Car hire abroad - child's car seat guaranteed?

Looking to hire a car in Italy. On the website, it's giving us the option of adding a car seat which is great. But, it's saying we don't pay for the car seat upfront - we pay for everything else upfront, but pay for the cost of hiring the car seat on the day. My question is, by reserving this car seat, is there any chance that when we arrive to collect the car, there is no car seat available? Getting concerned because if there is no car seat, we cannot take the car, and by paying upfront, we would then lose all that money. Thanks

what do the t&cs say about it?
without knowing the company and the details of the contract - it's hard to say 100%
have you also checked reviews of this company? has anyone else had an issue?
have you contacted their sales team / customer services?0 -
There is likely a pile of cat seats thrown in the corner of which they have plenty of unknown history.
Are you really going to put your child in one of those? Take your own would be my advice and was what we always did.
