Cheers, yeah cheapest is not the concern. Better brakes would be great in making her feel safe

This also looks ok for a mixed terrain rigid

Yep, The Orbea kids range is great, but confusing. They seem to have about 5 models for each frame.
The cheapest decent bet is this one, with the rim brakes: https://www.ukbikesdepot.com/m14b0s10p28485/Kids_Bikes/24_inch_Wheel_Kids_Bikes_%289_To_11_Yrs%29/ORBEA_MX_24_Team_2018
The ones lower than this have a steel fork, and to me the most important thing with kids bikes is to avoid unnecessary weight. The alloy forks looks cooler too. Still, given the money from the fund raiser, I'd find it hard not to buy the hydro disk option. It's tubeless ready too!
