My favourite kids' travel gadget is finally on sale just in time for summer holidays (aff)

After trying countless ways to keep my children entertained while travelling, there is one gadget I come back to every single time. The Yoto Mini has become an essential part of our family trips, and right now it's even better value thanks to the Yoto Summer Sale. Yoto is currently offering 20% off the Yoto Player, Yoto Mini, accessories and selected content, with even bigger savings available on bundles. If you've been considering buying one before the school holidays, now is probably the perfect time.

The product I recommend most often to fellow parents is the Yoto Mini (2024 Edition) £47.99. Small enough to slip into a backpack yet packed with stories, music, podcasts and educational content, it has completely transformed travel days for us. What I love most is that it gives children independence without handing over a tablet. My kids can choose their own stories and listen through the speaker or headphones, all without staring at a screen for hours. On long journeys, that makes a huge difference.

For families planning road trips, flights or staycations this summer, the Yoto Mini Travel Bundle £79.17 is particularly worth considering. It combines the Yoto Mini with travel-friendly accessories that make it even easier to take on the go. It is the bundle I would choose if I was buying for the first time before a big holiday. Another excellent option is the Yoto Mini + The Gruffalo and Friends Bundle £66.93. The Gruffalo remains one of those stories that children never seem to tire of, making this bundle an easy win for summer entertainment.

If you already own a Yoto Mini, now is also a great time to pick up some accessories. The Yoto Mini Travel Case has been reduced from £29.99 to £23.99 and offers extra protection when it's being packed into suitcases, backpacks and beach bags. Trust me, anything designed to survive family travel deserves a place on the packing list. The Wireless Headphones £27.99 are ideal for flights, train journeys and quieter moments when siblings want to listen to different things without disturbing each other.

As a parent, I am always looking for products that make travelling easier while reducing screen time. The Yoto Mini manages to do both. It keeps children entertained, encourages independent listening and storytelling, and gives adults a little more peace during those long summer journeys.
