What parents are saying
AI summary of customer 67 reviewsThe Tonie product received mixed reviews. Many customers reported their young children enjoyed the mix of songs and stories, particularly featuring Cars characters like Mater and Lightning McQueen. The songs were described as calming and suitable for bedtime. However, some felt the stories were too short, the character voices did not sound authentic, and the overall quality was poor. The product may appeal to some young children but may disappoint others.

Music is longer than the stories on this one.
byThere seems to be more music than story in this one too, much like the lightning McQueen one, but the story is better. I didn't hear whether there were one or two stories, as I was in and out of the room, but my grandson seemed to have enjoyed this one a lot more than the one with lightning McQueen. He's more likely to leave the room to do something else if there is music than a story, so having too much music before the story tends to lose his interest before we even get to the story and I kept having to call him back downstairs so that he could hear the story.

Very little 'Mater' about it.
bySongs are boring. No Mater voice in the single story it has. Worst Tonie we've owned.

Not engaging
byMy one year doesn't engage with this one much. It's not that upbeat.

Great realism
byBought this a month ago and my daughter has listened too it every night! So many songs that she recognized from the movies. Along with great short stories!

An old soul
byA mix of songs from the movie (a lot of older style songs) and then two short stories. It’s not my favorite as an adult, but my toddler really likes it!

A fave
byNot sure why this gets bad reviews, been a fave of our sons from the start. Lovely song choices and really enjoys the story

Eh.
byThe songs are not very appealing to little kids. The stories are okay. My kids just like having the Mater figure but other than that, this was not a good buy for us.

Great Tonie!
byAwesome songs and tall tales by Mater. The only thing I would change would be the dark yellow teeth and eyes.

Perfect Musical Toy
byMy grandson really enjoys the talking singing tonies! He takes one off and puts another one on. Music is a universal language - he loves it. Tactile, musical, and full of personality. Great toy for a 14 month old.

byThe mater truck is so cool looking with all the details . There are 2 slow songs that really relaxing that my twins absolutely love . It’s like old fashioned country slow music and it really creates a calming environment. They also love the movie Cars!
