If he's making it up the hill and not complaining, I wouldn't worry about whether he's seated or standing. It sounds to me like he's doing fine. The new bike is probably heavier than his previous bike and he may need to build up a bit more muscle to cope. If his knees really are coming up too high, raise the seat. My kid's first 20-in bike was a p.o.s. from a department store. The crank did not turn smoothly and was not rebuildable. He had fun on it and got hooked on biking anyway. If you really want to improve the bike, you could get lighter tires and add a lower gear.
