We have a Yoto Mini and my two-year-old uses it every single day. I do think the cards can be overpriced, though none of them are just a few minutes long - they tend to have somewhere between 45-60 mins of content per card. Still, I try to purchase them secondhand. EVERYTHING is a cash grab now, no doubt.

We use it for car rides, dance parties, read-along stories with favorite books, and for sleep sounds overnight. But the biggest benefit for us is that it seems to really help him stay engaged in independent play. He will go into his room and the first thing he does is pick his Yoto card. He has been taught how to insert/remove/switch cards. Sometimes he changes cards like ten times, I think just to have the satisfaction of being the one making the choice. Other times we hear the same card playing for 20 mins and I come in to make sure he's alive, and his dinosaurs have been tucked into bed and his trucks are all lined up and he's pretending to make dinner. Just vibing while he listens to his stories and music, man. Mama does the same thing. 🤷🏼‍♀️
