Car Seat Laws in Maldives: What Parents Need to Know
No car seat law Formula limited Tap water unsafe
The Maldives has no car seat law, but that barely matters because there are almost no roads. You will get around by speedboat, seaplane, and on foot within your resort island. Formula is very limited, so bring your full supply. Tap water is not safe, though resorts provide bottled water. This is one destination where a stroller is more useful than a car seat.
