Here’s something you won’t have qualms letting your six year-old handle: the kid-friendly portable music player from Maxfield.
Special child-friendly features include an audio output restriction to a maximum of 60DB from the main player to protect those growing ear-drums and tough external stereo headphones by Koss are designed not to interfere with developing ears and come with a whopping 15 year guarantee.
Finally, the unit promises a seriously rugged dirt, water and impact resistant outer casing complete with safety screws for access, to prevent little fingers dismantling the unit without a parent present.
I don’t know about “preventing little fingers dismantling the unit,” though. I distinctly remember opening up gadgets with my handy screwdriver when i was eight!

2Hmm … But aren’t shuffles prone to breaking in half, say, when your kid sits on the player or steps on it?
