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

Mine wasn't foam. It is a very thin rubber or plastic and looks like a basketball. However, my daughter's dog picked it up in her mouth and easily punctured it, but my grandson started using one of the dog's sturdier hard plastic balls, and it worked fine!

There's a piece of metallic tape that covers the sealing bar. It looks like packaging material, so it's very tempting to remove it. It needs to remain in place

I don't think you're supposed to let them chew on it. You just brush their teeth with it and put it away. If they inadvertently bite down on it, I don't think that should be any issue.

Bars are metal. Not super thick but it does the trick for my sons beagle. His dog is not one to try to escape so he did not need a stronger crate. Bottom is plastic so beware if you have a chewer. So far we are very happy with quality.

Not at all! It's about the size of a yogurt container, and quite safe. My 15 month old still chews on his.

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

I don't have an answer for you, but I think I'm about to return mine. I've been using it for 6 weeks thinking the metal smell and taste would go away, now I feel very badly about feeding it to him tasting and smelling like metal. I think I will call Baby Brezza this week and ask if that is normal and harmful, it can't be good.

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

It is some really high density foam. I left my car on there overnight and it made a tiny indentation, but it went away after a while. Beware, you need a jackstand that can get your car really high up to get it on top of these cribs!

Best way I've heard of to get rid of a pacifier is to cut a tiny hole in it so it deflates, then snip a tiny bit off every couple of days when the kid's not looking. They'll stop when it's too much work to hold it in their mouths.

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's really hard, rigid industrial plastic. My pit bull scrapes it up with his teeth but that's all he can do to it. I also take it away when his chin gets scuffed a bit. Expect a little blood and a happy happy dog. If my kids come home filthy with scuffed knees, I know they've had fun - same with the dog!

Kind of rubber and hard plastic. I bought it for my dog to chew on. Its kind of that really hard plasticized rubber. I don't know if that helps.

It's got a plastic exterior, but it's ready to go- foam or whatnot is inside already. I'd fill with sand though rather than water- much less risk if you've got rowdy kids, and attacking this thing often gets outta hand :)

Plastic coating on the mattress. We used a mattress pad too. Seems to be comfy for our baby.
