Default seat belt extension

Has anyone ever heard of a seat belt clip extension? Here's the situation. I have 3 car seats. 2 boosters and an infant. It takes juggling and contortions to buckle the last kid into place. The seat belt clips (female part of the seat belt) on the ar are basically recessed into the seat cushions. I need to extend them so it is easier for me to buckle the kids in. Anyone ever heard of such an item?

Default No, but I'd like one, too.

Thought about trying to replace the buckle with one from the Passat, which extends higher up... but haven't gotten around to it.

Default Yes. There're different length, too

I'm not 100% sure with Audi but when I was working in a dealership of another brand, a customer requested that for his 350lb friend. It's basically a seat belt strip with male connector on one end and female on the other.

After some research, apparently manufacture are required to supply seat-belt extention for safety reasons. They came in two size: 9" or 15"

Parts department should be able to order it for you.

HTH,

Default That would be a nice idea. When we had our 2 child seats next to each other...

...my wife knocked the diamond out of her ring from having to work in such tight quarters to buckle up the kids. And a couple times we even found the seat to have been unbuckled when we thought it was buckled -- the buckle was so far back that it's not visible.
