Securing a booster with non rigid latch

My kids exit the car in such a rush that rebuckling the booster rarely happens.
Lower anchors are offset and using then makes the booster sit atop the seatbelt stalks.
Can I use one flexible latch connector to secure one side of the booster? I'm guessing a rigid latch could put extra torque pressure on the booster frame if only latched on one side, but if a flexible latch was attached loosely would the same potential issue also be possible? Try as I might, the boosters never get rebuckled and they're not the last kids to exit the car.

If you had a booster with rigid LATCH, you wouldn't be able to move it at all.

You cannot have boosters LATCHed when they're offset. The manuals forbid it.
