Honestly? I'd do my darnedest to rent a car, if the taxis don't have seatbelts. Even if you're using public transport once you're there, the carseats will keep your kids much safer on the plane, and I'm certain the condo has closets.
Of course, I can't say as I'd be too happy with the "We didn't use seatbelts when you were a kid" argument...I'm 26 and my mother has mentioned using a car seat when I was a baby (probably a very crappy one, as I think the late '70s/early '80s were the dawn of car seats), and definitely used seatbelts (seatbelts have been standard gear on cars since the mid-'60s, so unless you're either a lot older than I or your dad likes classic cars even more than mine did, there were most likely seatbelts when you were a kid). I'd be pretty surprised if the taxi really didn't have seatbelts, but honestly I think even without them car seats will be better than nothing; a large part of their safety is their bulk, from all I gather. (Maybe there's a car seat tech on the site who can help out...)
