Seatbelt information in new club suite questions

My friend is looking to book a flight to YYZ in April and/or June.
He currently uses a seatbelt extender in Club World cabins and is looking for information about the seatbelts in the new Club Suites.

How large are they? Do they have available extenders? What would happen if he couldnt get the seatbelt buckled and no extenders were available?

I told him Id post here and ask. Thank you for any information.

just to add he emailed BA to ask, but their response time is not always the best.

And in the meantime, this thread has quite a few photos. The seat belt also has a shoulder component, just for take off and landing, not for inflight turbulence.

I know for a fact extenders are compatible and available. When I flew in the Club World Suite for the first time, my seatbelt had an extender fitted when I arrived. I couldn’t fathom how to buckle up what with all the straps, I needed the crew to help me out. When the extender was removed i was finally able to figure out how to fit the shoulder restraint.

As Prospero says, seat belt extensions are available as they are with any other seat.

Confirming others, passenger in front of me used one, flight attendant assisted in getting it set up. Seemed easy and crew was very helpful to the passenger.

Thank you for the information! So quickly as well!

My friend is relieved and I once again can say FlyerTalk came to an (almost) immediate rescue!
