Take a seat

It's a scandal (with a small 's') that many hire companies will not 100% guarantee child car seats for your journey when travelling.  But it's not like you can drive away legally with the kids jumping around like frogs in the back.  Worrying about the lack of seats always make me rush through the airport in a quivering funk to the car hire counter, only to find a stream of other parents there with the same idea.  Surely it should be made a legal requirement to provide a child a seat - it's bad enough negotiating the traffic in Paris, Rome, or Athens without worrying about your nearest and dearest falling out of the window of a moving car.  I was once contacted by a journalist about a feature he was writing on this, sadly though, the effect of this campaign seems to be a resounding nul points.  Must try harder.
