Yoto Mini Player

Our 3 year old loves the Yoto even more than I expected, and uses it almost every day. It is a great alternative to screens, is brilliantly designed to give the child their own control over the device. It gives us small breaks throughout the day, especially during preparation of meals, and sitting at the table together listening to stories and songs while eating. Also a great bedtime companion.The delivery and setup of the product was seamless. Be prepared to have a few minutes of set up time the first time you use it, it's not just putting a card in and playing. But after setup everything is super smooth.

Amazing product my kids use every day

We have five Yotos, including this newest Mini. Love, love, love them. Great company, excellent customer service. We've been using ours for three years with no complaints. Very user-friendly and intuitive. Customize functions through the app. Cards are an investment, but great for kids. We also use Make Your Own cards a lot.

App required to use

App required. This is frustrating to me because no where in any description did it say an app was required. I suspected it might be for the make your own card, but I bought three cards that had audio books on them and the way they are marketed, it makes it sound like it’s just a smaller cd and cd player. It’s not. Very disappointing. I’m tired of all things claiming to be “computer free fun” for your kid but I still need a computer to set it up.

Awesome Media Player!

We love the Yoto Mini! It plays a wide variety of audio books, music and radio, as well as podcasts...all kid appropriate content. We've had the mini for only a short time, but it's already been so useful in helping my almost 9 yr old spend less time on screens and makes bedtime much easier for her. I love the portability for when we go on trips too! It's been well worth every penny.

Fantastic for kids screen free music and audio

This is easy to use (both for my kids and for me on the backend), great sound quality, compact, and works just as expected. I love that I can record my own audio and also use songs I already own with the “make your own” cards. We also use the timers and the free kids radio station a lot. I HIGHLY recommend. I would suggest also purchasing the silicone adventure jacket accessory since this is likely to get dropped. The yoto mini is expensive, but we feel like it has been worth it for us.

Get one!

Get one! We bought our oldest one when she was 2. She didn't really get into much at first but now that she's 4 she uses it constantly for story time, jokes, Yoto daily is amazing! We love Jake! She also loves some of the meditation cards. Now her 2yo brother LOVES it. He mostly just uses the radio feature but he tries to work the cards as well. We've bought a Yoto original and a mini now so they stop fighting over it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for less screen time. There's so many options with the make your own cards it's amazing.

It's awesome !

I was torn (like most) between the Yoto mini and the Tonie. Originally went with the tonie and I wanted to love it so bad and wanted my kids (3&7) to love it as well but just couldn’t get there…so fast forward through the return of the tonie we jumped right in and purchase the Yoto and I can’t say anything bad about it! We LOVE it! It is so much more travel friendly than the tonie and more affordable in my opinion. The cards are only $9.99 compared to the $20-$25 of a tonie and if you download the Yoto app it opens a whole new world of FREE stories and songs which change monthly (you don’t get a whole lot of free these days) they offer monthly or yearly subscriptions to help save even more money. I have no regrets. I love it as a screen free option!

Love the Yoto mini

I got this for my music and story loving 7 year old. It has been amazing! She plays with it all the time and it has significantly decreased the amount of times I have to say no to screens each day. I love there is a ton of great kid safe music options and I can set volume controls for the device and headphones. The mini is perfect too because she can take it everywhere!

So helpful for travel and multiple kiddos!

We love our Yoto minis! We started out with the original Yoto model, and quickly realized we wanted the minis, as well. The bigger one mostly stays at home in the kids' bedroom, and these travel with us in the car wherever we go! No more fighting over who gets to pick what to listen to, and even mama can listen to her podcasts and audiobooks and not have to hear the complaining about, "But I want to listen to Frozen!" Each of my kids can take their mini, their choice of cards, and their own pair of headphones in the car, on the plane, or even in their bike basket for music-on-the-go! We love that it is cross-compatible with the original Yoto, so we can use all our cards for any of the devices. It's also a great bluetooth speaker, and the sound is much better and ... MoreWe love our Yoto minis! We started out with the original Yoto model, and quickly realized we wanted the minis, as well.

Such a wonderful device for families that spend lots of time on the go, or who have multiple kids who have different interests.

The best thing I got for my kids

Yoto is by far the best present I got my kids. We have 3 and so many cards. My kids, learn, dance and get entertained in long car rides and trips. Unlike Tonies , Yoto uses cards, which is way more practical than little figurines. You can even make your own card . It’s perfect .
