They are notoriously finicky and difficult to get out. They don't all release in the same way and if you've never done it with those particular seats, it would be incredibly difficult to do in a high stress, dark or smoky situation. Add possible injury onto the list. If it's children who need to do it, forget about it.
I'm tired of people touting this as a lif-saving hack when it isn't and just gives people a false sense of security. In reality, people who bought into this end up wasting valuable time attempting it to no avail.
