Default Practical Help for cars please!!

Hi,

I'm new here and new to bipolar. My 6 year old daughter was diagnosed this week and we're still learning.
She scared us today by trying to jump out of the car while having an anger fit. When that didn't work, she tried to climb into the front seat to "scratch my eyes out".
Now, an hour later, we're home and she's calm.
We had two advantages today - one, we were in our minivan where I can just override her from the front and two, most important, my husband was with us. Usually though I'm on my own with her and her little brother.
Does anyone have any practical help for me? I'm supposed to take her downtown in two hours and I'm afraid. If I don't, she misses out on something really important to her. If I do, it'll be dangerous, maybe.

Help!
Thanks, Emma.
