Crib rental in Paris solves a problem most parents only notice at 11pm on arrival day: the apartment is charming, the bedroom is tiny, and there is nowhere safe for the baby to sleep. Booking a cot in advance takes minutes and costs less than you might expect. Below you will find the options, the daily prices, the delivery details, and the measuring tips that stop a good plan going wrong.
Crib rental in Paris: your three main options
Different trips need different beds. In short, here is how our Paris sleep range breaks down.
Travel cot and play pen — €12 a day
First of all, this is the workhorse. The travel cot and play pen folds into a compact footprint, sets up in under a minute, and doubles as a safe play space while you unpack. It suits babies and younger toddlers, and it fits beside a bed in most Paris bedrooms.
Wooden mini crib — €20 a day
Meanwhile, some babies sleep better in something sturdier. The wooden mini crib has a firmer feel and a proper mattress, which helps if your child is used to a fixed cot at home. However, it takes up a little more floor space, so measure first.
Snoo Smart Bassinet — €40 a day
For newborns up to about six months, the Snoo Smart Bassinet responds to crying with motion and sound. Parents who already use one at home usually want the same routine on holiday. It is the priciest option, yet a rough night in an unfamiliar city has its own cost.
What crib rental in Paris costs
Notably, all prices are daily rates and there is no minimum booking, so one night is fine. Longer stays get cheaper per day automatically, because our pricing tiers reduce the rate as you add days. You will see the adjusted total once you select dates.
For a five-night trip, expect roughly:
- Travel cot and play pen: from €12 a day
- Wooden mini crib: €20 a day
- Snoo Smart Bassinet: €40 a day
Meanwhile, delivery is charged separately according to your address, and the exact fee appears at checkout. Payment is taken in full at booking to hold the item for your dates.
Hotel cot or crib rental in Paris?
To begin with, many Paris hotels will provide a cot, often free of charge. That is worth asking about first. However, there are three common catches.
First, supply is limited, especially in small boutique hotels. Second, you have no say over the model or the mattress quality. Third, the offer usually disappears entirely once you book an apartment rather than a hotel.
By contrast, renting gives you a known item on a known date, delivered to whichever address you are staying at. In addition, everything is deep-cleaned between bookings with perfume-free, baby-safe products and inspected for safety before it goes out.
Crib rental delivery in Paris: what to tell us
Firstly, we deliver to every arrondissement, plus hotels, Airbnbs and holiday rentals across the city. We also cover Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly Airport and the Disneyland Paris area.
To make the drop smooth, add these details at checkout:
- Floor number and lift. Paris buildings often have narrow stairwells, so our team plans accordingly.
- Door codes. Most residential buildings need one, and reception desks cannot always help.
- A realistic window. Match it to your check-in, not your landing time.
- A phone number that works abroad. WhatsApp is ideal if roaming is unreliable.
Prefer to collect it yourself? Self-pickup is available at our designated location with ID and your order confirmation.
Measure the room before you book
This is the step people skip, and it certainly matters. Paris bedrooms are frequently under 10 square metres, and a cot has to fit somewhere that is not the doorway.
Specifically, check three things in your listing photos or with your host. How wide is the gap between the bed and the wall? Does the bedroom door open inwards? Is there a radiator, a window or a curtain cord near the only free corner?
If space is genuinely tight, the folding travel cot is the safer choice. Meanwhile, a larger apartment or a family suite can easily take the wooden crib.
Safe sleep away from home
Of course, a new room changes everything for a baby, so a few habits help. French paediatric guidance mirrors the advice you will know from home, and the official Santé publique France resources are a useful reference.
Keep the cot clear. A firm mattress and a fitted sheet are enough. Leave pillows, bumpers and loose toys out.
Move it away from cords. Blind and curtain cords are the main hazard in unfamiliar rooms.
Watch the temperature. Paris apartments run hot in summer and over-heated in winter. Light layers beat a heavy blanket.
