We went back to visit Guatemala in November when our daughter was three years old. We traveled the country by car a lot that whole week, and while we did not have a car seat, we never felt for our daughter's safety. That said, when she was younger and we were on our pickup trip, it did make me a little nervous on the car ride to the airport---but I think that was mostly because we're so conditioned to NEVER have an infant out of a car seat. I personally don't think the driving is any worse in Guatemala than in big US cities. When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
As for the stroller, we took one with us on visit #1 and left it with the foster mom. We didn't bring one on the pickup trip because we decided it would be too much of a hassle when trying to juggle all our other bags.
