This dentist designed a car seat with a quick-release feature to get kids out of car seats when a vehicle is on fire or otherwise in danger.
There's an article here and a video here:

There are two versions of the seat. The one with the handle actually looks pretty interesting. (Not sure about the logistics of changing the harness height, rethreading if you accidentally release it while installing, etc.)
The one that puts all sorts of metal and plastic over the kid...not so much.
Then you also have issues of people moving an injured child instead of taking the entire seat out. Obviously in a dire situation, you'll do whatever, but people would likely be overzealous about using the emergency feature.
Anyway, at least this guy is approaching actual manufacturers instead of trying to sell it on his own.
