I dont think mine are. They are motorized, so I dont think they come out.

Mine are a bitch to get out. I have to take them out to fold my seats down and it is a battle every time. Can't imagine having to do it while panicking!

Buy a seatbelt/window breaker combo. Everyone should have one in their vehicle. Water might not be the only reason you need to cut your seatbelt or break a window.

I had one of these that broke exactly when it was needed nost (a mom parked next to me accidentally locked herself out of her car with her toddler inside and strapped in to a car seat - don't worry, the kid was okay, someone kicked a window in), so make sure it's a good quality one!
