If anyone knows this to be wrong, or has other practical advice for such circumstances, please let me know, since in the middle of nights like last night I like to lay awake in bed and picture how I'd get children in carseats out of vehicles that have plunged into a major river.

I have one of those life hammer thingies that will break the window and can also quickly cut the straps of safety belts. It was an impulse buy at AAA.
I do not have plastic sheeting, duct tape, Cipro, or a cache of bottled water at home. (So don't come to my house during an emergency, 'cause we ain't sharing the single can of beans.)
