The purchase of a high chair is an important milestone for families. It should not only be safe and comfortable for the child but also integrate seamlessly into daily life. The Hauck brand offers various models tailored to different needs—from durable wooden chairs to flexible, foldable versions. This guide introduces a selection of Hauck high chairs and explains their key features to help you make an informed decision.
To find the right model, some fundamental criteria should be considered. The decision often depends on your living situation, the child's age, and the intended period of use.
A grow-along high chair made of wood, often called a wooden staircase high chair, is designed for long-term use. The seat and foot plates are typically adjustable and adapt to your child's size over many years. Such models are robust and can even be used as a chair for older children or adults later on.
In contrast, a foldable high chair offers maximum flexibility. It can be quickly and compactly stored away when not in use. This is a key advantage, especially in smaller apartments or for transporting it to the grandparents' house. These models are usually lighter but often have a lower maximum weight capacity and shorter lifespan than wooden chairs.
Many parents want to have their baby at the family table right from the start. A high chair suitable from birth makes this possible. For this purpose, there are special high chair sets that include a newborn attachment. This bouncer is mounted on the frame instead of the regular seat and provides a safe, reclining position for infants. This way, the child is included at eye level long before they can sit up independently.
Regardless of the model, safety aspects are of paramount importance. A 5-point harness system is standard to keep the child securely in the seat. A high level of tip-resistance, ensured by a sturdy construction, is also essential. Many models also offer a high chair with a tray, which is removable and easy to clean. This encourages the child's independence during their first attempts at self-feeding.
Based on the criteria mentioned, we have compiled a selection of Hauck high chairs that meet different requirements.

A baby should only be placed in a standard high chair seat once they can sit upright independently and without support. This is typically between the 6th and 8th month. For use from birth, there are special sets like the Hauck Alpha Plus with Newborn Attachment, where the baby is safely positioned in a reclining bouncer.
The Hauck Alpha Plus is designed as a grow-along chair. Thanks to its robust construction from beechwood and a maximum load capacity of 90 kg, it can theoretically be used for a lifetime—first as a child's high chair, and later as a regular chair for children, teenagers, and adults at a desk or dining table.
A high chair with a tray is particularly practical when the child begins to eat independently. It provides a separate, easy-to-clean surface. However, models like the Hauck Alpha Plus are designed to be pushed directly to the dining table so the child can participate in shared meals. A separate tray is often available as an accessory and can be added as needed. The Hauck Sit N Fold already comes with an integrated tray.
