X-Doria KidFit - Wireless Activity & Sleep Tracker Review

X-Doria’s KidFit, a wearable wireless activity and sleep tracker created specifically for children ages 5-13, is now shipping. KidFit creates customized daily activity targets for kids and presents them in an easy to understand goal of 100 points. The KidFit app gives timely feedback on progress via brightly colored “Results Cards” and encourages kids to reach their daily targets. Built-in goals create ongoing challenges and engagement toward the child’s health goals.

An easy and intuitive interface, Bluetooth 4.0 technology and a straightforward one-button design, makes setup easy. User’s simply download the KidFit app, press one button on the KidFit wristband and answer a few simple questions. KidFit will then automatically set daily activity and sleep goals for a quick start. Parents looking to further refine their child’s KidFit goals can customize active time and sleep goals, amongst other settings at any time. KidFit is housed in a colorful, “slap-band” style wristband that provides a continually adjustable, secure fit. With an IPX3 water-resistant rating and rechargeable battery capable of up to seven days of monitoring, KidFit is a true 24/7 activity monitor.

Rather than just counting steps or calories, KidFit motivates a behavior change in children by making activities into a game, and encouraging any form of activity to meet daily goals. Built-in challenges centered around key measures of health, encourage continued engagement for both the short and long term. Goals focus on key metrics such as hitting your daily target score, getting enough sleep and distance traveled, so children are rewarded when goals are met. Parents can also create custom goals tied to real world rewards for extra motivation.

KidFit can be synced to a parent’s or child’s iPod, iPad, iPhone or similar Android device. Parents are encouraged to spend a few minutes at the end of each day syncing data and discussing results with their child. Synced summaries show achieved goals and a total score that includes three components: total KidFit score, sleep time, and progress toward goals. Users can view progress at a glance in an easy to understand summary or progress over time in animated graphs.

Our Thoughts

When my husband and I got our FitBits, the kids wanted one for them too. I have been looking to find something that would work for them and not cost us too much seeing we have four kids and they're all wanting one. 

The KidFit is a fantastic little tracker for the kids. It's got a snap bracelet that the little tracker fits into which means that it will tighten up on the child's wrist just enough so that it won't be lost. The tracker itself has an LED indicator for when the button is activated for syncing to a smart phone. The best part of the tracker is it is able to be charged using a USB port! This makes it easy to charge on the go or over night. 

The KidFit has an App that is compatible with Android and iOS devices. It's easy to download and set up. So far it has worked well and you are able to have multiple trackers on the App to track multiple kids. This is definitely a plus for someone like me who has a few kiddos. 

Since we started using the KidFit our kids come running to us right after dinner asking us to sync their bands so they can see who has the most steps. It's become a competition! If you're looking for a tracker, checkout the KidFit. I really think it's worth the $49.99!
