The Yoto player has been a firm favourite in our house for years. If you haven’t come across it before, it’s a screen-free audio player designed specifically for children, with physical cards that let little ones choose their own stories, music, podcasts and activities. There’s also plenty beyond the cards, including radio, podcasts, sleep sounds, a night light and sleep-training features.
My four-year-old daughter has been using her 3rd generation Yoto (£89.99, Yotoplay.com) for years. It has become one of the few children’s products that genuinely gets used every single day, and that I regularly recommend to parents. But, there haven’t been any significant updates to the gadget since it launched in 2023. Until now, that is.
