The equatorial mount can be very confusing to use. It can turn you right off Astronomy. Maybe down the track, if you really get into the hobby, then consider one.
A Dobsonian mount is very intuitive to use, just push and pull to where you want it to point. My kids used to use mine all the time with out any trouble at all. You'll all enjoy the views to be seen through a 6" Dob.
I bought my scope through
www.andrewscom.com.au, and they delivered it up here to Kilcoy for around $70.
