Fitbit
This unobtrusive, sleek, easy-to-use, and--let's just say it--cute little device tracks your every move with the same 3D technology that powers a Wii. It counts steps and motion, and tracks calories in and out each day to help you reach your fitness goals. Unlike similar (often bulkier) devices, you can wear Fitbit on a bra strap or in your pocket, and at night, on a wrist band to track your sleep patterns. Best of all, it uploads data to a personal tracking website wirelessly each time you pass by its base station, which is a huge time saver.

Best of all, you can create more than one training page for different members of the family.

So it attaches to the stroller?
Quoting Vertical15:
Strollometer New moms looking to get back into non-elastic pants ASAP will love being reminded that taking care of an infant burns plenty of calories. This clip-on device follows every revolution of your stroller tires to track the miles you put in making diaper runs, going to well-baby visits, and taking baby to meet the neighbors. The display shows speed and distance, daily mileage, and temperature--so you know when it's time to get out the baby blanket.
