Car Seat Laws in Nepal: What Parents Need to Know

No car seat law Formula limited Tap water unsafe

Nepal has no car seat law and seats are simply not available to buy there. Formula options are very limited. Tap water is unsafe, and roads are among the most challenging in the world, with hairpin mountain turns, unpaved surfaces, and no guardrails. If you are trekking with a baby, plan extensively and bring all your own gear and supplies.
