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.

Nope! The top stays on pretty tight. Also, the green part that attaches to the plastic squeeze tube turns to the left to tighten, so when a child takes the orange cap off (which you loosen to the left), they don't also take the green part off (if that makes any sense). We've had ours for about 6 mos. Don't use it every day, but it's held up nicely.

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.

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�

It has a removable cap- and a very sturdy one! As long as you don't bite it, that is aha :D

It is not a "soft" chew, but it breaks apart VERY easily. My 12 year old puppy can easily chew it and my 8 year old puppy pretty much swallows it whole :o).

Our has withstood hours of pretend kitchen and tea party play and our 3 yr old is not gentle! I think it will hold well without scratching. We have had for a year and has no scratches yet.

A 6 year old would probably be at the tail-end of playing with this set. I think their imagination would be going forward to something more interactive for that age. Would probably play with it at first out of curiosity, but don't see it lasting long as approaching 6 1/2 or 7.

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.

My experience with this dome, it works very well for me have used it for 2 seasons . Not a hard plastic but a some what flexable plastic , if you push on it with a finger it will give a bit but retains it's shape . I could see if a person was too rough with it , it could damage the dome , with my dome I haven't had any durability issues .

It does reflect my image when I look at it, however the image is not crystal clear!! I think it will scratch easily, but no great harm done by it. I think it would be perfect for a toddler and it would make eating a fun thing to do.

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

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+

Eventually it will wear down - it's not invincible. But they do last for months... especially if you get a really large one.

The bad thing about older kiddos is that once they find out how to remove it, they will. The product itself is really thick so I wouldn't think that they could chew through it, but I guess it is always a possibility.

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 states 3+ yrs old ... i purchased this last year for my (then) 4 & 2 yr old ... i guess it depends if your lil one likes to put things in his/ her mouth. The topping pieces are about the size of a quarter. I did not worry about my 2 yr old.
