We are thrilled to announce that Owlet Dream Duo™ smart baby monitor has been awarded the IndyBest Badge by the Independent UK. 


Why this is significant:

Choosing the right baby products can feel overwhelming, which is why trusted, independent reviews are so valuable. That’s what makes being featured by The Independent’s IndyBest such a meaningful moment for us.


The Independent’s IndyBest is known for its independent, expert-led product reviews. Each product featured is tested by individuals who use them in the same way as their readers would. This approach ensures that the reviews are both practical and based on real experience. IndyBest only includes products that meet their standards for quality, functionality, and reliability. If a product doesn’t deliver meaningful value or isn’t something their reviewers would personally choose, it doesn’t make the list.


The inclusion of Owlet Dream Duo™ reflects the product’s ability to provide real support for parents. It acknowledges the Dream Duo™ baby monitor’s thoughtful design, its ease of use, and the reassurance it offers in monitoring a baby’s sleep and wellbeing with clarity and confidence.

Why Owlet Dream Duo™ Stands Out

Dream Duo™ is more than just a baby monitor. Combining Dream Sock®, which monitors real-time pulse rate, oxygen level and sleep trends, with Owlet Cam® 2, which offers high quality video, two-way audio and smart alerts, Dream Duo™ offers an unparalleled view into your baby’s sleep and well-being. 


Unlike traditional monitors, the medically certified Dream Sock® provides real-time health data, enabling parents to monitor trends and receive alerts if readings fall outside of preset health zones. The base station glows green when everything is okay — offering quick reassurance at a glance, even in the middle of the night. The Independent called this a ‘welcome reassurance’ noting that it even helped them spot early signs of illness before symptoms appeared. In addition to health tracking, Dream Sock® also monitors sleep patterns and delivers personalised sleep insights through the Owlet® Dream App. 


“Having spent the past 10 months tracking our baby’s awake windows, it was a welcome relief to simply follow the suggested nap times in the app. Using your baby's age, and information you log on their awake times and how long they last slept, the device works out the next optimum sleep window.”

Owlet Cam® 2 offers real-time viewing with a range of smart features, including 1080p HD video, two-way audio, and alerts for sound, motion, or crying. It also includes night vision, temperature sensors, and the ability to save video clips, giving parents a comprehensive view of their baby's surroundings. With the two-way audio function, parents can soothe and comfort their little one remotely — all without having to leave the comfort of their bed.


Dream Duo™ is designed to support parents from the very start of their parenting journey, providing a complete picture of their baby’s well-being. With real-time alerts and personalised insights, it helps you feel more in control and connected — even when you’re not in the same room. Parenthood is full of unknowns, but Dream Duo™ offers greater peace of mind, more restful nights, and a deeper understanding of your baby’s needs.
