Indonesia has no car seat law, but you can find seats at malls in Jakarta and Bali. Formula is available in cities from local and some imported brands. Tap water is not safe, so use bottled everywhere. Most families in Bali hire a private driver rather than renting a car, which also solves the car seat installation problem.
