The new Yoto Player 4th Gen and Yoto Mini 4th Gen bring shortcuts to personalised playlists, smoother routine support and a fresh new look to family life
Yoto is unveiling its biggest ever hardware update to its award-winning audio players for kids. The new Yoto Player 4th Gen and Yoto Mini 4th Gen bring a host of updates that build on everything families already love, with more storage, a faster processor and a brand new design.
- A new Green Button – giving kids instant, cardless access to their favourite audio and personalised playlists from their library once an adult sets up on the free App
- Smoother routines – further helping families build Yoto into their morning and bedtime rhythms
- A fresh new look – with redesigned hardware and a more robust, adventure-ready Yoto Mini
The Green Button gives kids a new way to jump straight into up to 20 of their favourite audio titles for day and night. Once set up in the Yoto App, kids can twist, press and play their favourite titles without having to insert a Yoto Card. Playlists can be created by adults on the Yoto App with their favourite titles and free content from their library. Then the audio is ready on the Yoto Player 4th Gen and Yoto Mini 4th Gen without always needing a Yoto Card to hand. And it’s not just for favourite physical cards - the Green Button can also be configured as a shortcut to digital-only cards and free bonus audio that is available on the App, from soundscapes to toothbrush timers.
As families’ Yoto libraries grew, so did the need for a quicker way for children to find their favourites. Listening to community feedback, Yoto designed the update around one simple idea: making best-loved content easier for kids to access independently, wherever they are – at home, at their grandparents’ house or further afield.
Families can get started with the Green Button right away, with a free 5 Minute Stories From Around the World digital Yoto Card included with the Yoto Player 4th Gen and a free Journey Jams digital card included with the Yoto Mini 4th Gen. The digital cards will be waiting for grownups in their Yoto App after set-up, ready to be added to the Green Button playlist. A free Make Your Own Card and stickers are also included in the box with both players which can be linked to the digital cards via the App or player.
Create a routine that’s as unique as your family with the Yoto Player 4th Gen. With the new Green Button you can create bespoke playlists for mornings and evenings. For mornings, a playlist could bring together the award-winning Yoto Daily podcast, a toothbrush timer or some fascinating facts from the BrainBots. At bedtime, families might choose lullabies, white noise, Yoto Sleep Radio or a soothing story.
The all-new night light panel on the Yoto Player 4th Gen can also provide bedtime and Ok-to-Wake cues for your child. Choose from seven colours to create a calming bedtime environment or signal when it's time to get up. Future free software updates will also introduce dynamic lighting that creates visual effects to complement what children are listening to.
A new processor, boosted memory, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 6.1 keep everything quick, connected and easy to use. Both the Yoto Player 4th Gen and Yoto Mini 4th Gen have also been upgraded to hold 64GB of storage – enough for up to 1,000 hours of audio.
Designed for adventures at home and away, the Yoto Mini 4th Gen is IP67 puddle-proof, with a splash- and dust-resistant design built to withstand the rough and tumble of everyday family life.
Every audio adventurer needs to be prepared, so Yoto’s accessories have also been given the 4th Gen treatment. The updated silicone Adventure Jackets keep the Yoto 4th Gen players snug and carry-ready, with four new vibrant colourways and an all-new wrist lanyard included with the Yoto Mini 4th Gen version. The refreshed Yoto Travel Case now fits both generations of Yoto Mini, with the same space for over-ear headphones and up to 30 Yoto Cards so kids are all set for adventure. Whether it's the back seat of a long car journey, a stay at the grandparents' or just out and about, everything children need is packed and ready to go.
We’ve always wanted Yoto to get better with time. We listen to families, we watch how kids use Yoto, and we ask ourselves what could make the experience more joyful, useful and independent. That's what led us to 4th Gen. We wanted kids to be able to get to the audio they love more easily, for Yoto to work even better around the rhythms of family life, and for the hardware itself to be faster, more reliable and tougher. We don’t want to change the core of what Yoto is – 4th Gen is about making the Yoto experience even better for families as the way they use it evolves.Ben Drury, CEO and co-founder
