    I have used an owlet since my baby was born. It gives us such peace of mind at night knowing that if something were to happen, we would be alerted. This newer one has a much better fit and the monitor is much easier to switch from sock to sock. I have had some issues with connectivity. I have been loosing signal with the base in my room. I moved it to his room and the issues stopped. It also will randomly alarm my phone saying the sock is disconnected even though he hasn’t moved. Once I dismiss it, its back to reading normal. It’s also helpful that it tells you how long they have been asleep and how deep of a sleep they are in. It also shows when they wake up. I would say the peace of mind outweighs the cons.

    Good for tracking sleep patterns and heartbeat

    It keeps track of my baby's heart rate and O2 saturation along with sleep patterns. It tells mw if my baby is wide awake, wiggling or restful. Although sometimes the connections gets lost from the hub and makes a sounds. It gets annoying once in a while.

    Anxiety Mom

    I bought this Owlet Sock when my son was first born considering I was anxious if he was breathing or not some nights (he has a heart murmur and other health conditions that a concerning). Two things I didn’t like about it. The first being how sensitive it is. My son is a kicker and a mover, has been since in the womb. With that being said, he set the alarm off every diaper change, every adjustment in bed, all the time. It was exhausting. Second, it drove my anxiety wild. The app gives you this information on your child that you really don’t need to know like how deep of a sleep he is getting or his oxygen levels. It’s great if you have a kiddo getting the adequate and average numbers but my son does not. I’m still rating it a 4 star product considering it did the job it was intended for. It was just not right for our family.

    As new parents, this gave us the peace of mind we needed in our first few weeks when SIDS is as it's highest. We love how it alerts us if it can't find a reading. Rating it a 4 star due to the false alerts at times and the lagging of the alerts. We also have not been able to figure out how to travel with the owlet due to having to connect to the wifi everytime and we cant see her sleep overnight. It continues to alert us tho. But overall amazing product!

    This really helped us as first time parents feel so much safer especially since she was a nicu baby and letting our child sleep away from us, it let us know when things were not right and even if it was a false alarm I would rather it be to sensitive then not sensitive enough. we also got the camera and that also helped letting us know if it was to hot or to cold in there for her, it was pretty easy to set up, but there were a few times it took a while to connect to the camera when we were trying to look, i do wish the sock would go into bigger sizes i would have used it so much longer if i could.

    Definitely gives me peace of mind at night, but when we first purchased it, it seemed a little buggy. Would say she was awake when she wasn’t and vice versa. It does it a v lot less now, so maybe it just has to get used to my baby’s pattern ls

    Works well, battery lasts long 12+ hours. Bought just the sock for $300 but they had a black friday sale so I exchanged the sock for the sock and camera bundle and only had to pay an extra $20 the process returning and exchanging with best buy was a breeze.

    Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but it seems to be a great item if you can afford it. We just decided to hold off on it for now because of mixed reviews.

    We bought this to monitor our sons blood oxygen level when he got out of the NICU. Has scared us a few times with saying his heart rate was 280. Reset it multiple times and still read that high. Then went back to 150 out of no where. Called the hospital and they said to feel his heart, didn’t feel like 280. Went to the doctor the next morning and his heart was completely fine. Device spazzed out. Has done it a couple times since. We set it on the charger after cleaning the sensor and then it seems to go back to normal. Other than the glitch, a great device

    Pointless and expensive

    The sock quality felt nice and everything was packaged nicely. However, owlet is not what it used to be. You used to be able to track heart rate and spo2 for the baby but now this new sock and app only track “sleep habits” and alert you if the baby isn’t sleeping or having a hard time sleeping which I find pointless. If you’re co-sleeping, like we were, you would know if your baby had a good night or not because you would be up with them. I wish they didn’t change the way the device worked. We returned the product due to it being pretty much pointless, but the device itself was nicely constructed which is why I gave it the rating that I did

    Quality product. It is nice to get peace of mind when your new baby sleeps. I do wish it had a longer range between the base and the foot piece but other then that it works great.

    Good device, it is a little bit of a down grade from previous versions when it actually gave you the pulse oximetry number (99%, 94%, ect), not just a color range or notification to check your baby. Helpful especially if they are sick and may be running lower oxigen and you want ti medicate with nebulizer ect to improve their situation. Spoke to company they said it was for legal reasons they had to modify the machine.

    Got this more for my wife than baby. First thing first, make sure the placement is correct or this thing will be setting the alarm off constantly. With this device on my wife always felt more comfortsble sleeping knowing something was monitoring the babies breathing. Works in the car for when she is travelling with the baby and not having to worry about the baby if she falls asleep.

    Device is great. No false alarms, no issues of note. The app could use some work, and would benefit from an overhaul of how the data is displayed.

    Really helpful, let’s you relax a little but not really. Tracker feature helps setting a schedule. Keep the sock on the base if your not using it, the base plays a song that always catches me off guard.

    Great for giving me peace of mind at night. Only complaint is the sock is a little big for my baby’s foot but it still picks up good enough to give pretty accurate readings.
