BC for 14 yr girl

I am trying to find a good BC for my 14 yr old daughter. She is 5'5" 105 lbs. her waist is about 28" and chest is 32" I was looking for something that might be adjustable to a point for next 2-3 yr. She shouldn't get to much bigger, her Mom was real small until early 20's, certainly don't mean that in a bad way!!!
I am sorry if this has been covered tried to search but no luck.
Thank You.

i already have a daughter at age 11 that is already my wifes height of 5'2" my advice is probably a dive rite rig. can really adjust it for what you need over time. sounds like she already hit her peak so maybe any bcd in a small to medium might be ok. but with kids i would keep renting. how much does she dive?? is the real question.

I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs, and what I found worked beautifully for me was a backplate and wing rig. The nicest thing about them is that they're infinitely adjustable for size (which means if your daughter grows, the rig can grow right with her). Crossing the straps behind my neck made them more comfortable for my narrow shoulders. I wouldn't go back to a standard BC for anything you could offer me.

Zeagle used to make a child size Ranger (I think) that I saw once at Scuba Toys... just like a normal Ranger except smaller.

Ping the Larry & Joe for more info & to see if they still can get them.

Zeagle Concept II is adjustable size. Also, Seasoft (www.Seasoftscuba.com) has adjustable size BCs. My son was not sure about back inflate so I got a Seasoft BC. It can be adjusted from XS to L.

When we get young girls in class, some of them can be downright tiny. We keep a small sized dive rite transpack around just for these occations. It fits a huge range of people. If your daughter is 14/5'5"/105 chances are good she wouldn't outgrow it. A BP/Wing would work as well.

My 13 yo daughter really likes her Zeagle Stiletto. I bought different vest and shoulder straps sizes to match her body type. I also like that she can switch out the shoulder straps for a larger size as she grows.

My wife is almost the same weight and height as your daughter and she just loves her Zeagle Lazer.

Thank you for all the really good ideas. I was looking at the Zeagles, but never even considered BP&W and that's what I dive.

Any thoughts on maybe the Zeagle Brigade, anyone have one that small?
