I’ll answer my own question:
-
Airport transfers by tour companies can be on either big coaches/buses (not equipped for baby carseat installation) or vans (that might have appropriate seatbelts although this can’t be guaranteed)
-
The official tourist “yellow cabs” in Havana (operated using newer cars, typically Chinese/Korean ones) typically do have the proper seatbelt in the back for safe carseat installation, with the proper retraction locking mechanism to be used as-is (you don’t need an extra carseat locking clip). The belts are long enough to enable a European-style belt path (that goes behind a bucket-style seat) with a bit of effort. I believe the company is government-operated Cubataxi/Transtur, telephone 855-5555, you may have to specifically request a modern car.
-
The old American cars (the taxis you see most often waiting for tourists on the streets) don’t have proper seatbelts. Not sure about old Soviet cars but likely the situation is similar. However, it’s still easy to find a proper modern “yellow cab” on the streets of Havana.
