Awards

The Hauck Sit N Relax 3 in 1 Highchair won Silver in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for Best Highxhair, and given the high quality, it's easy to see why. Read on below to find out what our testers thought of the product!

Testing the Hauck Sit N Relax 3 in 1 Highchair

"I would highly recommend the Sit N Relax 3 in 1 to any fellow mum," stated one tester. "If you're an organised person, buying early, the combination of the bouncer from birth and highchair will work perfectly for you."

This tester praised that the highchair is so easy to put together, being especially happy that the height settings are very versatile and it is comfortable in both modes. The chair itself comes with seven different height settings, allowing you to adjust the highchair seat or bouncer to match the sofa or table, depending on your home environment. "I love the huge basket that comes attached underneath, which you can use to tidy away all sorts of baby stuff," they said. They also found that the highchair table is a great size, with a deep lip around the outside, meaning it was highly useful for containing spills and containing toys when playing. They praised the safety features too, saying "I love the 5 point harness - let's be honest, all highchairs need this because all parents have experienced a child doing a Houdini act!"

Our testers found that as this is a 3 in 1 product, the ease of transition as your baby grows is great. A tester highlighted that both the highchair and rocker are great quality in terms of comfort, as the materials used are lovely and soft. They also found that the building process was straight forward once you knew what you were doing. "The tray table for the highchair is a great size for all plate/bowl sizes," they said, adding that there is "plenty of space for a cup too". They didn't have any issues with placing or removing the tray table either.

Another satisfied parent found the cleaning particularly easy, stating that you can just remove and rinse the tray. "I'd recommend the Sit N Relax to new born parents in particular because the adjustable height bouncer attachment is a great way to involve baby at mealtimes when really small," they said, continuing to say that you should "make sure you buy from early on in order to make the most of its 3 in 1 features". They also found it useful to be able to elevate their baby in the kitchen in general, so you can do tasks without them just being sat on the floor and so they can see you and what you’re doing. They found that it looks comfy, and really apprecitated the extra layer of removable tray table, stating that it was great for older weaning babies. Another high point was that for storage, it folds up nicely and is not too heavy.

"It makes me feel safe and confident that my baby's development has been supported while I can feed them safely," going on to say "it folds away small enough to be stored discreetly". They loved that it is easy to clean, making it very hygienic. "It was easy to build and just as easily put away then back up again," they said, as well as stating that they "love that it has lots of different features, especially the different seating options".

"Preparing meals with a baby at eye level rather than on the floor is so handy when they’re experiencing separation anxiety or just feeling left out," said another satisfied parent. "I don’t need to bend down or worry about my dogs approaching the baby and I can get on with more tasks with the baby in the seat. It’s easy to use and we have recently switched to the highchair for weaning purposes and it works just as well and seems very comfy for my little one."

Final thoughts

The Hauck Sit N Relax 3‑in‑1 Highchair impressed our testers as a versatile investment that truly grows with your child, from newborn bouncer to independent toddler seat. With its adjustable frame offering seven height settings and a reclining backrest, it adapts seamlessly to your lifestyle and home setup. Whether plugged into meal prep on the kitchen counter or used as a cosy bouncer, it supports both baby and parent ergonomically.

Despite a higher price tag compared to simpler alternatives, the built-in mobility, large storage basket, and thoughtfully designed tray with raised lip add real value. The fabric feels soft and comfortable, though it may require handwashing and isn’t quite as easy to maintain as wipe-clean models. But overall, this highchair earns its Silver award, with its longevity and adaptability making it a smart addition, especially if you're starting early in your little one’s journey. Its multi-functionality and strong build make it a durable, long-term solution that helps simplify both mealtimes and playtimes.
