Hi.
Perhaps your best bet is to call the airline(s) to ask about procedures and protocols.
This is from Air France

Also, below is from the CDC
["According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, face shields and masks can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome in babies. “Kids under the age of two and especially infants should not be wearing a face mask or face shield,” Soneji says. “These items are hazards for choking, strangulation and suffocation.”]

Spain has announced that children under 6yrs accompanying a vaccinated adult do not need a negative Covid test. France very well may be the same. Look on the Schengen site or French consulate.

I believe Spain has also said that children over 6 but too young to be vaccinated are permitted with a negative test, if they are accompanied by vaccinated adults. Younger children don’t need a test, and I presume older ones need to be vaccinated. It says “minor children”, so I would presume up to 18 but I’m not sure if that. In the US 12+ can be vaccinated so I would suggest vaccinating teenagers before travel.
