Cambodia has no car seat law and car seats are not sold locally, so bring your own. Formula selection is very limited, mostly to a few imported brands in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Tap water is not safe anywhere. Roads between cities have improved but are still rough in places, and hiring a private driver is strongly recommended.
