place is cold. You glance at your Strollometer. Yup, time to pull out the blankie. |  Clock Time: Baby yoga at 10. Lunch date at noon. Pediatrician at 3. You've got the current time--whether your Strollometer is on or off. |
