hauck Beta+ Dark Grey: Wooden High Chair Set for 6 Months to 90 kg
Product description
Overview
The hauck Beta+ is a complete wooden high chair designed to support a child from around 6 months up to 90 kg. Constructed from FSC-certified beechwood, it’s built to adapt as your youngster grows, with an adjustable seat plate and footrest to help maintain a comfortable, ergonomic position at every stage.
Build quality and safety
On the paper, the Beta+ combines solid timber with practical fittings. It carries TÜV + EN 14988-1-2 testing assurance, which relates to chair safety for use around meals. The frame is designed for durability, and the integrated 5-point harness plus crotch strap focus on keeping a child secure during feeding and active moments.
Comfort and practicality
The chair includes a two-piece seat cushion that pads the backrest and seat plate for added comfort. Wheels are part of the design, which makes moving the chair around the dining space easier and more controlled rather than sliding on the floor. The large wooden tray provides a generous surface for self-feeding or meal times when used with the bumper bar at a suitable height.
Tray and accessories
The Beta+ ships with a wooden tray and bumper bar, and the tray can be used to create a defined eating zone for a toddler. If you prefer, you can slide the chair under the table with the bumper bar at 70 cm, which can help with table access for smaller meals and easy supervision.
Growth, adaptability and longevity
Rated to 90 kg, this is positioned as a long-term seating solution within a kitchen or dining area. The seat plate and footrest adjust as the child grows, aiming to keep posture and support appropriate over time, reducing the need to upgrade frequently.
Usage scenarios and limitations
This chair works well for daily mealtimes and can be integrated into play routines with additional hauck accessories like a play tray or newborn seats when used appropriately. It’s not a sofa substitute or a highchair replacement for newborns unless paired with compatible options. A practical caveat: ongoing use at the upper weight limit should be monitored, as gradual wear and fit around the harness may affect long-term comfort.
What to check before buying
- Confirm your table height and room layout to ensure the 70 cm table‑to‑tray option fits with your sitting posture.
- Check that the adjustable seat plate and footrest align with your child’s height for a natural seating position.
- Consider floor type and whether the wheels have appropriate locking to prevent unintended movement.
Who it’s for
This is suited to families seeking a durable, mid-to-long-term wooden high chair with mobility and straightforward maintenance. It may appeal to households that value FSC-certified timber and a chair that can stay with the child through several growth phases.
How it compares with simpler options
If you prioritise a fixed high chair with fewer moving parts, a non-wheeled model might feel simpler to use but less flexible in a busy kitchen. The Beta+ targets households looking for a robust, adaptable solution that can evolve with the child, rather than a short-term purchase.
FAQ (practical answers)
- Is the chair safe for newborns? It can be used with compatible newborn seating configurations, but the base high chair is designed from 6 months upward.
- How easy is it to clean? The cushion and tray are designed for routine cleaning, with removable components to simplify tidying.
- Can it be used at a dining table with a booster? The bumper bar at 70 cm and the large tray offer flexible options, confirm fit with your table setup.
Is it worth it?
This is a solid pick if you want a long-lasting wooden high chair that grows with your child and includes essential safety features, padded comfort, and mobility. It may not be the best choice if you’re after a low-cost, ultra-simple chair or if your space requires a non-wheeled design for stability. If you prioritise timber sustainability, adjustability, and a chair that can transition through different meal setups, the Beta+ offers sensible value for money.
