From The Manufacturer

As parents, we understand the stress and worry that comes with having an infant. That’s why we invented the Owlet Smart Sock to watch over your baby while they sleep. The Owlet Smart Sock 2 baby monitor uses clinically-proven technology to track your infant’s heart rate and oxygen levels. The Smart Sock sends this information to a base station which is designed to notify you with lights and sounds if something appears to be wrong. Using Owlet’s app, you can view real-time wellness data and receive direct notifications on your phone.

Expert Reviews


What experts liked

In addition to real-time tracking of your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels it will also alert you if your baby stops breathing. The alert will go to your cell phone as well as a loud beeping on a docking station set up in your home. But be forewarned if the little sock slips off your baby it’ll alert you as if your baby has stopped breathing.
