Tonies.
Founded in 2013; original Toniebox launched in late 2016
Patric Faßbender and Marcus Stahl created Tonies around a screen-free approach to children's audio. The company dates to 2013, while the original Toniebox reached the market in late 2016. Audio figures called Tonies trigger stories or music when paired with the player. For a family choosing between audio systems, those figures are part of the cost as well as the appeal. Compare the exact player model and included characters, then check which stories the child will want next. Follow current model-specific age guidance and setup instructions; an older review may describe a different generation of the hardware.

Compare the complete starter bundle and likely follow-on figure costs, not the player price alone.
