Many of the automatic pressure monitors at a drug store can have their cuff replaced.  Then all you need is a pediatric cuff which is a cheap option.

If you want an all in one solution I found the Pediatric Digital Blood Pressure Monitor form Sale-Tag Company for $139.

It isn't completely automatic, you would have to inflate the cuff and then let the air out but the unit determines the numbers so you don't have to listen with a stethoscope.

I HIGHLY recommend the SunTech 247 (for ages 3+). It's a clinical grade device unlike many consumer models and home blood pressures, but is in a similar price range (around $400). It has an Automatic, one-touch blood pressure feature that only requires the push of one button. There is also a manual mode if the reading needs verification that allows you to use the device to take a reading with a stethoscope. You can also add Temperature and Pulse Oximetry with the modules if you need them later.

I think it's the best bang for your buck!

Omron Digital Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor would be my personal recommendation. My father possesses blood pressure problems and after trying numerous blood pressure monitor, I was personally satisfied with the results of Omron.
