Owlet's infant monitoring sock is back on sale in the US

Owlet Smart Sock 3rd-gen

Engadget Review
Owlet’s newest smart sock has a lot of thoughtful and helpful upgrades, from the wireless charging to the redesigned base station and sensor. Setup is simple, and the third-gen device carries over a lot of what worked on previous versions. However, disconnection alerts are still a pain point, and the redesigned sock doesn’t fit as well as the previous version.
The company's latest infant monitor brings plenty of thoughtful improvements, but it's still not perfect.
