Arriving in Paris with a baby or young child and wondering how to reach your hotel safely? It is one of the questions we hear most. Here is what to know before booking a Paris driver with a baby seat.
What do French rules say?
The French highway code requires children under 10 to travel in an approved restraint suited to their height and weight. The rule applies to private-hire chauffeur cars.
In practice, even a simple airport-to-city ride needs planning: either travel with your own car seat or book a vehicle that is already equipped.
Child seat or booster: which should you ask for?
It depends on the child's weight. Parisluxurydrive offers two options at booking:
- Child seat: for little ones from 0 to 18 kg, roughly birth to 4 years.
- Booster seat: for children from 15 to 36 kg, roughly 4 to 10 years.
How to book a Paris driver with a baby seat
When booking online, select the child seat or booster at the extras step and add your child's age in the comments. The seat is fitted before the chauffeur arrives.
For a Paris airport transfer with a baby seat, give your flight number: your chauffeur tracks the landing time and waits in the arrivals hall.
Tips for calm family travel
- Book ahead, especially during school holidays.
- Choose a van if you travel with a stroller and several suitcases.
- Tell us the exact number of children so every seat is ready.
