I bought the Owlet Dream Duo (Gen 3) Smart Baby Monitor for my daughter, who is a first-time mom, and it has given her so much peace of mind. Being able to monitor her baby’s sleep and well-being has helped ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with being a new parent.
She loves how easy it is to use, and it’s comforting for her to be able to check on her baby at any time. As a grandma, it also makes me feel better knowing she has that extra support.
Definitely a great investment for any new parent who wants a little extra reassurance!

I’ve been using this baby sock monitor and haven’t had any false readings like I’ve seen mentioned in some reviews. It’s been accurate and reliable for us so far.
I really like having the peace of mind it gives, especially during naps and overnight. It’s easy to set up and comfortable for my baby to wear.
Overall, it’s been a great tool for reassurance and I’m really happy with it.

If I could give it zero stars I would! FTM please don’t buy this product! It broke down in less than 5 months, and return window on Amazon is shorter than all the other baby items you get from the registry. The idea of this product sounds amazing and that’s what got me to buy it. It started out great, until my child started screaming and crying trying to take off the stupid sock at night. My baby is fine wearing stocks and shoes, so I didn’t understand what the problem was until I realized that something was poking on that sock causing discomfort. Alright, I thought, no sock for us, but we can still use the camera, right? Yeah, well that camera slowly started to lose WiFi connection and none of the trouble shooting advice they have listed helped. It also lags like crazy! Sometimes I would watch myself on the live feed doing things with my child and it’s been a minute since we left the room! So it never gave me accurate timing of my child’s movement, I would hear baby cry in the house before camera could notify me about it even with extra sensitive settings! It also drained my phone battery a lot trying to connect all the time. I had to force close the app at least 10 times a day and restart it to get something to work. One day the camera just disconnected completely on its own and that’s when I had enough of it. It’s so frustrating trying to get a good connection with this thing anyway. I thought ok, let me just get a replacement and return this item. Well… Amazon has a short return window for it (for some reason, idk why since it’s a baby item and all the other baby items have extended return windows through Amazon registry, even new camera set has 6 months return window, hmmm…). I was told to contact Owlet directly, which I did and they wanted nothing to do with their malfunctioning equipment. They sent me back to Amazon and we’ve closed the loop. So now I’m stuck with a $400 item that is piece of trash and can’t be returned/refunded. Replacement camera was only $80 and doesn’t require WiFi, doesn’t lag and has a separate parent console unit. Save your money ladies and get something that will actually work! I hope my experience helps others. I can tell I’m not the only person having issues since when I purchased this item it had 4.2 review score and now it’s 3.8, what a shock! 🙂

As a nicu parent, the owlet brings so much reassurance and comfort that our little one is doing good while we’re sleeping. The battery lasts through the night with a good charge (which it charges pretty fast) it’s easy to use. I believe this is worth the price, it saves lives.

We've had these for my daughter and son and they give us peace of mind we have not had any false positives that would cause undue stress. Easy to read the app and love to see the videos! Love being able to check in on my kiddos when I'm at work with the app! Couldn't imagine not having this!

We charge this device daily so we can use it overnight, so the battery life isn’t very impressive.
We place the sensor on our baby’s feet, but it can easily fall off if the baby kicks a lot. If it doesn’t fall off, it may feel like it’s on too tight. The fit is okay—not great—but it is adjustable and comes with multiple bands. What works best for us is putting our baby in onesies that cover the feet, which helps keep it in place. It also doesn’t work as well if lotion or creams are on the bottom of the feet.
The device monitors heart rate, oxygen, and sleep, but the only metric I consistently pay attention to is oxygen. One time our baby flipped over and couldn’t turn back, and the device alarmed because his oxygen dropped. That alert was accurate and very helpful.
That said, there are many false alarms, which can be extremely frustrating—especially at 2 a.m. trying to figure out why it’s beeping.
The device itself is fairly durable. I also like the camera: the image is clear, it picks up sound well, and you can talk through the app and your baby can hear you.
Overall:
Despite the short battery life and false alarms, the oxygen monitoring and camera features make this device helpful. I would still recommend it, with realistic expectations.
