What is the recommended age range for the Hauck Alpha+ highchair?

The Hauck Alpha+ is suitable for children from 6 months of age. With the separate Hauck Alpha Bouncer, it can be used from birth.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the Alpha+ highchair?

This highchair is designed to be highly durable and can support a maximum weight of 90 kg, allowing it to be used well into adulthood.

Is the wood used in the highchair sustainably sourced?

Yes, the Hauck Alpha+ is made from European beech wood derived from sustainably managed European cultivations, ensuring ecological responsibility.

Are the safety harness and bumper bar included with the highchair?

Yes, the 5-point safety harness, crotch strap, and the protective front bumper bar are all included with your purchase of the Alpha+ highchair.

Can I use the Alpha+ highchair at a standard dining table?

Yes, the adjustable design and removable front bracket allow the Alpha+ to be positioned directly at most standard dining tables, enabling your child to eat with the family.

Is self-assembly required for the Hauck Alpha+ highchair?

How do I clean the wooden surfaces of the highchair?

Troubleshooting

Highchair feels wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all screws and bolts are properly tightened according to the assembly instructions. Check that the floor gliders are evenly placed on the floor surface. If still wobbly, disassemble and reassemble carefully, verifying each connection.

Child appears uncomfortable or unsupported.

Adjust the height and depth of both the seat and the foot plate to better fit your child's current size. Ensure their feet are resting comfortably on the foot plate. Consider purchasing an optional seat cushion for added comfort and support.

The 5-point harness or crotch strap is difficult to adjust or secure.

Ensure the harness straps are threaded correctly through the buckles and adjustment points. The 5-point harness can be adjusted via a Velcro fastening on the back of the seat to match your child's size. Check for any twists in the straps and ensure they click securely into the buckle.

Front bracket doesn't fit correctly or is hard to remove.

Verify that the highchair is assembled correctly and that the bracket is being inserted or removed according to the instructions. Sometimes, a slight wiggle or gentle pressure might be needed. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the attachment points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Longevity: Can be used from infancy through adulthood (up to 90 kg), making it a truly long-term investment.
  • Highly Adjustable: Seat and foot plate are easily adjustable in both height and depth to perfectly match your child's growth stage.
  • Robust Safety Features: Comes with a 5-point harness, crotch strap, and bumper bar, ensuring high safety standards.
  • Eco-Friendly Construction: Made from sustainably sourced European beech wood.
  • Versatile Use: Can be converted for use from birth with the Alpha Bouncer (sold separately) and allows children to sit at adult dining tables or desks.
  • Awarded Quality: Achieved a "GUT" rating from Öko-Test for its quality and safety.

Cons

  • Self-Assembly Required: Users will need to assemble the highchair themselves.
  • Accessories Sold Separately: Key accessories like the Alpha Bouncer, trays, and seat cushions are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Initial Use Age: Without the Alpha Bouncer, the highchair is suitable from 6 months, not from birth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the included assembly instructions.
  2. Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step graphical instructions to connect the main wooden frame elements. Ensure all screws are tightened securely using the provided tools.
  3. Install Seat and Foot Plate: Slide the seat and foot plate into the desired slots. Adjust their height and depth to suit your child's current size. For a 6-month-old, the seat should be high enough for them to reach the table comfortably, and the footplate should allow their feet to rest flat.
  4. Attach Safety Features: Securely attach the 5-point harness, crotch strap, and protective front bracket. The harness features a Velcro fastening on the back for adjustment to your child's size.
  5. Final Check: Before first use, double-check all connections and adjustments to ensure the highchair is stable and safe.

Compatibility

  • Hauck Alpha Bouncer: Converts the Alpha+ into a newborn-friendly seat, allowing use from birth. Sold separately.
  • Hauck Alpha Tray: A removable food tray that clips onto the front bracket, ideal for independent feeding. Sold separately.
  • Seat Cushions/Pads: Various seat inserts and cushions are available from Hauck to add extra comfort and support. Sold separately.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn messes, use a mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the wood finish.
  • Harness Care: The fabric harness can typically be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle. Refer to the specific care labels on the harness for detailed instructions.
  • Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the wood or safety components and replace parts if needed.
