PSA: Please keep an emergency window breaker with a seat belt cutter in every vehicle, somewhere you can reach quickly. If your car goes into water, it can fill fast, and windows are extremely hard to break without the right tool. Do not rely on headrests to break glass. That is not a dependable emergency plan. The seat belt cutter can help free you or a child from a jammed belt or car seat harness quickly. You can find these tools on Amazon, but read reviews and make sure they are actually tested. Also check if your vehicle has laminated side windows, because some tools may not work on them. The YouTube/TikTok search and recovery team Adventures With Purpose has videos explaining this in detail. Their content is heartbreaking, but very educational. A small tool you hope to never use could save a life.
