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.

It would probably be able to withstand for a few weeks. We have a 1.5 year old 35 lb pit that gnaws on everything. She destroyed this and got to the red within 2 months. She chewed on it every day of the week for 4-5 hrs a day too.

It is a flexible plastic (think like a floppy plastic 3 ring binder), not likely to tear but if pulled hard, it might weaken in some areas.I think it could withstand use by a child of that age.

Holding it and pulling should hold up, chewing maybe not depending on how much force, it's not very wide and a little chewing might be enough to go right through it.

sorry cant help much, just opened it a week ago. But I would imagine like any other resin toy. Keep it out of the elements and rinse it down after each use. My thoughts are the tube in the center might start to catch some mildew, but the child could never reach to that part since it is screwed together and a cap is on top preventing it.

Not unless your 0-6mo old baby can bite/rip open a stuffed animal. My son loves his and it seems to hold up very well in wash and through constant use by him!

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!

The yellow cap could be chewed up. I corrected puppy when he first tried. (That is where the kibble is stored so it made perfect sense for him to try it). Mine wasn't interested in chewing at the cap once he found out there was another way to get the food. The body is too large for chewing on (I have only seen the large size so far. It is surprisingly large.) and it is very sturdy thick plastic I bought mine from here with the Starmark brand name, but it looks like Leerburg is selling the exact same line of toys so I assume they are supplied from the same manufacture.

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!

Unless you're going to go full wolverine on it, yes, I think it would. It is pretty solid. I bit it a few times before giving it to my son and it is pretty tough. So, for a chewing habit (like pen caps and pencils) I think it would be great. And it doesn't look bad, either. :)

I would think that it could be made to fit a 6 year old as you can stretch, trim, and glue to fit. I do not believe something as large as horns could be glued to the bald cap. The material is very thin and would probably tear.

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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!