Repeat the home routine. Same order, same songs, same timing. Familiarity does most of the work.
Darken the room. Summer evenings stay light late, and blackout cover makes bedtime far easier. Our guide to surviving a Paris heatwave has more on keeping rooms cool.
How to book a crib rental in Paris
- Browse. Open the Paris catalogue and filter to the sleep category.
- Book. Choose your dates and a delivery window, then add any extras to the same basket.
- Receive. We deliver clean, inspected gear to your address, or you collect it yourself.
- Return. We collect at the end of your stay, and no cleaning is needed from you.
Modifications, cancellations and extensions all need 48 hours’ notice. The how it works page explains each stage in more detail.
What else to add to the order
Since delivery is one trip, it is certainly worth thinking beyond the cot. A bottle warmer (€12) and an electric steam steriliser (€10) make night feeds far less painful in a small kitchen. A BabyBjörn bouncer (€10) gives you somewhere safe to put the baby down.
For daytime, the Babyzen YOYO² (€14) folds small enough for buses and cafés. Our wider guide to renting baby gear in Paris lists the rest.
Crib rental in Paris: frequently asked questions
Is bedding included?
Each cot comes with its mattress, naturally. Bedding varies by item, so check the product page and add a note at checkout if you need anything specific.
Can I rent a crib for one night?
Yes. In fact, there is no minimum rental period, and each calendar day counts as one rental day from your delivery date.
Do you deliver to hotels and Airbnbs?
Yes. Furthermore, we deliver to hotels, Airbnbs, serviced apartments and private homes in every arrondissement, as well as CDG, Orly and Disneyland Paris.
Will someone set the cot up for me?
Generally, our travel cots open in under a minute and arrive with instructions. Where a video guide exists, we share that too.
How is a rented cot cleaned?
Every item is deep-cleaned and sanitised after each return using perfume-free, baby-safe products that follow the manufacturer’s instructions, then safety-inspected before the next booking.
What if my dates change?
Contact us at least 48 hours before your start or return date. Changes and extensions depend on availability, and we will confirm as quickly as we can.
Sleep well, travel light
Finally, a cot is the one thing you cannot improvise in a Paris apartment. Book it with the rest of your gear on the Paris page, and start the trip with an early night. Still weighing it up? The FAQ page answers the practical questions.
About Rent Anything
This article is published by Rent Anything. Here is what the service is, in case you arrived here from a search.
What is Rent Anything?
Rent Anything is a short-term and mid-term equipment rental service operating in Lisbon, Paris and Disneyland Paris.
Equipment rental refers to paying a daily rate for an item you use and then hand back, rather than buying it or carrying it with you. A mid-term rental means that the booking runs for weeks or months rather than days. Five ranges are stocked: baby and children's gear, mobility equipment, remote-work tech, home and living, and travel and outdoors. In short, you travel light and it is waiting when you arrive.
How does renting work?
Four steps: browse the catalogue, book your dates, take delivery or collect, then return the item at the end.
Rates are quoted per day and fall the longer you rent, because every product carries a rate ladder, also known as pricing tiers, rather than one flat price. For example, a week costs less per day than a weekend does. A minimum rental period refers to the shortest booking an item accepts, and it is stated on that item's own page beside its live availability. According to our own how-it-works guide, there is no deposit at any point. Therefore the figure shown for your dates is what those dates cost, not a starting price. Source: How it works.
Where do you deliver?
Across Lisbon, Paris and Disneyland Paris, including the Lisbon and Paris airports and the Lisbon Cruise Terminal.
Delivery refers to us bringing the item to where you are staying - hotels, Airbnbs, serviced apartments and private residences - rather than you finding a depot. Specifically, it is priced from the distance between our warehouse in that city and the address you give, so the fee appears at checkout. In addition, free cancellation means that a booking can be cancelled at no charge up to 24 hours before it starts. Simply put, you book the address you are staying at and we handle both ends.
