Our Chewy Categories
Our chewy test protocol is designed to group our chewies into three categories: for light chewers, for moderate chewers and for moderate plus chewers.
Though no chewy is indestructible, these categories can be helpful when choosing a chewy. Make sure the chewy you choose is appropriate for your child’s development and needs. Please follow our safety recommendations for chewies. Chewies should always be used with adult supervision and chewies should be regularly inspected for signs of wear and tear.
