You can also “jump” the car to open it via a 12V access port in the front.

Then break the fucking window if it’s an actual emergency.

Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.

Yeah, that’s much quicker than just unlocking the door with your fucking key, right?

Yeah…because breaking the window as your first option in an emergancy is a GREAT idea. No need for a manual handle with a key, right? What a stupid idea that would be.
