Instead of buying an expensive car window safety hammer (used to break a car window in case of an emergency) you can buy a welders chipping hammer (used for chipping slag off of welds) for around 5 dollars and up.
When you watch REAL safety hammer testing on YouTube a lot of those safety hammers don't work very well. To break glass effectively you need a good sharp point and some steel behind it.
That is why a 5 dollar chipping hammer works so much better.

You will also want to have something for cutting a stuck seat belt. For this you can't beat a good pair of scissors. Put the chipping hammer, scissors, and a pair of leather gloves in a safe but easy spot to get to in your car.
There are a lot of videos on YouTube of people leaving kids and pets in hot cars and people having to break glass to get them out. Having tools like this will make this a lot easier.
