You could put a scarf on top of the contents...that's what I do with my Picotin (in my avatar) since it's an open top bag.
I have the large bucket and I can honestly say it has never tipped over. But, just in case, I keep all loose things like lip gloss, etc. in the small pouchette that comes with the bag and I keep it hooked to the gold chain. When you're carrying the bag it keeps itself closed by the way it is tucked under your arm. It really is quicker to pull your wallet out when there is no zipper. The bottom is very sturdy so I guess that's why mine has never tipped over. I've had no issues with this bag because of its open top.
I haven't had any problems, my BH isn't flimzy - now if I had to come to a scretching hault -that would be another story, my stuff would be every where - it doesn't bother me!!
I put my BH on the passenger seat and it doesn't tip over. I think the bag's proportion keeps it from tipping, plus the weight of all my junk helps too. 
I have a large mono Bucket, vernis Bucket GM, a Sac Shopping and a Cabas Alto. None of my bags have tipped over in the car and let me tell you I DRIVE and CORNER. If they do tip over everything is inside of it's own compartment.
The vernis Bucket is very, very stiff. It doesn't give at all.
The way to keep your things in a convertible bag, in my opinion, is to compartmentalize everything. I don't have anything loose in my bag. Being an accessories hog, I have a LV compartment/pouch/pochette for everything. The things that would be considered loose are still their own holder ie. Agenda, Mono Pen holder, Mono Sunglass case (that I don't use), mono coin purse... You know what I mean? The key is to compartmentalize. Buy LV or someone elses accessory holders/cases then pack your back and sport it!
Also by placing things in various compartments you can always reach in and get what you're looking for and one doesn't have to worry about someone reaching inside of the bag and grabbing some miscellaneous thing. The pouches/pochettes/holders stack down lower in the bag.
Lastly, if you're in the car alone you can always strap it in with the seatbelt!

Faith, that was an excellent thing to bring up about "convertible bags", the feet! I do not understand why LV doesn't add this feature to more bags.
