In particular this website says it is never safe - https://childsafetylink.ca/wp-conten...ster-seat1.pdf

No, it is never safe to use a seatbelt extender with a booster seat. The extender changes the location of the buckle,
which then changes the starting point and angle of the shoulder belt, which could lead to an injury."
Yeah i did some looking around and saw the same thing. The other option will be to look for some new child seats which have a narrower base, but the G20 must have a real narrow space between outer seat edge and buckle because i don't remember having this problem in other cars. Or maybe they had loose rather than fixed buckles.
