Personally, I think 6 may be a little too young to learn to handle a telescope.
When I was ten, I got my first telescope, one of those notorious badly mounted and optically poor Tasco 50-60mm refractors, instruments which have put millions of people off astronomy for life. It is a wonder that I did persist with it.
About two years later, I got a Unitron 3inch F15 refractor, which was a serious well-mounted instrument with decent optics.
It was not fiddly, as are some reflectors, and it could be set up in a minute or two. I think these are essential attributes of any childrens telescope.
