The discount is applied automatically at checkout when you use the link above. It usually requires a minimum spend (typically the cost of a player).
We’ve had Yoto players in our house for a while now, and they’ve been brilliant. The kids use them constantly - stories at bedtime, podcasts in the morning, music in the playroom. It’s proper screen-free entertainment that they can control themselves.
Which Player Should You Get?
We’ve used both the full-size Yoto Player and the Yoto Mini, and they serve different purposes.
Yoto Player (3rd Generation)
The full-size player is perfect for the bedroom. It has a pixel display that doubles as a nightlight and clock - the “Ok-to-wake” clock feature alone is worth it if you’ve got early risers.
Highlights:
- Stereo sound - noticeably better for music
- Built-in nightlight
- Room thermometer (shows in the app)
- Up to 24 hours battery life
- Wireless charging dock included
Best for: Bedside tables, sleep training, and listening to music in the playroom.
Yoto Mini
The Mini is tiny - about the size of a juice box. It does almost everything the big one does but fits in a jacket pocket.
Highlights:
- Incredibly portable - great for car rides, planes, restaurants
- Headphone jack and Bluetooth for quiet time
- Feels slightly more rugged for throwing in a bag
- Cheaper than the full-size player
Best for: Travel, car trips, and older kids who want to carry it around.

Why We Love It
It’s not just about the stories - it’s about independence. The kids can pick what they want to listen to without needing a phone or tablet.
A few things that stand out:
- No microphone or camera - completely private, which I really appreciate
- Yoto Daily - a free daily podcast that covers news, jokes, and facts. My kids listen to it every morning
- Make Your Own cards - you can record yourself reading books or load MP3s onto blank cards
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Yoto referral link save?
Yoto sets the discount and changes it from time to time, so the exact amount shows in your basket when you follow the link. It’s applied as money off your first order rather than as a code you type in.
Does the Yoto referral discount work on cards?
Usually it needs a player in the basket. Card-only orders typically fall below the minimum spend, so add a Yoto Player or Yoto Mini first and then the cards.
Does the discount work if I’ve already got a Yoto account?
The referral is for new customers making their first order. If you already have an account and have ordered before, it won’t apply.
Yoto Player or Yoto Mini for a 3 year old?
The full-size Player for the bedroom if you want the nightlight and Ok-to-wake clock, the Mini if it’s mainly for the car and holidays. If it’s a first player and budget allows, we’d go for the full-size one.
What age is Yoto for?
Yoto suggests from about 3 upwards, and the cards range from toddler stories through to chapter books for older children. Our two are 4 and 6 and both use theirs daily.
