water-filled test dummies (in place of passengers)
The general term is of course "dummy" and, yes, they are cheaper than classic crash-test dummies, but they are not their alternative. They are not used in crash tests.
Here is a quote from MGA News (http://www.mgaresearch.com/resources/July2007.pdf):
"This plastic dummy has the shape of a human torso and buttocks, and is used for various testing including seat durability, road handling, braking, acceleration, and tire traction. The dummy is filled with water to achieve the required weight for the test."
You can also find an alternative name in that document – 'Water Ballast Test Dummy'. So, essentially they are just 'ballast', but 'stuffed sacks' simply does not sound like a term.
