I’d get a baritone uke and tune it linear dgbe. He can follow you better and he won’t have to relearn chord names when he switches over to guitar. He’ll just have to learn the rest of the chord he already knows on the uke.
Be sure to watch the nut size, ukes are already wider in their string spacing and then on top of that some have extra wide necks. This can be helpful to big hand fat fingered ukers but would not be good for a child. Look for a nice slender profile and narrower nut and put fluorocarbons on it.
