I understand G7 let you specify a taxi with a child seat, but do any of the VTC operators? Or is there room in a van to keep a child in a small pushchair, like in a London taxi (without that van costing the earth)?
Any tips & experience much appreciated!
Two other observations.
1. The Paris metro is great, but it does not have nearly the saturation of escalators within the stations that London does. Thus, be ready to walk a lot of stairs.
2. When I ladt caught a cab from Gard du Nord (Eurostar) about 18 month ago, they had re-engineered poorly the waiting area. The result was long lines to get a cab, i am not sure where I would meet an arranged and reserved G7 taxi there and you shoukd focus on that if you plan to do so. Maybe G7 can help.
