Airport transfers with free child car seats
Most parents flying to Paris ask the same thing before they pack. Do we need to bring the car seat? Not for the ride from the airport. Send us the children’s ages, and a baby carrier, a child seat or a booster is fitted in the car before we collect you, at no charge. Your driver keeps an eye on the flight, is there in the arrivals hall when you come through, and takes the whole family straight to the door, with the pushchair and the cases in the boot.

Family transfers with child seats
From Orly, Charles de Gaulle or Beauvais to your hotel, your flat or Disneyland Paris, and back again for the flight home. Seats for newborns, toddlers and older children are free, the price is set the moment you reserve, and the driver who collects you has been chosen for careful, gentle driving.
🚖 Flying into Paris with young children
A car seat is a strange thing to travel with. Unless your airline lets it into the cabin, it travels in the hold with the suitcases, and once you land it has to be carried through the terminal along with the bags, the pushchair and a tired child. Many parents leave it at home and hope a taxi will have one. Others bring it all the way from Manchester or Chicago and never use it again until the flight back.
We take that question off your list. Before your trip, you tell us the age of each child. On the day, the right seat is already fitted in the back of the car, whether it is a rear-facing carrier for a baby a few weeks old, a seat with a harness for a toddler, or a booster for a school-age child. The seats cost nothing and your driver checks every one before setting off.
Everything else works as it does for any of our passengers. Your flight is tracked, your driver waits for you after landing, and the fare shown when you booked does not move. Orly is where our drivers spend most of their working days, and we also collect families at Charles de Gaulle and Beauvais, or at their Paris hotel on the way home.
🛡️ What French law says about car seats
The rule sits in article R412-2 of the French Highway Code. Any child under 10 must travel in an approved child restraint suited to their size and weight, and in the back of the car. It is the driver who answers for it at a roadside check, not the parents. The official government site, Service-Public, explains that a child can move to the adult belt once their build allows it, and notes that car seats are designed for children up to about 1.50 m tall. A child under 10 may only ride in front in a few precise cases, for example in a rear-facing baby carrier with the passenger airbag switched off.
The same article contains one exemption that surprises many visitors. Children travelling in a taxi, or on a bus or coach, do not have to be in a car seat. That is why a Paris taxi is allowed to take your family without one, and why you cannot count on finding a seat in the car at the head of the rank.
Private-hire cars get no such exemption. A chauffeur service like ours is bound by the ordinary rule, exactly as a family car would be, so the seat is not an extra we offer to be kind. It is the law, and it is why we ask for your children’s ages at booking.
ℹ️ Taxi, Uber or Bolt: who brings the seat?
🚖 A taxi from the rank
Each terminal has its official taxi rank, at Orly as at Charles de Gaulle. Because the law exempts them, the driver has no duty to carry a child seat, and you only find out whether there is one when you reach the front of the queue. Some parents take that chance for a short ride. Most would rather not.
ℹ️ Uber
Uber’s own community guidelines for France are clear. When the law requires a child seat, it is up to the passenger to supply one and fit it, and children aged 12 or under sit in the back. Uber did launch a car seat option, but in New York and Los Angeles, and lists no such option for France.
⏱️ Bolt and the other apps
Bolt’s help pages explain that a category for travelling with children exists only in certain cities. Where it does not, you are asked to contact the driver after ordering to see if they have a seat, or to bring your own, and the driver may cancel if there is none. Whichever app you use, Uber, Bolt or Heetch, check its rules before you land, not in the arrivals hall.
⭐ A driver booked in advance
With us the seat is arranged before you travel. You give the ages once, we fit the seats beforehand, and your driver gets in touch before the ride so you know who is coming. Parents who have tried the apps with small children often tell us that getting a car with a seat on the spot was the exception, not the rule.
⭐ Which seat for which age?
⭐ Newborns and babies
A rear-facing infant carrier, usable from birth. Babies travel facing backwards because it protects the head and neck best, and most stay in this kind of seat until somewhere around their first birthday.
🛡️ Toddlers
A child seat with its own harness, for little ones who have outgrown the carrier. As a rough guide it suits children from about nine months or a year up to around four.
🚖 School-age children
A booster that lifts the child so the car’s belt crosses the shoulder and hips in the right place. We have boosters with a backrest and without, and we pick the one that fits the age you give us.
ℹ️ Your own seat
Travelling with your own seat? You are welcome to use it, and the driver helps you install it. European rules call for a seat approved to the R44 or R129 (i-Size) standard, so check for that label if yours was bought outside Europe.
🗺️ Should you bring a car seat to Paris?
For the transfer itself, you can leave it at home. The question becomes harder for the rest of the stay. If you plan to hire a car, take taxis around the city or rely on ride-hailing apps, you will want a seat of your own or one rented from the car hire company, since a taxi taken at a rank or a car ordered through an app may well turn up without one. If you mostly walk, use the metro and book a driver for the airport runs, you may not need to carry anything at all.
Flying with the seat has its own rules. Paris Aéroport points out that some airlines let you take a baby seat or a pram on board for a child under two, in addition to the usual cabin bags, but not all of them do. Check with your airline before you pack, because what happens at the gate depends on the carrier, not on the airport.
⏱️ Landing at Orly with a baby
Orly is easier with small children than its size suggests. Every toilet block in the airport, before and after security, has a baby-changing area open around the clock. Past the checks at Orly 3 and Orly 4 there are proper baby rooms with cribs, high chairs, bottle warmers and a microwave. During school holidays and other busy periods, Paris Aéroport opens priority lines for families at security and passport control. Where they are running, they are clearly signposted.
The wait for your bags can still feel long with a restless toddler, and a delay can push your arrival well past bedtime. Because the flight is tracked, your driver will hang on for up to two hours once the wheels are down, without charging you for it. Our drivers use the Parking Pro, the car park kept for professional drivers, so a landing close to midnight changes nothing and the parking never appears on your bill. If yours is due in after dark, our guide to what still runs at Orly after dark is worth a look. Going home, a family needs more time at the airport than a solo traveller, and we explain how early to reach Orly for your flight.
🚖 The pushchair, the bags and the drive
A folded pushchair goes in the boot with your suitcases, and there is no extra charge for either as long as everything fits in the car you picked. Packing for a long holiday with a double buggy? Choose the XL, an estate car with a larger boot, and the driver will load it all while you settle the children.
Once everyone is strapped in, the rest is simple. Our drivers speak English and are chosen for a calm, steady way of driving, because letting a stranger drive your family is a question of trust before anything else. There is water and Wi-Fi on board, which keeps a teenager with a phone quiet for the whole ride. And the fare does not change on the way, however long the traffic holds you up on the A6.
Plenty of families head straight for Disneyland, and we give them a ride to the Disney parks with the seats already in place, from Orly as well as from Charles de Gaulle. Those who fly in with Ryanair or Wizz Air land much further out, and for them we provide a family car from Beauvais Airport, a long way north of the city.
💶 Booking a transfer with child seats
It takes a couple of minutes, and the part that matters most for your children is a single line of text.
- • Start with the form on this page, entering the airport, the address you are heading to, the date and the time
- • Pick a car, and see its fare before you pay anything
- • In the comments box, write each child’s age, and mention it if you are bringing your own seat
- • After booking, your driver contacts you, which is also the moment to add or change a seat
- • On the day, the seats are fitted before the car reaches you, and the driver checks them with you
- • You leave a deposit online and pay the balance to the driver at journey’s end, by card or in cash
- • Holiday plans shift with children, so cancelling costs nothing if you tell us a full day before the pickup
You can book as far as 90 days out, handy when the flights for the school holidays were bought months ago.
