Player (3rd Gen) - Kids Audio Player, Screen-Free Listening, Ages 3-12

This is one of those purchases I will be recommending to all of my friends with kids, especially if they homeschool. I wanted a screen free option for my kids to do during independent quiet time, and the Yoto has exceeded my expectations! Both my daughters (6 yes and 3.5 yrs) love listening, and it's easy enough for both of them to use. My 6 year old in particular has exploded with her interest in reading thanks to Yoto. One of my favorite features is the headphones hookup, which makes it a great activity while younger siblings are napping. The sound quality is very high as well, and you can customize many settings through the phone app. Honestly, ditch buying your kids a tablet for Christmas. A Yoto player is way more worth it!

We LOVE Yoto. The sound is so clear. It's small enough that my 2yr can carry it without dropping. My kids listening to Jake daily! It's their favorite thing. They learn fun facts, play cute games, draw alongs, very entertaining and engaging. The podcasts and story cards are endless. The book cards can be a bit pricey. You can also buy make your own and read a story to them or make a read along. Yoto is extremely thoughtful in being parent and kid friendly alike, their app is easy.

The Yoto Box has been such a great addition to our home. We previously used a Tonie Box and decided to get this one for our older son, and it’s been a perfect step up. It does take a few minutes to figure out the buttons at first, but once you get the hang of it, the ease of use is great. The overall functionality really stands out, especially with the option for chapter books—my son loves that he can continue listening to Harry Potter. The screen display is a fun and useful bonus, too. We’ve been impressed with the sound quality and loudness, which are both clear and strong enough for everyday listening. The quality and durability feel excellent so far, and it definitely seems built to last. Overall, we absolutely love it and highly recommend it for older kids.

Fun, screen-less entertainment. Easy to use and easy to travel. Perfect for listening to music during arts and crafts or snacking.

This really changed bedtime for us with our daughter. I highly recommend getting the Yoto club subscription. Kids will tire of the cards quickly. The club gives you access to a pretty large catalog of digital card options.

Very nice product but a little tedious to access content in different language due to market restrictions

We (as parents) and our kids love the Yoto! There is great variety to the cards, and there are a lot of options for different ages. Our kids use the Yoto for car rides, quiet time, bedtime, etc. The Yoto daily podcast is awesome! It is also nice that there is the Yoto radio with kid appropriate music and the sleep radio for nighttime. These come with the Yoto.

This is such a life saver for no screen time for my kids. It has a long battery life, my kids enjoy listening to their favorite music and learning different interests. I definitely recommend this!

I had no idea what to expect when we bought this for our 4yo for Christmas 2024. We got the base Yoto Player (3rd Gen) and have been super impressed by what it can do without the purchasing of additional cards. The Yoto Player is essentially a device that plays different kinds of audio content for your kids. You can buy additional cards that play different games and stories. Think of it like buying addition audio books for your Audible account, etc. That said, it's completely usable without buying additional cards and is actually quite high quality. The speaker is surprisingly fantastic, even at the higher volumes. It's incredibly simple for kids to use. There are two orange knobs on the top of the device that let you control volume and what mode it's playing it. One press of the right knob kicks off the free Yoto Daily podcast. Two presses will kick off the Radio mode. The Yoto Daily Podcast has been so much fun for our daughter. Jake, the guy who hosts the daily episode is hilarious and super child friendly. Today we were doing "Jakes Says" (Simon Says) and it was a blast! Every day is filled with some sort of fun, story and trivia, it's wonderful. The Radio is just as great with a choice selection of kid friendly music. The audio books you can often get for free are great too. My daughter loved the Frozen one over Christmas! The battery life is fantastic and will only need a regular charge if the device is running non-stop all day or night. Speaking of nights, it has a nighttime mode you can control via the app on your phone. We use it to play white noise for our daughter which has been great. During this mode it displays the Moon on the pixelated screen (not meant to be a proper display), which helps her remember it's nighttime and not to get up at 2am. You can also turn the device onto its face which turns on a gentle glow backlight to light up the room if that's what you need. Overall, SUPER happy with the device and the ability to control it via mobile app. I can't wait to get some cards and see what else it can do!

I am so excited with this amazing little cube! I had initially been looking online for something that would provide my 8 year old son with a clock, a night light and the ability to play some music and relaxation sounds before bed when I stumbled across this gem. I had been sceptical at first that perhaps my son, who adores his books and is already a confident free reader, was now a bit too old for a story player. But then I realised that this is SO much more than an audio player and now that I have explored it myself, setting it up for his birthday, I am SO excited for him to receive it. This product will ignite a new enthusiasm for bedtime reading and I know that it will encourage him to want to explore and engage with new stories and learning, and combined with all the other functions it has to offer, it will be the perfect addition to his bedroom. Things to note: -Arrival of item and packaging are absolutely spot on. Opening up the product and following the simple instructions for set up was smooth and enjoyable. There is an App to download that syncs in with the yoto. -You can set the times of the daytime/ nighttime display mode so it is essentially like a 'gro' clock too! You can even set an alarm! -There are even free yoto radio stations and sleep sounds which I particularly love! -There is a card provided with the yoto player which gives you clear instructions on how to use the player with a list of top tips. This card can then be used as a make your own card and you can download your own content to play! -The variety of cards to purchase is amazing and there is something for every age group including fiction, non fiction, music and educational.

We absolutely love the Yoto Player! It has completely transformed our kids’ screen time into something more engaging, educational, and imaginative. From the moment we unboxed it, it was clear this device was designed for kids, by people who truly understand kids. Setup was incredibly simple—even our 5-year-old could navigate it with ease. The audio cards are a brilliant idea. Just pop one in, and boom—you're off on a magical journey with stories, music, or educational content. No fiddly screens, no ads, no worries about what your child is being exposed to. It's 100% safe and age-appropriate. The audio quality is excellent, and the night light feature is a beautiful touch. Our little one uses it for bedtime stories and falls asleep listening to gentle music or calming tales. It’s also helped develop our child’s independence; they love being able to choose and play their own cards without needing adult help. What really stands out is the sheer variety of content—beloved classics, new discoveries, even podcasts and radio! And the daily Yoto updates are such a clever way to keep things fresh and exciting. We’ve also had fun recording our own stories onto blank cards, which makes it feel so personal and special. If you’re looking for a screen-free, imagination-boosting alternative that entertains, educates, and empowers your child, the Yoto Player is worth every penny. It’s not just a gadget—it’s an experience. Highly, highly recommended!

What an amazing product. Fun for the whole family. My grandchildren absolutely love this. Not only are there a variety of recognizable stories, available but you can record your own stories with your voice. Great idea to capture parents and grandparents reading to children. Great if little ones get up early in the morning and you need to sleep a bit longer....have them listen to a storytime.

Bought this as a birthday present for our 2 year old. She absolutely loves it and it is a fantastic alternative to screen time. She learned so quickly how to change the cards,” and adjust the volume settings, and we all enjoy the Yoto radio feature as it’s not just annoying children’s songs that play on the radio but normal music too! This is great to use as a nightlight although it’s not overly bright, some colours work better than others on the nightlight setting Amazing selection of cards on the shop at a decent price too. Great functionality on the app as well as directly on the player. We haven’t made much use of the podcast as my toddler is too young to be interested in that for now but what I love about this is it’s truly a device that my toddler can grow with and I feel like she will be using this for years and years to come!
