Can I fit seat belt extensions to my car?

My Hyundai Kona Electric is very difficult to fit the seatbelt into the clip on the driver's side. Would there be any problem if I bought a seat belt extender?

Seatbelt extenders are legal to use but only if the user simply cannot use the existing seatbelt due to body size. Most vehicle manufacturers advise you should only use a seatbelt extender sourced or approved by the car company itself.
