Product Information

For example, and this may just be a question of taste, I’ve found some of the lullaby Tonies to really grate on me, with the singing voices being not as high quality as you might expect. The Yoto Mini does all of the things the Yoto Player does apart from the nightlight and temperature sensor, plus it has a much smaller screen. If you want something with a bit more potential for longevity, the Yoto beats Tonies in this regard. Extra features However there is also free content available on the My Tonies app Library. To use the free content in the app just put your Creative-Tonie on the Toniebox and then go into the app and assign the content to that Tonie. Press and hold one of the buttons on the Toniebox to sync and you can now play that content. The free content includes songs and stories. At the time of reviewing this there are 21 free items in the Library on my app. What are the best Tonies?

But there are some key differences you need to be aware of when making your purchasing decision. Screen The Yoto features a screen with a pixel graphic display, whereas the Toniebox just has a few simple lights on the top. Yoto Cards vs Tonies Operating the Toniebox is extremely simple – with no screens or myriad of buttons – you just pop a Tonie on top of the box and off it goes.

I particularly like the fact you can use the app to set a maximum limit on the volume on the Toniebox, as the kids tend to play things as loud as they will possibly go whereas I need them a little quieter to hear myself think! Don’t lose the toy, though: If you misplace a content Tonie, the story disappears with it. Tonies run from 16 to 50 minutes apiece, and if you want to get more value for money, choose musical content, which tends to run between 40 and 50 minutes. Disney albums average about 22 minutes. Content Tonies are pre-loaded themed Tonies that you can buy ready to play. Including Disney, Julia Donaldson classics, Beethoven classics, Terrible Tudors and Pixar characters, there are a huge variety on offer here in the UK, alone. She doesn’t yet have the attention span to sit through a whole story, but she loves listening to her Disney music and putting on her bedtime lullabies. 6. Super Versatile Using the Toniebox is incredibly easy for kids to get the hang of, and even very young children will manage to swap Tonies around to load different content.

Rechargeable battery means kids can take the Toniebox on a car journey or move easily around the house. Our Toniebox was a gift from the children’s grandparents. We placed it in the girls’ playroom so that they could both get use from it – as we didn’t want any squabbling over whose bedroom it went into! Toniebox kids’ speakers replace over-stimulating screens with simple tactile controls. And once a bedtime story has finished, the Toniebox will automatically turn itself off and go to sleep. Easy, screen-free bedtimes is just one reason this kids’ audio speaker is loved by parents. Our co-testers have been enjoying their Toniebox for nearly a year; it’s a genius item for any kid’s bedroom. The little ones are especially enamored of the gorgeous, hand-painted figurines which play the songs and stories. With little ears that work as knobs and an impressive selection of stories and songs, the Toniebox promises hours of independent fun for children aged three to seven. Just don't lose the Tonies, or you'll be in trouble. I love the selection of colours available and when placed on a shelf or bedside table the Toniebox and Tonies add a lovely splash of colour to a bedroom.On average, Disney Tonies only last a measly 22 minutes, whereas a recent sleepy Tonie I bought – Lullaby Melodies with Sleepy Sheep– lasts a whopping 140 minutes.
