Travelling with a baby or young children requires constant organisation. On arrival at Nice airport, the last thing you need is to search for a vehicle fitted with a suitable seat. Booking a private chauffeur with a baby seat settles the matter before you even board. Here is how to prepare this family journey.
Why plan the child seat in advance
In France, a child must travel in a restraint system suited to their height and weight. Infant carrier, car seat or booster: each age has its own equipment. Arranging it in advance saves you carrying one on the plane and ensures your child travels safely from the moment you leave the terminal.
The three main categories
- Infant carrier for newborns, fitted rear-facing.
- Car seat for toddlers, with built-in harness.
- Booster seat for older children, used with the vehicle’s seat belt.
State the age and approximate weight of each child when booking: we prepare the matching equipment on request.
A Mercedes designed for families
Pushchair, changing bag, suitcases, favourite cuddly toy: a family carries a lot. The Mercedes V-Class offers the space needed to seat the children and stow all the luggage without compromise. For a small family travelling light, the E-Class is often enough. Discover the capacity of each model on our Mercedes fleet page.
The airport welcome, family edition
Your chauffeur follows your flight’s actual arrival time. He awaits you in the hall with a name board and helps with the luggage to the vehicle. The seats are already fitted: all that remains is to settle the children in and set off. More details on our Nice airport transfer.
Our tips for a peaceful journey
- Keep a small bag to hand: water, a snack, wipes.
- Let us know if your child suffers from travel sickness: the chauffeur will adapt his driving and the breaks.
- Mention a double pushchair or travel cot, so the boot space is planned accordingly.
Beyond the airport: every family outing
The child seat is not just for the arrival transfer. A day in Monaco to see the Oceanographic Museum, an afternoon on the beach in Antibes, lunch in a hilltop village: your chauffeur can accompany you throughout your stay. The hourly hire lets you keep the same equipped vehicle for several hours.
Large families and groups of friends
Several families travelling together? We can arrange several vehicles or a minibus with driver, with the right number of seats. See our van and minibus with chauffeur.
What to tell us when booking
- The number of adults and children, with each child’s age.
- The flight or train number.
- The number of suitcases and any bulky items.
- The exact destination address.
The more precise your request, the smoother the journey.
Parents’ frequently asked questions
Should I bring my own car seat?
It is not necessary if you let us know when booking. If you prefer to use your own, your chauffeur will help you fit it before departure.
Does the chauffeur help with the pushchair?
Yes. He loads and unloads the pushchair and luggage, so you can look after the children.
Can we stop during the journey?
Of course. On a longer journey, a stop for a bottle or a nappy change is possible: simply ask your chauffeur.
Start your holiday at the airport
With children, every moment of calm counts. A chauffeur waiting for you, seats already fitted, a spacious Mercedes: your holiday begins as soon as you leave the terminal. Book your family transfer specifying your requirements.
