Interested in this thread....and have a question. What's a lock off?
Honestly, even though he's youngish and still under 40lbs, I would get them a high back booster and do a lot of education with him. That way, they won't forget the seatbelt and at least he will be restrained by SOMETHING. In another 6mo, he will be mush more responsible and as their memory gets worse, it will just be easy to put the seat in and put the seatbelt around him. If you do the education with him, he can even be responsible for everything himself and will remind them how to do it. My barely 4yr old just reamed my SIL for taking off her seatbelt while driving to back up the car!

Any younger and I wouldn't agree but at this age he should be fine. A booster is much safer than a car seat not installed correctly. A booster is very hard to do wrong, you could probably teach your son how it is supposed to go. The Parkway is easier to use, there are no armrest to go under (or mess up and go over). It is also much cheaper than a harness seat and it will last the longest.
