The third generation Yoto Player is a networked audio player that promotes independent learning and playing. A unique feature is the use of physical cards to play content, allowing children to choose from a variety of stories, songs, radio stations and podcasts. The device is designed to be child-friendly, but not overly playful, making it attractive to older children as well. As it does not require a microphone or a camera, it is safe for users of all ages.
Statement by the Jury
The Yoto Player is an easy-to-use device that safely allows children to select content independently, thereby also boosting their self-confidence.
