The important thing to think about is the length of your son's finger reach/ hand size as companies like Yamaha make oboes for small hand without the low B/Bb.

Howarth do a good junior oboe but I'm not sure of its availability in the US-if your son can reach all the keys comfortably then go for a full one.

While you are waiting why not get a soft reed for him and get used to blowing it and build up a bit of muscle strength? (Gradually !).
