Rank #8 in Best Baby Movement Monitors 2026: 10 Ranked, 3 Need a Second Device
Babytone Baby Pulse Oximeter Sock with ViHealth App
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Babytone Baby Pulse Oximeter is a sock monitor: a soft foot sock holding an optical sensor, worn on the baby's foot, feeding oxygen level, heart rate and movement readings to the free ViHealth app. It sits at number 8 in this guide at £109.99.
The finding on this page is the count, not the score. The Babytone is listed at 4.5 out of 5, the same headline figure many better-reviewed products carry, but it has 16 ratings behind it, against 1,162 for the £149.99 Babysense bundle in this same guide. The listing's own breakdown — 66 five-star, 28 four-star, 6 one-star — adds up to 100, so those three numbers cannot be describing 16 ratings. What it does not share with the three listings in this guide that need a second device in the room: the Babytone says in its own bullet that it works as a standalone monitor, with no camera in the box.
Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as shown, not from any test of our own.

“We have been really pleased with this Baby Pulse meter and whilst its somewhat stressfull at first when monitoring your newborn it gives really reasurance one you settle in with teh monitorThe app is quite easy to use and we had no issues connecting to the monitor, the App records and stores vitals for reviewThe sock is soft and very secure meaning the chances of it slipping off and giving you a heart attack is low.The battery is long lasting easily lasting through the night.The unit is also very well made and although its not cheap you can see and feel where the monies gone. I think this is pretty close hospital reliability.”

Questions people ask
Does the Babytone need a camera or a second monitor?
No. The listing says it works as a standalone monitor, storing up to 4 sessions in its built-in memory and syncing them to the ViHealth app for unlimited storage. No camera appears in the included components.
What does the Babytone track overnight?
Oxygen level, heart rate and movement, according to the listing, with sleep pattern analysis through the ViHealth app.
How many ratings does the Babytone oximeter have?
16, at 4.5 out of 5. The same listing shows a breakdown of 66 five-star, 28 four-star and 6 one-star, which adds to 100 — a mismatch with the 16-rating count that we can report but not explain.
Which sock sizes come in the box?
Three: S, M and L, listed for babies weighing 0-8.6 lbs, 8.6-18.7 lbs and 18.7-30.6 lbs. The product name gives the age range as 0-36 months, which is broader than those three weight bands.
Can I share the sleep records?
Yes. Sleeping summaries can be reviewed and shared as PDF or CSV from the ViHealth app, which the listing says runs on iOS and Android.
Do I need my phone next to the cot all night?
No. The built-in memory stores up to 4 sessions on its own, and the app syncs the data afterwards.
