Travelling through Paris with a baby or small child changes one decision above all: how you leave the airport. Taxis do not carry child seats, ride-hailing cars rarely do, and the RER means stairs and crowds with a stroller. A private transfer is the one option where the right seat is installed before the car reaches you — and at Paris Drivip it costs nothing extra.
What the French rules mean for you
French law requires children under 10 to travel in an approved restraint appropriate to their size — a rear-facing baby seat, a forward-facing child seat or a booster. In practice, taxis are exempt from providing one, which leaves parents holding a baby on their lap at motorway speed. That is the gap a pre-booked transfer closes.
When you book with Paris Drivip, you tell us each child's age and we fit the matching seat before pick-up: rear-facing infant carrier, child seat with harness, or booster.
Which seat for which age
As a guide when booking:
- 0–12 months (up to ~13 kg): rear-facing baby carrier
- 1–4 years (~9–18 kg): forward-facing child seat with harness
- 4–10 years (~15–36 kg): booster seat with the car's seat belt
- Two children? We can combine seat types in the same vehicle — just list both ages
Sedan or van with children
One child, two adults and moderate luggage fit a sedan comfortably. From two children with seats, a stroller and real holiday luggage, the van stops being a luxury and becomes the sensible choice: up to 7 passengers and 6–7 large suitcases, with the stroller folded in the boot or laid flat inside.
The airport fixed rates apply either way — €80 sedan / €130 van between CDG or Orly and Paris, €100 / €140 to Disneyland Paris.
The stroller question
Bring it. A stroller is close to essential in Paris, and it travels free in our vehicles. Foldable models go in the boot; in a van, most strollers fit without folding if the luggage load allows.
At the airport you keep the stroller until the aircraft door on most airlines, and it is returned at the belt or the gate on arrival — your driver waits either way, with 60 minutes of free waiting after landing.
How to book the right setup
Three things to enter at booking: the number of passengers, the luggage count, and each child's age. That is everything the chauffeur needs — the correct seats are installed before the car leaves for the airport, and the price does not change.
If anything is unclear — twins, an infant plus a toddler, an unusual amount of luggage — a WhatsApp message before booking settles it in one exchange.

Are child seats really free?
Yes. Baby seats, child seats and boosters are provided and installed free of charge — just give the children's ages when booking.
Can I request two child seats in one car?
Yes, we can combine seat types (e.g. a baby carrier plus a booster) in the same vehicle. The van is usually the most comfortable choice with two seats.
Do Paris taxis have child seats?
Almost never. Taxis are legally exempt from providing them, so children would travel unrestrained. A pre-booked transfer is the reliable alternative.
Does my stroller travel free?
Yes — folded in the boot or laid flat in the van, at no extra cost.
How much is a family transfer from CDG to Paris?
€80 in a sedan (up to 3 passengers) or €130 in a van (up to 7 passengers), fixed price, child seats and flight tracking included.
