Toniebox vs Toniebox 2: See what’s new

So whether you’re a tonies® fan looking to upgrade, or a newcomer ready to join the crew, here’s what’s new…

Tonie compatibility 

If you already own a collection of Tonies, you’ll be pleased to hear that every Tonie works on both Toniebox 1 and Toniebox 2, phew! For the Tonie fans out there – you’ll know we release new characters every month. And each one will continue to work on both versions. So your collection (past, present and future) is safe.

The only difference? Tonieplay, the big new innovation, is exclusive to Toniebox 2. So let’s learn more about it…

The big innovation: Tonieplay 

Toniebox 2 doesn’t just play stories and songs – it plays along with your kiddies. Tonieplay turns their Toniebox 2 into a world of screen-free gaming, unlocking interactive treasure-hunt style quests, brain-busting trivia games and interactive stories where kids lead the way using the Tonieplay Controller. And it’s fun for the whole family! Players can join forces with friends and family to be the ultimate champions or challenge themselves in solo play.

The dynamic light ring

The new Light Ring does more than just look good. It lights up in response to what’s happening in a Tonie’s song or story, and guides you and your listeners through key moments like:

• Connecting to Wi-Fi

• Adjusting the ears for volume

• Powering down

• Exploring the world of Tonieplay

Smarter bedtimes, brighter mornings

Toniebox 2 helps smooth the sometimes trickiest parts of the day and support better sleep habits…

• Sleep timer with light: Drifts little ones off to sleep with bedtime mode and a gentle glow.

• Sunrise alarm: Eases them into the morning with a gradual sunrise light and cheerful wake-up tunes of their choice.

• Co-pilot with the new app: Parents can adjust it all from the app – meaning no sneaking into bedrooms required.

Now built for little and older listeners

The Toniebox 2 is designed for ages 1–9+ and beyond. It’s robust, squishy and totally tumble-proof. Rounded corners, intuitive controls and an even more squeezable texture mean kids can listen, learn and play independently from the very start.

New features parents will love

• Co-pilot with the new app: Pause, play or skip tracks, set alarms, check battery level and adjust settings from your phone.

• More memory & longer play: With 32GB storage and up to 10 hours of listening, there’s room for more stories and fewer charging breaks.

• New charger: Say goodbye to the charging dock, the Toniebox 2 can be charged with USB-C for ease and portability.

• No screens, no ads: Just safe, independent playtime.

Looks as good as it sounds

The Toniebox 2 has a modernised design with new rounded corners and fresh colour choices, including soft pastel tones and a striking teal that’s already a fan favourite.

And now you can make it truly your own with custom sleeves – from bold patterns to character designs like PAW Patrol and Disney Princesses.
