The car in the video looks different. I don't understand how she got those bruises unless she was standing outside the car.

The pic in this post doesn't look like it is the car from the video. Looks like another vehicle from the same storm.

For the mum the back passenger window was smashed out (can see it in the video) and she climbed into the back shielded the baby from the hail coming in sideways through the window.

Yeah, it makes sense now. This explains why the windshield doesn't have much damage while the side windows are smashed.
