Personally, I prefer to wrap surly children in rolled up closed cell mats. 
It muffles their screams and contains them well. This is an excellent light 
weight solution to a common problem. I got mine at Galyans for only $14, or 
a dollar per ounce.

When this fails, it provides an excellent opportunity for practice of your 
bear bagging techniques. Hanging her by her ankles will help avoid post 
nasal drip. This further reduces the risk of adverse medication reactions, 
and may help strengthen her lungs as she exercises her vocal cords, further 
reducing risks of pneumonia. The fresh air will do her good, as should be 
evident as soon as she is lowered to the ground. I usually find older 
children and adolescents bounding away, delighted with their health and 
freedom! As long as she wears boots or shoes, heat loss should be minor, 
just as if she were wearing a cap. Avoid the temptation to hang her by her 
neck, as this may compromise her upper airway.

Thank you for the question and the opportunity to make this trail related!
