best lightweight baby backpack carrier image
Q. for a week in a hot country
Answer
a backpack with a dozen sarongs, a swimsuit, a simple lightweight cotton dress, a sunhat, beach shoes, sandals, a light sweater.
I've traveled for months at a time with a very basic (and easily carried) backpack with those items. Packing lightly gives plenty of room for souvenirs and you can always pick up an inexpensive piece of clothing or two if you want to.
Sarongs are very handy for everything from a blanket to a grocery bag...see my article Sarongs - More Than Just a Sunwrap 10 Great Ways to Use a Sarong- from Baby Carrier to Bathing Suit for some great ideas on lightening your travel load...

I'm vacationing in Brazil this summer w/ wife and 1 yr old daughter...what do I need?
RAZOR___
I've never traveled so far with my daughter. We are going to rent a van. Do we need a car seat? We will be hiking. Are there all-terrain strollers? Anyone who has experience vacationing with a baby please give me some advice. This is going to be a very, outdoors-nature, trip.
Answer
I agree with Starlight, especially about the carseat. There are probably no laws regarding using one, but you definitely want to take one with you. Accidents occur anywhere ;)
The reason you will probably want a backpack carrier is that it will be so much easier than taking a stroller everywhere, particularly if you plan on doing alot of hiking - the stroller will be a huge burden and probably useless. Even in town/city, the sidewalks will not be even like here in the US - they will most likely be uneven and bumpy, plus the streets may be very crowded if you're in a populated area. There are a few styles of backpack carriers that have wheels on the bottom and convert to a lightweight type of stroller. I still think this may be an issue in Brazil b/c of pavement, etc.
I personally would suggest getting an Ergo Carrier. It is soft so you can fold it up and stuff it in a tote bag, unlike the backpack carrier. We used one for our son - you can have your child on your back or in front of you.
Good luck and enjoy your trip!
