Yes, there are different sizes of spacesuits. Each astronaut is individually fitted with his or her own spacesuit. As some astronauts are tall, some are short, some are heavier and some are thin, each suit must be made to fit each person's body. There are no spacesuits for kids right now because we do not have any kids flying in space. Someday, when kids are going into space, spacesuits will be made for kids. You will be able to walk into a spacesuit store and say, "I want a size 13 suit please."
