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.

my son used it mostly from 6 months to a year. He still plays with it some but doesn't chew on it as much anymore however he started teething a bit early than most. I am planning on doing a baby review for it on my blog. you can find it on my profile if you are interested but the review won't be up for a few days. kathryn!

I first bought this for my 18 month old and after the second week she had already broke both sippy tops. Surprisingly, the bottle itself did not break. I have since ordered a new set of sippy tops and we just make it a rule not to leave her with the bottle. None of the tops have broke since. If you buy it for your little person do not leave it in their possession. Hope this helps.

I feel it would work fine for the 4 year old. We bought it for our 3 year old granddaughter. As for the 6 year old, probably would depend on the size of the child and "how much" pillow do they want. It would work great for a travel pillow like the ad says if the 6 year old doesn't like it. Ours loves it and even her little head sure doesn't take up much of this smaller pillow even so now that I say that, the 6 year old should like it too!

The head is very tight but if it is throw and hits something, like a wall, it would hold together but maybe damaged. I really love mine and i'm glad I bought it but it is not meant to be throw or used as a toy for young children.

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.

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 have found it to be durable so far. We have had it for about 6 months and my toddler has been jumping/sitting in it and have shown no signs of wearing. Besides needing to fluff it up every couple of days we really like it.

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.

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.

I bought this for a gift and have it wrapped so I can't read the box but I would think they put that age on it because if a child were to bite it it may burst. Although the plastic casing seems very sturdy. It is small so you may want to look at the measurements closely. I hope this helps..

It dents. The lid is fairly thin. My cats haven't jumped on it yet but they could easily scratch it. I don't think the weight of the cat can dent it but if something falls on it, it will dent. We do have a small dent on ours. my recommendation is the black plastic lid. It's much sturdier and thicker.

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

That's a good question. Our grandson hasn't tried biting the pouch. He has chewed on the spout some when he was teething. It lost its circular shape but that didn't matter since we never have to use the caps anyway because he has finished the contents.

No. I have a 4 & 6 year olds who have abided it for as long as we have it and no breakage.

Yes, it won't be as protected, but it's just a cap. It doesn't hold anything together.

Jessica, it'll last more than a year. The stick is about 6" long and is in a cardboard cylinder. What I do for my son is cut it in half and find a pill bottle cap that fits snuggly on it to keep it from drying out. It also keeps the stick from picking up dirt and grass that will stick to it. Also, it keeps it from spreading onto things you don't want sticky. When you cut it in half one of the pieces will be open on both ends, so, I use athletic tape to seal up one end. Now that you have 2 shorter pieces, it's easier to handle and breaks less frequently. Hope this helps.
