The real changes come in the way parents get to manage their children's' Fitbits. The built-in screen gives kids 8 and up a running tally of their step counts, not to mention the occasional reminder to get off the couch and maybe do something outside instead.

The experience of using the $100 Fitbit Ace remains largely unchanged, though, which means you strap one on your child and let them run off into the sunset. If it looks familiar, well, it should: Fitbit says it recycled the design language last seen in its Alta HR, and gave it a more durable, plasticky body to better suit the swaths of youngsters the company is going after. While Mom and Dad might choose to strap on a Versa, Fitbit now has a fitness tracker - the Fitbit Ace - meant exclusively for wee ones. When Fitbit said it was working on a "family" of devices for this year, it really wasn't kidding.
