What is a Yoto? The Yoto is screen free, audio player in which your child can listen to stories, songs, podcasts and more on a specially designed card. These cards can be inserted into the top of the player. The Yoto is offered in a full size, as well as a mini version and cards can be purchased through the Yoto store, where there are over 900 products available. You can also access your Yoto, its content and adjust the settings all through an easy to use app on your phone.

If you are looking to limit screen time but keep your little one entertained, this is a reasonably priced alternative to a tablet or iPad. Just like an iPad, the Yoto is headphone compatible, or can be played out loud like a speaker. There is an option to join the Yoto Club, a subscription (paid monthly or annually) where you receive free shipping, 10% off every purchase and 2 club credits per month. Club credits can be redeemed on any of the books that are in the Yoto Club. While the Yoto Club options change monthly, in general there are far less options in the club compared to the store as a whole, but nonetheless the Yoto club may be a good option for your family.

There are over 900 products available in the Yoto store. These include audiobooks, music, podcasts and activities. In addition to the cards available, there is also the option to create your own content. To do so, you purchase Make Your Own Cards from the store, simply download an audiobook or podcast from your personal library, or record your own voice, link it to the card and you now have the content easily accessible on your Yoto. 

In addition to using the content on the cards, the Yoto player itself comes with a free Yoto daily radio, available to you with the push of a button. The Yoto players, especially the mini version, are portable and neither require WiFi to use (after initially downloading the content). There are accessories available to purchase, like a carrying case, protective case or wearable strap.
