The TRUE Solid Wood Purity

The hauck Alpha+ provides TRUE solid wood purity by utilizing European Beechwood sourced from FSC-certified forests. This premium material is naturally dense and non-toxic, offering a clean, chemical-free surface for your child's mealtime. Because it is crafted without the industrial stabilizers or synthetic resins found in common alternatives, it ensures that your baby's environment remains free from "chemicals that mess with your body's natural rhythm." It is a Smart Swap that prioritizes long-term structural integrity and biological safety through high-quality, sustainable craftsmanship.

A Healthy SHIFT Essential

Transitioning to a grow-along wooden chair is a Healthy SHIFT for your home’s environmental footprint and your child’s ergonomic health. For mothers, it is a Smart Swap for longevity; with a maximum load of 198 pounds, it transforms from an infant highchair into a stylish desk chair or dining seat for adults. For the child, the adjustable seat and footplate ensure a perfect, supported posture at every stage. Because it is built to last a lifetime, it offers the real value of a Lifetime Saving by replacing three or four different plastic seats as your child grows.

SWITCHING SAVINGS/COSTS

Investing in the hauck Alpha+ represents a Lifetime Saving of approximately $600.00 USD. The Manufacturer Lie is that a $50 plastic highchair is a "bargain." In reality, those chairs have a High Compounding Cost as they are discarded when the child outgrows them, leading you to buy booster seats and later child-sized desk chairs. The Alpha+ pays for itself by being the only seat your child will ever need at the table.

CHEMICALS AVOIDED

By choosing hauck, you are avoiding "Chemicals that mess with your body's natural rhythm." Plastic highchairs often use PVC trays and Polyurethane foam treated with halogenated flame retardants. These materials can off-gas and shed microplastics into your child's lap. This wooden chair is Chemical-Free, ensuring that your baby’s first bites are served in a clean, natural environment free from industrial toxicants.
