Should I Buy the Yoto Mini or Toniebox for Bedtime Stories?

For bedtime stories, the better choice usually depends on your child’s age and how much they fidget at night.

• Pick the Toniebox for younger toddlers. It’s soft and padded, very easy for little kids to use, and the figurines sit on top in a way that feels simple and toy-like. One thing to keep in mind is that if your child bumps it while cuddling or tossing in bed, the figure can get knocked off and playback may pause.
• Pick the Yoto Mini for older toddlers or school-aged kids. Its cards slide into the device more securely, so they’re less likely to get bumped loose during bedtime movement. It’s also compact and works well as a bedside audio player. The main downside is that it’s a harder, less cuddly device than the Toniebox.

If your child wants something soft and toy-like, go Toniebox. If you want a more secure, portable player for a child who can handle cards independently, go Yoto Mini.
