Toniebox alternative: conclusion
The Toniebox is currently the best-known jukebox with figures – it can be operated very easily by children from the age of three and above all in a playful way. However, since each of the cute radio play characters can cost up to 15 euros, a cheaper Toniebox alternative with a memory card or cheaper media may be the better solution.
