CDG Airport Pickup with an Infant Seat — Baby Car Seat Taxi

Give us each child's age and your flight number when booking. The right seat — infant carrier, group 1 or booster — is installed in the vehicle before pickup, at no extra charge.

A folded stroller goes in the boot alongside the suitcases. For a bulky or double stroller, or a lot of luggage, the 7-seat van offers noticeably more boot space than a saloon car.

A transfer between Charles de Gaulle and Paris costs 65 euros in a classic car, 85 euros in a VIP saloon and 110 euros in the 7-seat van, and the child seat is added free of charge. These are reference fares, tolls included; the exact price is confirmed when you book, and a night surcharge may apply.

The classic car suits a couple with one or two young children and normal luggage. The 7-seat van is the right choice when you travel with three children, a double pram, a travel cot or several large suitcases, because the boot takes the bags and the middle row takes two child seats side by side.

Payment is made at the end of the ride by card, cash or bank transfer, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.

The driver follows your flight by its number and is at the arrivals exit of your terminal with a name board when you come out. CDG is large: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 with its several halls, and Terminal 3. Give us your flight number so we know which hall you will exit from.

Baggage collection with a baby always takes longer than planned, especially if you have checked in a pram or a car seat. If your flight is late, the pickup time follows the real landing time; on arrival, 15 minutes of waiting are included and longer waiting is charged, so send a quick message to the driver if baggage reclaim is slow.

Once outside, the driver loads the suitcases and the folded pram while you settle the baby into the seat that is already fitted. You leave the airport without carrying anything to a car park or a taxi rank.

The RER B links CDG to central Paris, but with a baby it means lifts, platforms, a pram in a crowded carriage and, often, a change or a walk with suitcases at the other end. After a long flight, many families find it the hardest part of the trip.

A booked car takes you door to door in a single step, with the seat ready and the luggage handled by the driver. For a family of three or four, the fare is often close to the combined cost of several train tickets plus a taxi from the station, and the trip is much simpler.

Plan the pickup time with your airline's recommended check-in time in mind, then add a margin for a nappy change or a last-minute bottle. On departure, the driver drops you at the entrance of your terminal, closest to your airline's check-in area.

If you travel with your own car seat to use at your destination, tell us when booking: we can either fit our seat for the ride and load yours in the boot, or leave the space for yours.
