Would you recommend a Toniebox for a 2 year old?

I'd love to hear the pros and cons from anyone who has one. My little boy turns 2 soon and he loves books and Bluetooth speakers, haha - so I thought it might be the perfect gift.

I got one second hand (vinted) for my nephew who is 1 and he absolutely loves it! I so wish they had been around when my two were younger.

Yes definitely! And a Yoto when they get a bit older!

Yes! My daughter got one when she was 2 and it's used daily! She's 3.8 now so it's had plenty of use

Yes my 2 year old loves it. Make sure you have a play with the settings in the app. Being able to reduce the max volume remotely is brilliant.

Absolutely! My DS got one for his 1st birthday and it’s been on every night since. He’s coming up for 2 now and loves choosing a bedtime Tonie Smile

The Tonie characters are an easy present idea for other people to buy for them, and limits bulky, cluttery toys!

ETA definitely fiddle with the settings, and set it up as 3+ so you can charge it while it’s on. If you set it up as 1+, it can’t be charged while it’s playing!

My nearly 2 year old grandson loves his. He has the chunky First Tonie characters which come in sets of 3. He likes to play it in the background whilst he plays with other toys and also quite a gentle way to wind down towards bed time. I was sceptical at first but it's been a really good purchase which will last for years as there are many different characters and stories available. I wouldn't want it to replace reading stories and looking at picture books though.
