Disneyland Paris with a baby or toddler: Pushchairs, Coin Bébé, Eurostar & hotel cots
Key facts
Short answer: children under 3 enter Disneyland Paris free, stay free in a complimentary Disney hotel travel cot (1 per room on request), and eat free at buffets. Both parks have a heated/air-conditioned Coin Bébé (Baby Care Center) and Baby Switch, and under-4s travel there free on Eurostar.
For UK and European families (and US families visiting Paris), Disneyland Paris is the easiest Disney trip to pair with a train journey or city break: under-3s enter both parks free, the Disney hotels sit a flat 10-to-15-minute lakeside walk from the park gates, and under-3s eat free at buffets (with free jars of baby food available on request at table-service restaurants).
Here is everything Disneyland Paris publishes for babies and toddlers — including Coin Bébé (Baby Care Centers), Baby Switch, hotel travel cots, pushchair rules, and getting there by Eurostar/TGV or from Charles de Gaulle Airport (checked October 2026).

1. Pushchair & stroller rules at Disneyland Paris
- Bring your own reclining travel pushchair: While Disneyland Paris rents strollers inside both parks (for a daily fee plus deposit), the park rental pushchairs are upright rigid metal buggies with no lie-flat recline and no rain hood, making them unsuitable for babies under 12 months or afternoon naps. Bring a compact, lie-flat travel pushchair with a rain cover and bike lock (many European parents loop a small cable lock through the back wheel when parking outside rides in Fantasyland, leaving the front wheels free in case Cast Members tidy the buggy park).
- What's banned: Like the US parks, Disneyland Paris bans wagons, ride-on suitcases pulled behind you inside the parks, and scooters/balance bikes inside the gates.
- Walking from the Disney hotels: Disneyland Hotel sits right over the park entrance; Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Hotel Cheyenne, and Hotel Santa Fe all connect to Disney Village and the park gates via a flat, pushchair-friendly lakeside path (8 to 20 minutes on foot), so you never need to fold your pushchair for a shuttle bus unless you want to.
2. Coin Bébé (Baby Care Centers) in both parks
Each park has a quiet, heated/air-conditioned Coin Bébé (Baby Care Center) where you can feed, change, and warm bottles away from the crowds:
- Disneyland Park: On Main Street, U.S.A. near the Plaza Gardens Restaurant (at the corner leading toward Discoveryland).
- Walt Disney Studios Park (Disney Adventure World): Right inside the entrance courtyard, behind Studio Services.
Both Coin Bébé spaces have nursing chairs, changing tables, microwaves, and bottle warmers, plus nappies/diapers and baby food available to buy. Almost all restrooms across both parks also have fold-down changing tables.
3. How Baby Switch works at Disneyland Paris
When you want to ride an attraction with a height restriction (such as Big Thunder Mountain, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, Crush's Coaster, or The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror), use Baby Switch:
- Go to the ride entrance together so the Cast Member sees both adults and the baby.
- One parent queues and rides as normal while the other looks after the baby.
- Ask the Cast Member for a Baby Switch token/pass; when the first parent comes off, the second parent enters via the Premier Access / exit lane without waiting in the main queue again.
4. Best rides for babies at Disneyland Paris (no height limit)
- Disneyland Park: "it's a small world", Peter Pan's Flight, Les Voyages de Pinocchio, Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Mad Hatter's Tea Cups, Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Le Pays des Contes de Fées (Storybook boat ride), Casey Jr. – le Petit Train du Cirque, Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom Manor, and Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast.

5. Getting to Disneyland Paris with a baby: Eurostar vs flying
- By Eurostar + RER A or TGV: Under-4s travel free on an adult's lap on Eurostar, your folding pushchair goes free on top of your luggage, and there is no 100 ml liquid limit for baby milk! Take Eurostar from London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord (then lift access down to the RER B → Châtelet-Les Halles cross-platform interchange to RER A straight to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy right outside the park gates), or change at Lille Europe for a direct high-speed TGV to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy.
- By air to Charles de Gaulle (CDG): CDG Terminal 2 has a high-speed TGV station that gets you to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy (Disneyland Paris) in just 9 minutes! Alternatively, the Magical Shuttle coach runs directly from CDG and Orly to the Disney hotels (under-2s ride free). See our British Airways, easyJet, Air France and Delta guides for flight rules.
