First of all I think it’s ridiculous to buy a set for a 4 year old. True it’s chinuch but the actual mitzva of chinuch begins at 9, not at 4. Yes we do chinuch much earlier but these are chinuch things directly connected to the person, such as tzitzis and brochos. The general minhag is one esrog and lulav for the entire family. Chinuch therefore is having him do the mitzva like everybody else. Most boys don’t have their own set until they get married. Buying a set for him will make him different and in a spoiling way. OK that said, if you do buy it should definitely be a kosher set, albeit barely kosher for $15 or whatever erev succos.
