If its that heavy, it can probably do some damage in say, a sudden stop or turn or collision… strap it in.
This really is not that complicated.

My laundry is not going to cause any danger with in-town driving, and the basket is too broad to put a belt around. It’s a stupid feature, but hey I’d be willing to get rid of airbags too so I imagine we are on opposite sides of the safety spectrum.
Read just now that seat occupancy sensors are required in new vehicles, disgusting. Never buying a newer car, will be repairing my current one til it turns to dust.

A car accidentally hits you, your laundry goes flying everywhere, now you are blind and recovery steer into a kid on a bike, with your underwear over your eyes, that kid on the bike is dead now.
Oh the basket has some kind of top latch or lid or way of closing? Cool, it stays as one solid thing and hits your arm and causes the lethal counter steer.
You should not be allowed to drive a car.
You are literally a perfect example of someone who is not mentally competent to be trusted with a half ton of steel and aluminum and plastic that can reach speeds of 60+ mph.
Also, if you had something heavy on your passenger seat, which was too big to get the belt around, but was safely secured in some other way?
Just… click the belt in before you put that thing there.
People like are why I avoid driving as much as possible.
