Arriving at Marseille-Provence airport with a baby: car seat and stroller on landing

You are landing at Marseille-Provence airport with a baby and wondering how to carry them safely from the moment you step off the plane? The answer is simple: in France, a child must travel in an approved car seat, including for the trip between the airport and your accommodation. Rather than carrying a car seat and a stroller in your luggage, you can have them delivered straight to the airport, ready to use. Here is how to plan a smooth arrival.

A car seat is mandatory, even from the airport

This is the first thing to know: French law requires a restraint suited to the child's weight and height for any car journey, with no distance exception. A taxi, a private hire car or a rental car do not always provide a car seat suited to infants, and when they do, quality and cleanliness vary.

Having an approved, cleaned car seat delivered directly to the airport guarantees a compliant trip and peace of mind from the very first minute.

Travel light: leave the stroller at home

Carrying a stroller and a car seat in the hold means weight, bulk and the risk of finding your gear damaged on arrival. The solution: bring nothing bulky and pick everything up on site.

• A car seat for the journey and getting around

• A compact stroller for the airport and sightseeing

• The rest of the gear (cot, high chair, bath) delivered straight to your accommodation

You arrive hands-free, with just your suitcases and your baby.

How it works on arrival

The process is designed to be simple, even after a flight with a little one.

• You book in advance from the catalogue, choosing Marseille-Provence airport as the delivery point

• The equipment is handed over at the airport, clean and ready to set up

• At the end of your stay, we collect it at the agreed spot

Marseille-Provence airport is about forty minutes from Senas, at the heart of our delivery area, which also covers Avignon and Aix-en-Provence TGV stations.

Preparing your arrival with a baby

A few reflexes to make the plane-to-car transition smooth.

• Keep a change of clothes and changing kit in your cabin bag

• Save a bottle or a feed for take-off and landing, it eases their ears

• Anticipate the delivery time: if you land in the middle of the night, let us know, a night-time delivery is possible

Book in advance

For a stress-free arrival, book your equipment at least 48 hours before landing. You choose your items, set the airport as the delivery point, and everything is waiting at the exit. Browse the catalogue or contact us to plan your arrival.
