Our son has asked for a VR headset for his upcoming 11th birthday

Any recommendations for something that will be comfortable for a child to wear?

On the Quest 2 what sort of capacity do you realistically need? Is 128GB the sweet spot?

Final questions, do you need the hand controllers too and what games would you recommend for a child this age?

Hand controllers come with it.

Its gone up £100 since it came out, so its not as good value as it was. Bear in mind you might need some further accessories. Literally a ton of great games these days, depends what sort of stuff they like.

That's great, I'd seen some "bundles" for sale and wasn't sure!

He's into Minecraft and Roblox, loves building stuff.

Measure your kid's IPD (there are phone apps that easily do this) then check the lowest setting of any headset you're thinking of buying.

If their IPD is lower than the headset offers, I can't imagine it will be good for their eye development.

Not easy to do that as a surprise I guess!
