What age is appropriate for a Toniebox?
While Tonieboxes are designed for children aged three years and up, infants as young as a year and a half can enjoy listening to the Toniebox as well.
What is the purpose of a Toniebox?
A Toniebox is designed to spark children's imaginations without the need for a screen, offering access to hundreds of stories to keep your child entertained. With a wide range of characters to choose from, your child will always find something new and exciting.
Are Toniebox and Tonies Worth The Cost?
Rhiannon Evans, mum of two, gives her honest verdict:
The Toniebox is an incredibly robust music and story box, which means it will endure being thrown around the room by two excited toddlers - always a plus. The square Toniebox is an audio player which is easy for even the littlest hands to operate, and you can buy Tonies (AKA which really cute characters) that the child then places on top of the Toniebox to start playing that particular story. There are up to 200 Tonies to choose from, so suffice to say you're spoiled for choice.
There are nursery faves (songs and stories), Disney hits (which both tell stories and play songs), classic storytime tales, educational titles and more.
Can you create your own Tonie?
Absolutely! The creative Tonies let you record 90 minutes of personal content, adding a special touch to gifts like Christmas presents. Imagine having Nana read a book every night... okay, grab a tissue!

Which Is Better: Tonie or Yoto?
This topic is frequently debated in parenting forums. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. Although they are often compared, Tonie and Yoto serve different functions, and it's rare to own both. The Yoto offers more features, but we found the simplicity of the Toniebox ideal for younger children to use and understand. Additionally, Tonies have introduced a podcast, Tonie, which aligns more closely with some of Yoto's features. Looking to shop Yoto player deals? They're on offer for Prime Day, too.
