what is the front bar covered in? Just foam that can be chewed off? I have a teething baby that chews everything.

Yes but the bar is removable.... It's good quality foam patting not like on a bicycle handlebar

It seems to be made of a vinyl like plastic. I haven't had any issue with it but I don't leave my child in for that long , just for feeding times and occasional sitting and chilling

No use replacing the foam grips, they are too easy to rip, and if your child is young and prone to chew on things, they can be dangerous. I used a band aid roll to cover the handles and it outlived the toy itself.

It appears to be some kind of very solid foam. Both our boys have ridden ours a lot and the tires have held up with no problems. At ages 3 & 4, they can both ride a pedal bike with no training wheels!

There is a little padding but not much. It hasn't been an issue for us- our little guy is teething and tries to chew everything, this cover does the trick, plus we can attach toys for entertainment

I'd say both! While baby chews on it, it brushes their teeth! Our son loves it!

I believe it is some type of rubber. I think you can find out more on their website: http://www.innobaby.com/Teethin-Smart-ez-grip-Teether--Flower-Green_p_334.html

It helps with teething as well. I found it to be pretty much the same idea as the mesh bag just cleaner and safer. I added frozen berries and bananas and it seems to sooth his gums. He rubs it on his gums as well as is able to eat the fruits as it pressed through the holes.

The best thing to do is find some cheap athletic tape or duck tape works well too. I wore out most of my foam but I found this is a cheap great way to fix it.. Plus it makes the bar look like you have put I'm massive amounts of work on it! Haha

It's metal so much stronger, but if you have a dog that is chewing they can break teeth on it. Maybe make sure there are plenty of toys inside, and feed meals in crate to make the crate itself less appealing!

Dear Rosemary, in less than one day, the ear, antler, and one front leg were chewed off. Nyla bones, and Kong hard rubber toys are what works best for our growing puppy. To add excitement, put a small amount of creamy peanut butter on the chew toy and save your babies teeth if you can find them. Hugs, Ron

I mainly bought this as the rings are not plastic, i-e BPA free and soft on my baby's gums.. I got it also when my lilttle one was 6 months old, she likes to play with the rings and put them on her mouth. She also likes removing the rings but is not interested in putting them back, at least not now. She also likes to play with the rainbow thing on the top.. Great product

We have our Germany Shepherd puppy in it and she's teething and it has held up there isn't really any edges on the inside for a dog to get a hold on. I hope this is helpful

there is a pad on it but not foam... it is basically an air mattress, but that means it completely obliterates that metal bar. It worked well for us, but we put a memory foam mattress topper on top of it which made it very comfy, though super deep, so needed new sheets. It seemed to have a slow leak over time, but the blow up thingy is easy to use and fixes that in a jiffy. Mother in law loved it.

Safety issue? yes very safe my child never chocked or touched it in anyway that made it hurt her.Effectiveness can't quiet answer this question since I bought it after most of her teeth were out. I hope that helped.

It's a hard thick plastic where the grate pieces fit into the tray. I imagine a dog who is a real chewer could tear it up but I don't think it would be easy. If you're interested in a pee pad approach, this is the most indestructable one we've found. Good luck

use a soapy cloth and do not sterolize. i went through a couple of vulli teethers from sterolizing. the squeaker won't work afterwards.
