Paris with Kids: Baby Gear Guidelines for Iconic Landmarks

Welcome to our guide on choosing the best baby gear for popular attractions in Paris! Traveling with a baby can be a wonderful experience, but it's important to have the right equipment to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip for both you and your little one. This guide will provide baby gear guidelines for each attraction in Paris, including recommendations on whether to use a stroller or a baby carrier. Let's dive in and find the perfect baby gear options for your Parisian adventure!

Musée d'Orsay
A stroller is a better option while visiting the Musée d'Orsay, but you should remember that they only accept light strollers. Also, if you’re planning to use a baby carrier, remember that the museum does not accept baby carriages with a metal frame.

The Louvre
Good news! Strollers are allowed at The Louvre. The museum has a lot of elevators and free space to use your strollers freely. A light stroller will be easier for you during your trip, not only at The Louvre.

📌P.S.: Paris is not offering enough space for big strollers on the streets, metros, buses, restaurants, and even apartments. So, we recommend you not carry your bulky baby gear but rent from local parents of Babonbo, who offer lightweight strollers that fold easily.

Arc De Triomphe
Strollers are not allowed. Therefore, you may consider bringing a carrier or leaving your stroller at the entrance. The ascent to the panoramic terrace requires climbing 284 steps, so bringing a baby carrier might be easier for both you and your little one. There is an elevator available for families with young children, but it's advisable to be prepared in advance.

Eiffel Tower
Only small, light, and foldable strollers are allowed at the Eiffel Tower. Therefore, if you have a large baby stroller with you, it is recommended that you leave it behind. Instead, we suggest using baby carriers, which will be more convenient for both you and your little one. Considering the potential queues at the tower, waiting there with a large stroller could turn into a nightmare.

Sacre Coeur Basilica
Climbing the 300 steps to the top of the dome would have been a nightmare with a stroller. Although there are flat platforms located next to the stairs, they are so steep that they're not worth the effort. We recommend using a baby carrier instead of a stroller, especially with a toddler.

📌P.S.: When choosing the right carrier, we also recommend considering your comfort. You may need to do a lot of walking, and your own comfort is just as important as your little one's. You might want to consider renting a carrier from local Babonbo parents who have tested the carrier themselves.

Notre-Dame Cathedral
Strollers are allowed inside Notre Dame Cathedral, but remember that it can get crowded. Opt for a compact stroller that is easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Alternatively, a baby carrier would be a convenient choice for exploring the interior of the cathedral.

Champs-Élysées
When strolling along the Champs-Élysées, it is best to use a lightweight and compact stroller due to the crowded sidewalks. A baby carrier is also a good option if you prefer to have your hands free while exploring the shops and attractions on this famous avenue.

Seine River Cruise
A lightweight stroller that folds easily would be suitable for a Seine River cruise. However, it's important to note that some river cruise boats may not have ample space for strollers. Using a baby carrier would allow you to navigate the boat more comfortably and enjoy the scenic views.

📌P.S.: Whether you choose a stroller or a carrier, we recommend renting it from Babonbo providers. As fellow parents who understand the challenges of navigating Paris, they can offer you the best baby gear. Additionally, you can rent high chairs, car seats, toys, and more!
