What bass for 8 yr old

The shortest I’d go would be the squier mini which I think it’s 28” and some change. Unless you are going to get a UBass there’s no reason to go any shorter.

Bass guitar is a long instrument at whatever age might as well get used to them. Plus kids will develop their own techniques to deal with their short coming, pun intended. My ex girlfriend was a 5 foot nothing in heels with short tiny fingers who’s a concert pianist it’s amazing how she plays some complex pieces. Of course people at that level makes everything looks easy but man it’s like watching Yoda fights. “Do or do not, there’s no try”.

Crap, you planted this image in my head. Yoda playing complex piano pieces. Also you holding hands with Yoda.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the only thing I would add is, whatever you get, take it to a music shop to get it properly set up (unless you know how to do that yourself ); I can vouch that it can transform even a cheap instrument.
