Uber Baby Car Seat Paris: The VTC Alternative with Free Child Seats

Question 1

Does Uber offer baby car seats in Paris, France?

Accepted Answer

No, Uber does not offer baby car seats in Paris or anywhere in France. The "Uber Car Seat" or "Uber Kids" option is only available in select US cities like New York.

Question 2

How can I get an Uber with a baby car seat?

Question 3

Can I take a taxi with a baby without a car seat in Paris?

Accepted Answer

In France, taxis have a legal exemption and can transport children without car seats. However, this is NOT recommended for safety reasons.

Question 6

How to travel with a newborn in a taxi or VTC?

Question 11

Is it legal to take an Uber without a car seat with a child in France?
