FAQs
Owlet Dream Duo — common questions
How much does the Owlet Dream Duo cost in Australia?
The Owlet Dream Duo (Dream Sock + Cam 2 bundle) is priced between $599 and $699 AUD at Australian retailers including Baby Bunting and The Memo. The Dream Sock and Cam 2 can also be purchased separately (~$399 for the Sock, ~$249 for the Cam 2).
Is the Owlet Dream Sock a medical device in Australia?
Yes, the Owlet Dream Sock is ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) listed as a medical device in Australia. It uses the same pulse oximetry technology found in hospitals to measure heart rate and oxygen saturation. However, it is designed as a wellness monitor, not a diagnostic device — always follow safe sleep guidelines and consult your paediatrician with concerns.
Does the Owlet Dream Duo require a subscription?
No, the Owlet Dream Duo provides live heart rate, oxygen, and sleep tracking without a subscription. Additional features like historical sleep trends and personalised sleep insights are available through an optional Owlet Dream subscription, but the core monitoring and alerting functions work without it.
