Paris baby tips

Hi ladies, we’re off to Paris in December with our little one but we’ve heard Paris isn’t very baby friendly as there’s a lack of lifts, changing rooms and high chairs. Does anyone have any tips on how to get around this? Also any tips on baby activities there - my baby is 1yr.

We brought a fabric high chair that sits on a normal chair and is small enough to carry under a pram when your out x

Just been there last weekend and their public transport isn’t baby friendly in the slightest. You just have to carry the pram down stairs and get comfortable on escalators I’m afraid. Stations are rarely manned and there were no other prams on the network, just us. Try buses, baby wear. Also changing rooms are hard to find and public toilets aren’t the best, so lap changes.

@Sarah thank you! Yeah I’m a bit nervous about changing facilities. I wonder how the French manage!

Practice pram changes. I found that places are very accommodating to children, they made space for us and offered her food, but they didn’t do high chairs. Tbh Parisians didn’t seem to take children out to public places. The only children we saw were tourists too. I think a lot stay home or with Nannies. Lots of parents cycle with their children though and every pram was a yoyo (being a French brand) so they are keen on folding down prams and don’t use the public transport themselves.

@Sarah we do pram changes here every so often when we’re desperate but with it being a lot colder in December, I was hoping to avoid that. Might have to just do it in the back of shops/shopping center
