My child likes to take bites out of these foam protectors. Does anyone know of one that is more durable and can withstand bites from toddlers?

When my 10 month could stand and noticed them, he did try to bite them. They were fine, but that phase only last a week or two- he is now 15 months and ignores them, so I'm not sure how well they would handle an older child's wear and tear.

Any fabric teething covers should work, but if not try making one =) I am making one out of fleece for ours.

You can still see little drag marks where my daughter would bite the crib where the padding is, but the padding does protect against the paint chipping. The drag marks are very faint, so the padding is certainly deflecting some of the biting. I should note, though, my daughter is not a huge biter on the crib, so I am not sure what the result would be with a more persistent biter.

The lids are snap-on. They fit pretty tightly but I'm not sure they would stop your toddler from biting them off.

I have found that a lot of manufacturers state this, probably to protect themselves against liability. There aren't any small pieces that could break off that I recall and the animals are decent sized. If they are a concern for choking I would take them away until the child is older. We purchased this for our son for his 1st birthday and he loved it. It was great in helping him feel more comfortable walking. He's turning two and still plays with it. I will say that the sound stopped working a few months after the purchase though.

Unfortunately I have not found any covers other than the basic flip cover. We have just emphasized kids have to sit to play or they lose the privilege of playing with it!!

I have a 3 year old and 18 month old that have used these since they were 6 months old - starting to teethe. I have never had an issue. Frequently they do chew on the other end but never had a risk of choking. Just need to watch when they use it. I am always scared if they use it while walking they could trip and fall and get hurt so I only let them use it while sitting of strapped in car seat.

I can't provide an official answer from the manufacturer, but I use them with kids ages 2 and up. I use these in my private practice with kids of all ages and they like them. The kids are 100% supervised, so choking or biting off pieces is not an issue.

I used this for my toddler so headphones weren't really a concerned for me....more durability when she tossed it around the room! ;) For very young kids - I would recommend this product. She drops it all the time and it hasn't damaged the iPad whatsoever!

I think it depends on the age of the kids. For younger kids i would probably get something a little thicker and has protection for the screen. This case doesnt offer any screen protection at all.

The teeth will not pierce through the kevlar weave, but the child will still be able to apply pressure, leaving you with bruises. I've used these to work with a dog that will bite when I groom him. After I started using these, he wasn't able to get through the skin, and I was able to not react to his bites- which made him stop. Hopefully once your kid realizes that bites don't get the same reaction from you, he will stop biting.

Both my toddlers easily chewed this and my youngest is now 2, but obviously it depends on the child. I sometimes use to break one in half and give little pieces, but it crumbles easily in my opinion. You could easily crush as well as that is what a friend of mine does with her 3 year old and mixes with honey. Great product!

Honestly I have not had any issues with my child being cut or hurt at all. She has had it since 9 months old when she was cruzing and holding on to stuff to walk. I however have stubbed my toe on it several times. I guess if you wanted to be safe (I get it I was there too, baby proofing) maybe a thick tape from Home Depot, I know craft stores actually have foam tape. I guess it really depends on your comfort level, yeah I thought the edges were sharp but it really has not been an issue, very much like the toys you see in libraries and doctor offices.

NO. The Naturepedic website does NOT recommend this for infants, only toddlers. Infants do not need the type of cushy mattresses adults have become accustomed to. Naturepedic does, however, have two protector pads (one waterproof and one not) for infants.

No. Traditional bumper pads are not recommended for infants anymore. They are too dangerous, and run the risk of suffocation.

No. The blocks are a very dense foam. Our grandson loves playing with them and hasn't bitten them yet, but not sure they couldn't be bitten if he actually tried. I just don't think he has tried...yet.

The Takeya so far has been super durable. My 6 year old has used it for 6 months or longer--no problems! I think in large part the silicone sleeve is very protective and covers almost solidly. It has the window so you can see inside but that's it. I have not bought the other brand but that was in part having two friends have them and see them break. One was a fall from a stroller and one rolling out of a car. For me, that's everyday events. I'm happy I tried Takeya. I have larger sizes too and again no problems . Hope that helps a little .
