airlines have seat belt extenders which they pass out to the obese who are too fat for the regular belts to fasten , the fatties whose body lard pours over to the next seats , not sure they would be legal in a car though.

Have you been eating too many cream cakes? :D

I take it that it is an inertia seatbelt? they do come out quite a way.
How much longer do you need it to be?

What car is it for? (thats important to know)

Have you googled for seat belt extender?

I take it you mean for a childs car seat??
Is there no Isofix fixing points in your car? better than using the seat belts if there is
