Facilities such as safety seats in hired cars are rare but nearly every restaurant can rustle up something resembling a
high chair. If you are particular about brands of diapers and creams, bring what you can with you and stock up in super-
markets. Fresh milk is rare and may not be pasteurized - again, supermarkets are your best bet. Packet UHT milk and
milk powder are much more common. If your child has to have some particular tinned or packaged food, bring supplies
with you. Public breastfeeding is not common among urban, non-indigenous women and, when done, is done discreetly.
Customs Regulations
Normally customs officers won't look seriously in your luggage and may not look at all. Guatemala restricts import/ex-
port of pretty much the same things as everybody else (weapons, drugs, large amounts of cash, etc).
