Alpine A290 Seat Belt Extender | Certified Safety & Perfect Fit
Buckle Up Comfortably in Your Alpine A290
The A290 is a five-door electric hot hatch with a genuinely sporty cabin, and that comes with trade-offs. Up front, a tall centre console crowds the buckle. In the back, the battery floor sits high and space is tight. A seat belt extender brings the latch back within easy reach in both rows.
The Problem
Alpine raised the centre console above the Renault 5 layout to house the drive selector buttons, so the front buckle stalks sit in a narrower channel than you would expect in a supermini. The sports seats add firm side bolsters on top of that. In the second row, the battery pack lifts the floor, leaving rear passengers sitting knees-up with the buckle tucked well below the hip line. For broader passengers, anyone in a winter coat, or people with restricted reach, that means fishing blindly for the latch on every journey.
The Solution
A purpose-built extender lifts the connection point out of the console channel and above the seat bolster. One click into the car's buckle, one click with your existing belt tongue, and you are secured comfortably, with no reaching and no risk of a penalty for riding unbelted.

Choose the style that fits how you drive
Browse the full range on our Alpine seat belt extenders page, then pick the style that matches your seat and your reach.
| Style | Best for |
|---|---|
| Regular | Woven webbing that adds flexible reach between your belt tongue and the receptacle. The usual choice for rear seats, where you need length rather than height. |
| Rigid | A solid section that stands upright and holds the buckle above the bolster line. Usually the better answer in the front seats, where the console and seat sides are the obstacle. |
| Universal | Fits compatible seat belt systems across multiple vehicles. Confirm the buckle and fitment specifications before ordering. |

Pick the shortest length that works
We recommend adding only the minimum length you need to buckle comfortably. More webbing is not safer, it just adds slack.
1.Find your seat
Select the exact position: front driver, front passenger, second row window, or second row middle.
2.Measure the gap
Up front, measure the height needed to clear the console and seat bolster. In the rear, measure the reach across your lap while seated normally.
