There are hudrends of museums in Paris, but each one has is one rule and sometime you can’t acces the museum with your stroller. In order to avoid any unpleasant surprises, baby’tems provides you some informations about parisian museums.

Baby can be in your arms or in his stroller, it’s quite difficult to make him wait when you are in a huge line. So, what can you do?

In Paris and in France in general, you can easily avoid lines with children under 3  and/or with strollers. In supermarkets, you might have a special line, if not ask the cashier. The cashier will allow you to come before the others clients. Don’t be afraid to act the same at the bank, the post office or at the airport

One of the most famous monuments in Paris is the Eiffel Tower.  How can I enjoy it with kids and toddlers?

Good news, every kind of strollers is allowed unless it’s non-collapsible. We highly recommend using the elevators to go up!  Furthermore, the restrooms are spacious and allow you to change baby.

For the older, from 6 to 10, an interactive and fun route is reserved for them, so they can discover the history of the Eiffel Tower.
Children under four years are entitled to free and under 11 you will be charged less.

Our museum tour keeps going with four new museums which answered to our questions! Both rented strollers or yours, are not welcomed everywhere.

French rules of the road makes mandatory carrying security seat belt for driver and all car passengers in front and rear seats.

As children cannot directly use security seat belts, children between 0 and 10 year-old need to travel in a weight, age and body-type specific car seats.

Quickly…car-seats groups are:
Group 0 + : from birth till 13 kg (about 1 year-old) – to be used in back-to-the-road position
Group 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (to about 3 to 4 year-old) – facing the road
Group 2 : from 15 to 25 kg
Group 3 : 22 to 36 kg

• At baby’tems, we’ve chosen to  rent branded Graco and Chicco car seats only, for security and simple use reasons:

Graco Junior Baby car seat – gr. 0/0+
Graco Junior Mini car seat- gr. 0+/1
or Chicco Proxima car seat – gr. 0+/1
Logico L car seat – gr. 2/3

• The frequent asked question is: “my child could use in several car seats types, which one should I rent?”

Our answer: it depends from both age and body-type of the child…
For example : for a tall and thin (less than 13 kg) 18-month old baby, we’d recommand use of a gr. 1 car seat. Baby will be comfortably and safely installed.
For a small 3 1/2 year old child, we’ll advice to rent as well a group 1 car seat.

For a tall 3 1/2 year old child (and weighting more than 15 kgs), we’ll rather recommand a group 2 car seat.
However, keep this in mind: in a gr. 2 car seat, the child is maintain by the car seat belt ; car seat back and head are also used to maintain the seat belt, wich remains easier to unlock than in a 5-point gr. 1 car seat harness.

In any case, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Most important: always read and follow carefully provided instructions for use.
