Queen and King here - I moved the passenger seat all the way forward, then had her climb up, then he stood beside her(behind the passenger seat) leaning on the halo and stabilzing her. Only problem I had was a face-full of gown anytime I looked to the right.

Every summer/spring this question is asked.
The answer is yes, the convertible top cover will hold a person (of reasonable weight - and that probably eliminates those over 400 lbs
).
It is BEST if the person resides on a towel, and the seat/console where their feet will be is also protected by a towel.
CAUTION: - it is extremely important that you understand that sitting on this area, especially if you have a coat of wax on it, will be VERY slippery. Therefore - NO sudden turns, no speeding (say above 5MPH).
Have fun.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just put down a towel and drive carefully so your niece doesn't slide.

No problem at all. I have a targa and she sat on the pass side with a towel on the paint. 
You can't take it over 146 mph though
as it's difficult for for some reason for them to hang on at 147.
