Choosing the Right Yoto Player for Your Child
Yoto is designed to put kids in control of their listening, learning and play, with simple physical controls that let them choose what they want to hear. With the Yoto player in Australia, they can explore stories, music, learning and more, all without a screen.
Here’s what to look for when choosing musical toys for your child:
- Think about where they’ll use it
The Yoto Player is a natural fit for home, with built-in stereo speakers and a night light that works particularly well for bedtime or quiet listening. The Yoto Mini is smaller and easier to take from room to room or pack for weekends away and family holidays.
- Compare the size and portability
If you’re after something that can stay in one spot, the Yoto Player’s larger design makes sense. For car trips, visits to family or taking listening along on the go, the Mini’s compact size makes it the more portable option.
- Check the battery life
Both are designed for cordless listening, but the battery life differs. The Yoto Player offers up to 24 hours, while the Mini offers up to 18 hours, so think about how often your child will be listening away from a power point.
- Take a look at the controls
Physical buttons, dials and cards make both models easy for kids to operate on their own, without a touchscreen. That hands-on setup gives them the freedom to choose their own listening and brings a more interactive element to sensory play.
- Think about what they’ll listen to
Both players use the same style of physical cards, so the choice of player doesn’t really limit their content. You can build a collection around classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Paddington and Winnie-the-Pooh to Disney and Pixar favourites such as Frozen. There are also interactive musical books for toddlers packed with fun songs and audio adventures.
Keeping Your Yoto Player Ready for Listening
Keep your Yoto ready for the next story by charging it when needed, wiping the player gently with a soft cloth and taking care around the screen. Store your cards in a dedicated binder to keep them together and easy for kids to find, especially your favourite interactive play-a-sound books.
