Invented by a group of parents in 2013, Owlet's mission is to help every parent sleep better at night. Their innovative nursery products provide a modern touch to parenting.
Smart Sock - Lets You Know Baby is Safe
The Base Station and Owlet App will send you a notification if the readings leave the preset “safe” zones. This device provides 8 hours of battery life after a 20 minute charge, or a full charge in 90 minutes. The Base Station can wirelessly charge your device as long as you place it on the charging pad.
The smart sock is made of hypoallergenic cotton, which means your baby will not have any adverse reactions to the sock material. The first size is up to 12 pounds, and the second size is 12-30 pounds.
Track Your Baby's Vitals
This monitor not only tracks your baby’s heart rate, but also their oxygen level. This additional reading is beneficial for parents. If your baby rolls over during the night, their oxygen level will drop, alerting you to immediately check up on them.
Using pulse oximetry technology, which is extremely accurate and doesn’t disturb your baby as they sleep.
With the Owlet app, parents can see their baby’s oxygen and heart rate readings in real time. This baby sock monitor guarantees peace of mind knowing that your baby is safe at any time, day or night.
Full Stats and Additional Reading
The Owlet app provides lots of useful sleeping data about your baby. Total hours slept, number of wakings, sleep quality, heart rate and oxygen levels, letting you better understand your baby’s sleep patterns and make changes to improve.
The Sleep History feature is also available, which allows parents to see how long and how well their baby slept. Use this data to create new routines for your baby as they grow up.
Alerts Your For Emergencies
The first baby monitor is designed to track oxygen levels and heart rates. A baby’s sleeping patterns often are one of the best indications of their health and well-being.
The smart sock is designed to be comfortable for your baby, and connects wirelessly to a base station up to 100 feet away. Normally left on a bedside cabinet, it can alert you when it’s an emergency.
Socks Grow With Your Baby
As your baby gets older and starts to crawl, you will need to change their socks more often to prevent them from getting dirty. The box contains each size for a right and left foot.
The first size is up to 12 pounds, the second size is 12 – 30 pounds, and the additional size that comes with the Owlet Smart Sock 3 Plus is 30 – 55 pounds.
Quick Recharge
This device provides 8 hours of battery life after a 20 minute charge, or a full charge in 90 minutes. The Owlet Smart Sock 3 can be worn for up to 16 hours on a full charge, which should cover your baby’s sleep for two nights in a row.
The Base Station can wirelessly charge your device as long as you place it on the charging pad.

Bought this as our 5 month old son has severe dilated cardiomyopathy in preparation of bringing him home after 5 months in hospital. With a child in this condition obviously having some sort of system to ensure his Heart Rate is stable is very important to us and alleviates some of the anxieties surrounding this. The hospital will provide us with one but it’s a bulky hospital grade one and is bound by wires which isn’t handy at all, so this is where the Owlet comes into a league of its own. I can nurse my child around the house (as long as it’s in range of the receiver) and see his Heart Rate in my phone via the app. It’s an excellent piece of kit from this point of view.
Where it falls down is that it can’t be worn out of the house. For example, if Owlet upgrade this so that the technology involves Bluetooth data sent to the phone in real time it would provide even greater peace of mind for things like car trips in the car seat (which is restricting on infants) or in the buggy. If they do this then they have a hands down fantastic product but until then I can only give 4 stars. It’s such a simple oversight and perhaps it’s not a feature because they don’t have the technology to do it. But maybe they do and it is just a strange oversight. Range could also be better or a connection permanently via the wifi network of the house allowing for full house coverage rather than the pesky out of range moments.
