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.

I would say it depends on how many cats are using it as well, we have 9 cats and probably 1/2 of them use it. You can keep flipping it over to keep wear even on both sides, i'd say in 6 months ours starts to look a bit worn but still has plenty of life left in it. I'd say if you keep it clean and brush the cardboard off it you can keep it looking nice for a year and it will probably last a year beyond that. Basically they can keep clawing down through the cardboard layer by layer and it's well over 1 1/2 inches of cardboard.

It's in between toy and hobby, my 10 year old played with it and it stood up pretty good to abuse. But shell is made out of styrofoam, so not much to repair if that is damaged. It's fun for sure, and lots of online stores sell parts.

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.

Hm.. depends on head size. I'd say it will go as small as a size 6 head. it's not designed for toddlers though

FYI - the horses body is covered with a textured material, they aren't smooth plastic. It does wear off, so it's great for older kids, but not for ones who will put it in their mouth.

My son, 6 years old had his for a year cape didn't come off. The head did (well I think my son had something to do with that) we superglued it back on, it's fine no other problems.

It is a hard plastic. It will withstand chewing if that is a concern. Inside there is a silicon liner making it spill proof but also hard to suck at first. After it gets broken in its the best kids water bottle out there.

You can use it over and over. It is very durable and will give your children many hours of enjoyment unless they gouge it with something sharp and tear it up. Otherwise it will last a long time. You may need to buy replacement tools for it.

Both my son and myself are ASD and while we didn't chew on it, we were not gentle on it and has held up well. It is very thick on the corners.

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

It wouldn't be easy but if she is persistent yes she will eventually pull this apart. Just and FYI the gel in this hardened before it saw even a year of use. I wouldn't recommend it regardless of the chewing.

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

My son is 10yrs old and had it since March. So far it's still going strong. But it does look as if you gave intentional force that it would break. My opinion only.... Hope this helps�

I wouldn't, I bought it for our two yr old. It's nice and I didn't regret it but for a 6 mo you may want something softer and less structured.

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!

We had a tall camelback water battle that didn't last but 3 months because our 4 year old chewed roughly through it. Threw a $20-worth bottle in the trash because I was not going to replace a spout that was going to get chewed on again, hence, this has lasted over a year and have a second one now, too.
