Do kids, pregnant & nursing women, and the eldery have to fast in Lent?

In the United States pregnant women, nursing women, people over 65 and children under 14 are not obligated to fast, nor to abstain from meat. See canons 1250-3.

On Ash Wednesday a Catholic Christian is allowed two collations (light meals) and one full meal on Ash Wednesday - all without meat.
