need advise on BC for Jr OW diver

My 13 year old son starts his BOW school in a couple of weeks and I intended for him to use an extra BCD that I have, a Riptide Zone, but when I had him try it on today it fit him fine in the waist and chest area with extra adjustments left, but for it to fit him good in the shoulders he has to cinch them all the way down, with no extra adjustment left. My question is this: Since he is still growing, shouldn't the Riptide be fine for him,.. especially considering the fact that he will be growing some more or should I get him a BCD thats one size smaller that will give him extra adjustment in the shoulders? I know this may seem like somewhat an elementary question, but I do know normally, if he wasnt gonna be growing anymore that I would buy one size smaller,... Just looking for opinions,.......
