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.
Misha –
We brought the camera/sock bundle, and after few hiccups with wifi set up etc we were good to go. Product quality is really good. The camera images are good if you have good wifi. The sock though – I like it (particularly because my baby started rolling onto his belly to sleep at 3 months olds), so it is peace of mind, but if baby is fussing a lot (kicking and moving around) when your trying to get them to sleep, the thing sets off this obnoxious tone on the base station, apparently due to placement issue. You can pause temporarily in the app, but when your trying to calm a fussy baby it’s the last thing you want to deal with, especially in the middle of the night cause this thing is loud! I usually just turn off the base station until baby is settled. Once they are calm/asleep I turn it back on and all is ok – no placement adjustment needed.
Also don’t take baby too far from base station (ie. downstairs if base station is upstairs) once sock is on. It does not like that and will disconnect.
Overall it’s a good product, and would still recommend despite these little annoyance’s.
