Hi!
We’re a familiy of four - two adults and 2 kids (0 and 2 years old).
We’d like to make a reservation for a train from Mannheim, Germany to Paris, France. From what we understand, kids younger then 5 years old travel for free. However, when we try to book via the interrail website, the overall amount is supposed to be 88 Euros for all of us. Can anyone help on how to make the right reservation?
Thanks a lot
Antje and familiy

With children, the best place to book is this page:
https://www.bahn.de/buchung/intern/start#?KL=2&ET=PASSZUSCHLAG
Do NOT check "Seat reservation only”. Do enter the ages of the children(*), then they're free of charge. Also, DB are using an old price and don't have extra booking fees, so it will be €38 in total.
(*) First choose "6-14” and later enter "0” and "2” when asked.
Edit: you do need free passes for your children for them to be entitled to seat reservations.

Thanks so much!
"(*) First choose "6-14” and later enter "0” and "2” when asked." was impossible to guess - it works exactly like that :)
But in order to use the seat reservations for the children, you must have free children's passes for them. Without the free children's passes, you must travel with the children in your lap.
