I have a size XS for sale. My son is 13 and 5’5” and *just* grew out of it. Almost new, 5 dives on it, and in great shape.

Nope, I scooped it
If you're looking for a kid's back inflate BCD, you might think about the Backplate and wing approach.... It will grow with them (about $10 to get new webbing when they outgrow where you trimmed it) and last roughly forever. A smallish wing (20lb or so), webbing and hardware (buckle, triglides, D-rings), 2 cam bands, and a plate.... small plates to suit a kid are the "hard" part. But a plate is just a flat panel with slots cut for straps.... for single tank the "standard" backplate channel is counterproductive (puts the tank further off your back, can make it less stable with a Singe Tank Adapter). I cut my own plates out of a $5 plastic cutting boards to start, and my kids (12 and 16) still prefer them over the aluminum plates I had cut:
Left to right: My youngest when he was 11, My 16 y.o.'s rig assembled (version2 of the cuttingboard plate), him when he was 14 diving it, and version 3 cuttingboard backplate template.
Respectfully,
James
