Don't Forget a 6 year old will be 7, 8 etc before you know it. A cheap store telescope on a rickety mount won't last till he is 6 1/2.

The best cheap telescope will be a small Dobsonian and a couple of decent lenses. This will still be useable when he grows up. Those small table tops should be enough to get him excited!
