Most recent (20+ years) windows are tempered and when broken, won't create fragments with sharp edges and won't flake. It would be tough to hurt a kid if breaking a window that's the furthest from them.
I bought everyone in my family a Life Hammer a few years ago which slices your seatbelt and breaks the window of you're stuck in a car. I doubt they carry it out with them though ;)
Bottom line - break the freaking window if your other option is to leave the kid in there waiting for help.
