It would be helpful if you stated you and your son's citizenship/passport as that can make a difference.

Assuming he has a qualifying passport, you can apply for an ETA visa for your child. The form 1229 specifically states it is not for use with an ETA or eVisitor, so if you are going the ETA route, you don't need it.

I've never entered Australia with a child and I am not a lawyer. But my interpretation is that form 1229 is for unaccompanied children. If you are traveling with your son, and both apply for ETAs which are approved, you should not have any issues.
