Charles,
At 4'6" tall a small plate is needed.
With a 7mm suit a SS plate is a benefit.
I'll estimate a full 7mm suit on a person his size to be about 12-14 lbs positive.
He could use a very small wing, based on his current requirements, but I'll going to suggest our LCD 20 for a couple reasons.
It's shorter wing, and that's a good thing with short bottles like a 63. Much less likely to trap the wing under the bottom of the tank when he sits down.
The 20 will also provide a little more margin for when he grows a bit, and starts to wear a larger more buoyant suit.
The small plate will work until he's maybe 5'3" or 5'4"
To recap:
A single rig consisting of:
Small SS Back Plate
LCD 20 Wing
Hogarthian Harness
Let me know if you have other questions or call me at 626-799-5078.
