I started diving when I was about 10 yrs old and had *no* trouble with
full sized scuba.  If your kid is younger than that then there are medical
issues which you should consider.  It is now thought that you should wait
till the diver reaches 75% of there expected full size (I think that is
right but I'm not certain).  If it is because you want them to use a
jacket style bc, why make the kid use stuff you wouldn't, get a harness
and a small wing.  (probably cheaper too)
Cheers Jason :)
