tonies is beloved for the screen-free audio experiences it provides, and the all-new Toniebox Lite delivers the listening experience kids and parents appreciate in a smaller, lighter, more accessibly priced form. This compact, lightweight device is compatible with every Tonie, and complements the brands' flagship Toniebox 2, which launched just last year.
Toniebox Lite is as intuitive as ever, and useful for connecting to over 3,500 digital titles, from global licensing partners to tonies Originals productions. Like the Toniebox 2, Toniebox Lite lets parents co-pilot their children's experience—control playback, set volume limits and more—via the tonies app. Portable and made to move, Toniebox Lite creates a multi-device audio ecosystem so that more families can engage with the audio content they love from more places.
