At HABA, safety for our children is the #1 concern

In order to design and produce safe wooden toys HABA has had to make adjustments to the wood used in certain pieces; specifically clutching toys with sharp curves. We’ve learned with experience and testing that the heavily curved pieces are just too susceptible to breakage. As the clutching toy is used more and more and gets wetter (with more saliva) the probability increases. So in order to continue to make beautiful curved pieces HABA has developed a special material called HABAForm.

Design and quality “Made in Germany”

“What do your children‘s inventors actually do?” That’s a question we often get asked at HABA. The answer is simple - they think and tinker, design and discard, draw sketches and build models and they do all that with a good dose of creativity and a keen sense of what children need.

But they’re not alone; instead they’re in constant contact with construction and quality specialists - which materials are safe for children? How big do the balls have to be?

Every year, our German inventors develop around 500 new games and toys for children. While production has expanded to several countries, ALL of our wooden clutching toys (Color Pyramid Included) are Made in Germany.

Materials & Suppliers

• We use woods from sustainable forestry in Germany in the production of all of our wooden clutching toys.
• All paints are water-based and solvent-free. For decades, we have been working together with German supply partners to only use first-class stains, varnishes and print colors.
• Materials for toys that we don’t produce in Bad Rodach are checked and monitored in Germany in their unproces-sed form (e.g. paints in liquid form)

For baby toys we also check whether they fulfill the requirements of the GS mark. GS stands for “Geprüfte Sicherheit” or “tested safety” and means that the products are voluntarily and continually tested by the manufacturer.

HABA's Toys comply with all US and European Safety Standards for toys

HABA toys are tested for all applicable European and American safety standards by an accredited 3rd party testing institute. Independently we carry out the following tests:

• Submersion tests for testing the resistance of all individual parts with subsequent tensile test.
• Impact and fall tests
• Tests for flammability, saliva and sweat-proofness
• We also use special stencils to check whether small parts can be swallowed by children under three years, and we check the string lengths of pull-along animals etc.

Tests are good, but experience is better.

Things that are obvious in everyday life also stand true for toys. No test logos or regulations can replace a guardian‘s alertness! For example, please note the information on recommended ages: a safe toy for a child over three years can still be unsafe for a younger one.

Parents and children have treasured our toys as trusty companions for 70 years. We want them to always be able to trust HABA in the future too, so that’s why we’re always adapting our toys to meet the most up-to-date regulations and guidelines. We are also continually optimising technology and our production processes.
