Just got my 2023 Model Y LR AWD and now that my kids' booster seats are in, we noticed the buckles where the seatbelt needs to latch are deeply embedded in the seat.
I like how they sit flush, but it's not helpful when the kids want to buckle themselves and the buckles are challenging to make work reliably and quickly.
I bought a set of extenders on Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C65CBPYC) and while they latch into the buckle, the seatbelt does not latch into them, so had to return them.
It seems like the metal tongue of the 2nd row seatbelts on the Y are too short, or maybe the flare out at the base is stopping it from inserting far enough to latch securely. A metal tongue less than 30mm seems to be what could work.
I found Seat Belt Extender Pros® - Your Source for Safe Seat Belt Extenders who infortunately have a massive price surge compared to most Amazon listings, but we'll see if these will work out when they arrive.
If anyone is looking for something similar, or has already found something that works without the crazy price tag, please share!
