Tonie or yoto mini or both?

I'm wondering which of these to buy for my son's Christmas presents and coming to the conclusion I should just get both? I've read and watched loads of reviews and the pros just seem like they both are worth it.

I'm thinking the Tonie for home/bed time and the yoto mini for travelling and car journeys. Is the yoto mini as good as the full size yoto?
Does anyone have both and have a favourite?

Thanks x

Depends on his age I'd say. My eldest is 8 now and still uses her yoto that she's had for years, my youngest is six and just starting to age out of his tonie and ask for a yoto. I think the yoto has more longevity and does the same and more as the tonie. Mine both love the 'yoto daily' podcast.

He's 2. I feel like he would love the Tonie but I would prefer the Yoto and makes more sense for travelling.

Yoto is fab and is usable from 2 all the way up you don't really need to spend loads on content. I would say no point in buying both, they are quite expensive and the content is not cross compatible. Just pick one system and stick with it.
Coincidentally I just ordered a second one for our 2 year old tonight so they can share/steal each others cards!

Also there's yoto mini as you mention which I have no idea about but it is apparently smaller and lighter for portability. We have the full size one which seems fine.i think the difference is battery life, stereo Vs mono, and obviously smaller

You'd be buying two of every story. The tonie characters are expensive.

Get the Yoto mini. It's a far better device. You could have the original Yoto for at home, but we use the mini at home and away. It has a fantastic speaker. I don't see the need for the bigger device at all.
