Baby Car Seats in Paris Transportation
Standard Taxis
Unfortunately, Paris taxis do not provide car seats. French law requires car seats for children, but taxis have a legal exemption. In practice:
- You can legally ride with your baby in a taxi without a car seat
- However, it is not safe for your child
- Many parents are uncomfortable with this option
Uber and Ride-Hailing Apps
Like taxis, Uber drivers do not have car seats available. Some parents bring their own portable seat, but this is not always practical when traveling.
Specialized Private Car Services
This is where Lajoieway stands out. We provide:
- FREE infant carriers for babies 0-12 months
- Rear-facing installation for maximum safety
- Clean and sanitized seats between each use
- Trained drivers who know how to install them correctly
French Car Seat Regulations
Under French law (Article R412-2 of the Highway Code):
| Age Group | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 0-9 months | Rear-facing seat mandatory |
| 9 months - 4 years | Car seat, rear or forward-facing |
| 4-10 years | Booster seat required |
| 10 years+ | Adult seatbelt |
While taxis are exempt, private car services like Lajoieway choose to prioritize child safety.
