With a whole host of exciting content and new Yoto cards expected in 2023, this extra storage capacity is a welcome addition. How do you charge the Yoto 3rd generation player?

You’ll of course need to supervise younger children with the Player, but I think it is a great toy for those younger ages too. Yoto Player pros and cons Pros The Yoto Mini is great looking, and we loved its minimalist design as soon as we laid eyes on it. In terms of getting it set up, as long as you have a strong WiFi connection, it couldn’t be easier.Nightlight feature – The nightlight feature is brilliant. It acts as a perfect visual way of showing your child that it’s time to go to sleep. Once the story is done, and the Yoto is down, it’s time to close your eyes. Which one you will prefer really depends on how important the nightlight function is to you and whether you prefer the larger screen. Laura:"It got her to sleep in her own bed for the first time EVER!! My daughter has never been a great sleeper and usually takes hours of cuddles for her to drop off. Since changing our routine to incorporate the Yoto Player she is now able to fall asleep on her own. We still have a bedtime story and cuddles but now I put the Yoto Player on and she is happy for me to leave the room. The Yoto Player has also improved her listening and concentration. When we listen to the stories together she is able to discuss the plot and what she thought of it." Setting an alarm (you can set multiple alarms and adjust by day of the week and time). There’s a variety of different alarm sounds or you can set it to play Yoto Radio.

Yoto says this product is suitable for kids aged three to 12+. There’s certainly content to satisfy that broad age range. Play Yoto Cards (sold separately) containing a wide range of audio such as popular stories and educational content Looking for a safe, fun and easy-to-use audio player for young children? The Yoto Mini could be just what you need. With its simple design and range of age-appropriate content, the device is designed with little ones in mind.Secondly, I wish there it was slightly more interactive. Possibly because my children are younger, the Yoto is lost in the chaos of the day. It is solely used at night. If it did have a microphone or the ability to ask/answer questions, I think the children may engage with it more in the day. Overall thoughts

And the new 3rd generation Yoto Player has the addition of a temperature sensor. How important this actually is to you probably varies a lot. If you already have some headphones – you the wireless set cos with a daisy chain cable so you can link to another wired set for siblings to share audio too. Set the volume (crucial if they’re insisting on blasting it at full volume when you’re wanting some peace!) The Yoto Player is great for children (and adults) of all ages, although officially its aimed at children between 3 and 12 years. All of the Yoto Cards come with age recommendations, so you can choose content that best suits your child’s age and interests. When was the Yoto Player 3rd Generation released?

Our tester gave the Yoto Mini an impressive 5/5 stars. As an age-appropriate introduction to tech, it’s hard to beat.

However there is content available that’s great for younger kids too. The player itself shouldn’t be handled by babies or kids under 3, however I would definitely say those kids will love the stories, such as Disney classics. My kids absolutely adore the Yoto Player – having already been long-time users of the Yoto Player 2nd generation and Yoto Mini. Well first of all you can just play the content to the Player via the app. Find the card in the Yoto App, under your My Cards section in the Library, and hit play.

Final verdict: Yoto Mini review

Has your little one finished listening to the story? Remove the card, and the Yoto will display the time, or you can turn the device onto its front, where it will illuminate with a changeable colour to act as a nightlight. Plus, the light can be controlled by an adult from the comfort of your smartphone. Another power issue warning sign is slow charging speeds when compared to before. If you notice that your device takes significantly longer than usual to charge then it could be due to a faulty connection between the two components or because of a weak current coming from the charger itself. The best solution for this problem would be to buy a new Yoto charger and replace it with the one thats currently being used.
