Travelling abroad, with an infant and plus size

First ever post, so apologies as I'm not savvy with all the abbreviations.

Not about weight loss in particular but wondered if anyone has had similar experiences.
I'm looking to travel to Spain from the UK via Ryanair as I do every year. They are notorious for having small seats and seatbelts.
This will be my first time travelling solo with my LO who is 21months. He's a tall boy so will be purchasing an extra seat for him to sit in during the flight but know that for take off and landing he will need to be sat on my lap.
The only time I've ever needed a seatbelt extender was when I travelled at approx 28 weeks however I'm worried if I'll need one this time as well. I am 5'8", 292lbs and approx size 22-24.
What I'm concerned about is with me needed the child seatbelt adapter, will I be allowed to use a seatbelt extender as well if I need one. I'm taking a guess that I will need an extender but I can't afford to/don't want to feel the shame of getting booted off the flight if this isn't allowed.

Tweet or email them. And get it in writing to have with you - it’s RyanAir.

Sorry, I should have said! I messaged them on their website via their chat box and they didn't seem to understand my question. I only got the responses that they provided seatbelt extenders and that the child would need to use a seatbelt extender attached to my seatbelt. Not that I could used a combination of both if needed.
