TL;DR
Child car seats are very uncommon in regular Nha Trang taxis, and a car with one cannot usually be guaranteed. Bringing a compact travel seat or arranging one through a rental company is more reliable.
Do not rely on a regular Nha Trang taxi arriving with an infant seat: drivers may cancel short trips during congestion, and requesting a car seat makes matching a vehicle even less likely.
Vietnam does not generally require child seats in private cars, so taxi fleets usually do not keep them in their vehicles.
A practical option when travelling with a child is to bring a compact portable seat, including a model that straps onto a standard car seat with nylon webbing.
If you need a seat for the whole holiday, ask car-rental companies first: boosters and child seats are far more likely to be available there than in Nha Trang taxis.
