this is not the right place for that info.
With regards strollers,portacots, high chairs, sterilisers, microwaves etc all these things can be hired locally through the likes of Bali Baby Care (just Google)
You can take a stroller free on the aircraft, but you can only carry so much.
Car seats are a problem.
You can hire them, but then what??
Taxis and other transport vehicles do not have the tether strap bolts to fix the seats properly.
Additionally, when you get to where you are going....what about the seat??
Some use seat belt restraints, but in my view this is no better than a booster and not suitable for small toddlers or babies.
Most of the baby equipment hire places do have transport options with capsule and car seat restraint fixtures.
I suggest using one of these for your airport transfer to begin with and see what services they are providing and if you are happy to book longer trips or contact for shopping etc.
Don't listen to people who say that traffic moves slowly and it doesn't matter about capsules and seats.
If you have been on the By-pass and Sunset Rd racetracks you will know what I mean.
Also Indonesia does not have the same safety ratings systems as elsewhere in their cars.
Air-bags???.....better take your own!!
Good luck....many have taken small children and had a great time.
