Yoto Mini (2024 Edition) + Make Your Own Card – Kids Screen-Free Bluetooth Audio Player, All-in-1 Travel Device Plays Stories Music Podcast Radio Ok-to-Wake Clock, Use as Speaker or with Headphones

This is a great product for younger kids who love listening to stories or music. The Yoto Mini is extremely durable and so are the cards. With only a couple buttons it's easy for young ones to use and worth the cost. It's used everyday around the house but also for long roadtrips. It can be used with our without headphones.

My child will not put this down! They love this toy and it has met and exceeded all expectations. They love the agency they have to select stories, change volume, and listen on headphones or not. My child is five and it's very simple for them to use the toy. They rarely need help from us, usually just to plug it in to charge. The device comes with more features than I initially expected as well, such as the free content like soundscapes and radio. I also love the write your own card feature! I will be recommending this to every parent I know. 100 percent worth the money.

I bought 2 of these for my 5 & 7 year olds. They’re the best thing since sliced bread!! I love that you can add more than one to an account so they a share stories and music. They love bopping around with their mini yotos. The Yoto has fun little features like timers for brushing teeth and tidying up. Also podcasts for kids. You can also make your own Yoto card. It reminds me of when I used to mis my own tapes or burn my own cds. It’s really so cute and I love that it doesn’t have a screen.

We got the Yoto for my toddler for Christmas (2y) and they LOVE it! she very quickly understood the controls as they are simple to use. There are SO many cards you can buy to use with it I know she’ll get years of use out of it. The sound quality is good, and the volume quality and variability too. I got a little silicone case to go around it just for added protection. It’s a decent amount of money for a pretty small physical object but the gift of screen free audio books in a kid friendly package is priceless!

Ok, so I just have to say, this is probably one of the greatest things we have ever gotten as parents to a 2 year old. I tell my husband, if we ever have another baby, I'll only ask people for more cloth diapers, and one more yoto mini. Lol Seriously. I wanted to initially reduce TV time, which this does significantly. You don't need to be super crazy tech savvy. But some tips, it is hard for me to upload audio through the app, so either on my phone or tablet I need to use the web browser to upload audio to the playlists. The audio just takes forever or crashes or stops uploading often through the app itself. Getting audio content is easy. The only yoto cards you need are the Make Your Own cards. Those will grow with your child forever as you can change the content whenever you want instead of buying specific cards you can't write over. I also print stickers of the songs or story covers, cut and paste to the MYO cards so my toddler can easily identify them and choose what she wants to listen to. At first I thought the yoto mini player would be too hard for her to understand and use, but it literally took her 2 days and she was listening to whatever she wanted, learning to raise and lower the volume etc. Kids are so smart. You can download audio from books, from YouTube, from all kinds of websites like the Internet Archive, and it's just never ending you have so many options. Our daughter is bilingual, so even if it is a painstaking process, I put in order her songs and audios to have the same episode in Spanish, followed by English sharing the same custom icon, all throughout her entire custom made playlists. It can take a while to make them exactly how you like, but it is so worth seeing how happy and bright they get. She can look for the icon on the little screen to find a certain song or story she wants, and she knows the first one is always Spanish and second is English. My husband is also amazed at the Yoto and how versatile they are. She even has Bible stories, biblical scriptures, a card where I read books in both languages, Bluey songs and episodes, Super Simple in eng/spa, etc. We're just so pleased. Thanks Yoto! She takes it everywhere: to the store, in the car, on walks, everywhere. I can see her as a teenager one day with her custom content changing with her as she grows.

We heard about the Yoto from a friend of ours and I loved the idea of it so much that I decided to give it a try for my 9 and 6 year olds. My gosh. They loved it so much that I ended up purchasing a second one the next day while it was still on sale. They love getting to pick out a story and sit in their beds to listen to their cards. I like the variety of stories you can purchase and that, if you wanted to, you can "Make Your Own" cards by downloading an audio book into one (has to be an MP3 format though). The only issue we had with setting our first one up was that it wouldn't connect to our WiFi via our phones. We think it was having problems because we use Android phones. We got around this by creating an account on a phone then logging into the Yoto app using said account on one of our iPads and completing the set-up that way. Once the set-up was complete and the Yoto was connected, I had no issues with using the app from my phone. When we received the second Yoto, we just used the same process and had no problems. The Yoto Mini itself is easy to use for my kids and if they have any problems starting a story or skipping to another chapter, it's easy enough for me to open up the apps and control their Yoto that way. I do recommend getting a protective cover for it though so it doesn't get damaged if accidentally dropped.

We got these for our 2 kids (22m & 4) both LOVE them! My almost 2 year old can easily change the cards out and figured out how to use it the first day with no issues. My 4 year old has sat and listened to stories for hours. I love that I can control everything from my phone and how many features it has. It has been tossed around and seems very durable. Well worth the price! If you’re debating on this or the tonies like I was, GET THE YOTO!!

Love this thing! I did a ton of research between this and a Tonie box before purchase. For cost, content, features, and growth adaptability i went with Yoto obvsiously. Got it for my then 4yr old as an Xmas gift back in 2024 because we i had a 2nd kid in April of that same year, so bedtime stories were no longer consistent for her. I wanted something for her that was simple to operate and would keep the storytelling alive while i was unavailable. She has loved it from the moment i gave it to her! I bought a few card packs, Daniel Tiger, Paw Patrol, and Sleepy Stories. She listens to the cards all the time and we just discovered the radio (AWESOME that there are no ads and the variety of music is AMAZING). We have used it on 2hr/10hr road trips with head phones and just around the house while she is playing independently. Even on 30-40 min car rides it's been fantastic. Love the portability of it. I mentioned it to my sistes-in-law, so my nephew(3yr old) got one for Xmas too. He loves the radio. Honestly, I don't have anything negative for this product besides maybe the ease of use with the cards for kids under 3.
