A family holiday in Paris can be exciting, but travelling from the airport after a flight, passport control and baggage collection can be tiring for both parents and children. Booking a Paris airport transfer with children in advance avoids searching for a taxi, navigating public transport with suitcases or splitting the family between several vehicles. To make the journey easier, provide the children’s ages, request the appropriate safety equipment and select a vehicle with enough space for everyone.
1. Book Suitable Seats for a Paris Airport Transfer With Children
When making the booking, state how many children will be travelling and provide their ages. A general request for a “child seat” may not be sufficient because the appropriate equipment depends on the child. Sharing accurate information allows the transport provider to prepare suitable seats before the family arrives. If you are travelling with a baby, mention this specifically and confirm which solution can be provided. It is best to request safety equipment as early as possible, particularly during school holidays and other busy travel periods.
2. Choose a Vehicle With Enough Space for the Family
Families often travel with more than standard suitcases. They may also have a pushchair, changing bag, hand luggage, travel cot or other equipment. You should therefore provide the number and type of items when booking. A spacious premium saloon may suit a small family travelling lightly, while a van will usually offer greater comfort when several children or a significant amount of luggage are involved. The chosen vehicle must provide enough room for the passengers, the required child seats and all the family’s belongings.
3. Plan the Airport Pickup Around Your Children
After landing at Charles de Gaulle, Orly or Beauvais, families may need additional time to pass through passport control, collect a pushchair, change a child or take a short break. Providing the flight number rather than only an estimated meeting time allows the chauffeur to monitor the arrival and prepare for a delay. It is also helpful to appoint one parent as the main contact and keep the chauffeur’s details easily accessible. A realistic schedule makes the airport pickup calmer and avoids rushing the children immediately after the flight.
4. Keep Essential Items Accessible During the Journey
Before entering the vehicle, place water, suitable snacks, wipes, spare clothing and a small toy or activity in an accessible bag. This prevents you from opening large suitcases during the transfer. If the journey is long or includes several stops, inform the transport provider in advance so that the route can be planned accordingly.
