CNET EDITORS' RATING
THE GOOD The Owlet Baby Monitor is well-designed and easy to use. It's comfortable for kids, and sends alerts very reliably.
THE BAD For the $250 price tag, the features just seem way too sparse.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Owlet is reliable enough to help some parents relax, but it doesn't offer as many features as the price tag might indicate. It won't replace a more conventional baby monitor, either.

Wen you hear the phrase "baby monitor," the first thing you might think of is a set of old walkie-talkie-type devices that let you hear your sleeping child (along with some static). But the Owlet Baby Monitor, along with a wave of new devices like it, are redefining that term.
The Owlet is a two-part device. It includes a small bootie that fits on your child's foot and a base station that sits next to your bed. These two components communicate, so when the monitor senses abnormal oxygen levels or heart rate for your child, the base station then sets off an appropriate alarm. After working with the Owlet for a few days, I love the concept and performance. My wife and I really did sleep easier knowing our son's vitals were being monitored.
That said, I can't recommend the Owlet to everyone, simply because the $250 price tag is so much higher than what its straightforward features seem to justify. Plus, it just won't replace more traditional monitors that let you know if your kid wakes up at night.
