Will the cap hold up to a 6 year old chewing on it or will it end up deforming or getting all scratched and chewed up looking? Or would it split?

No, it would not hold up. The cap is soft and slightly pliable so it would get chewed up.

The plastic portion is very sturdy however a child could possibly tear the rubber spout off if gnawed on long enough, then you may have a chocking hazard. Don't mistaken this for a sippy cup.

I will say that the spout & cap are made of very think rubber. In my opinion, I don't think that even a dog could chew through it but don't really know.

14 months in, both 4 oz and 9 oz (with a 80% bottle fed baby) None have broken, one got chipped right on the lip (in a place that would have been covered by the cap, so no danger to baby.) Chipped while washing. When the cap and nipple are on, they are nearly impossible to break, because of the sleeves. Sleeves are not great for use in dishwasher, though.

The clear plastic cap over the nipple should fit tightly enough that you need to apply a little force to remove it. There is the yellow cap that goes on what would be the bottle end to keep it clean and sanitary on mine I never felt that yellow cap stayed on as well as it should. Unfortunately I only have one of these (didn't work for my baby) so I would say if the clear plastic cap is falling off it is likely damaged.

Not really. It will hold up for a bit but I wouldn't let a chewer have it unsupervised. The ball has a fabric and rubber covering that will last a long time though. My dog love is it, but we don't allow her to destroy her toys. That being said she does live to chew/teethe on the smaller rubber chuck-it balls. She hasn't destroyed a one yet.

My 3 year old takes it and has since she was able to chew a gummy. Just be cautious because they are chewy and could cause choking if not chewed well.

It didn't completely break so far, but it's very loose now, so most shapes do not hold well. I have three kids who pay with it pretty actively; taking that into consideration the durability is ok, but not great.

No it's hard plastic It might split in half though but it won't splinter. I would go with a large black kong ball if you are worried about it.

I have an 8 year old and one that just turned 2 but she is more like a kitten still. She really likes this but does not eat it politely. Generally drags it out of container and makes a mess with the peat. Course, I just clean it up with hand vac because both cats really love this. Try it out for your kitten and see. I do not think it will hurt it. I put it down and then pick it up each day. Give it a little rest. The little girl waits on the mat for it to appear again. LOL

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!

Not sure but its a hard rplsstic with a rubber type feel, the insert in cap is silicone, holds up well to toddlers.

Though it is some sort of plastic, but not hard that it is stiff and not soft that it is flexible. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, I would give it an 8. It is quite durable, but not too hard that a teething child would hurt himself with. My 6-year old enjoys it in the tub because it is not too hard for him to play with, though I think he would like it more if it were squishy, but that's another issue.

I gave it to my 1 and 1/2 year old grandson, it was a little old for him. I think it would be perfect for a six year old. It is large, the back tips up so things can be dumpted. Very sturdy. The back does keep coming off.

don't know, i don't have kids, but really depends on size of cap. looking at it, it appears to be small enough, you may have a problem with small fitted caps, you also have to look at the depth of the crown or height of the cap. it looks to be 3.5 to 4 inch in depth.

I haven't done either but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to cut it down to fit a 6 year olds head. Also didn't glue anything to it but as long as the snakes or horns aren't too heavy you should be able to glue them to it. Sorry I am not more help

I had the topper for a couple of weeks before I used it. As long as you don't remove it from the packaging I'm sure it would keep for quite a while. The key I'm sure is not to take it out or open the plastic. My son loved it. It really was a great looking picture.

I never noticed that. My son used it from 6 months. As he got older he started pulling on the corners and trying to chew on it some; maybe that is why they rate it for 3yrs+

I have never had an issue with the crown splitting. The crown is made out of hard plastic!
