Yoto Mini (4th Gen) vs Yoto Player (3rd Gen)

Both are screen-free Yoto players that use the same cards, so the choice comes down to portability versus a bigger home speaker. The Mini 4th Gen is the tougher, lighter, longer-lasting travel unit: IP67, drop-tested, 64GB and up to 16 hours. The Player 3rd Gen is the living-room machine: stereo sound, a room thermometer, an OK-to-Wake clock and a longer 24-hour battery. Owners rate the Mini slightly higher, but the Player's larger sample still sits at a solid 4.6.

• Choose the Yoto Mini if your child listens in the car, on walks or in bed and you want something small, rugged and water-resistant.
• Choose the Yoto Player if it mostly stays in one room and you want stereo sound, a night light and an OK-to-Wake clock.
