It would be great if you could get her a used balance bike. They end up using it about 6 months before they master the balancing. But the transition to a bike with pedals and no training wheels is so much smoother. We did make the mistake that, after the balance bike, we bought him a regular bike that was too big for him. It took him another 6 months for him to reach the ground with his feet and feel secure enough to start riding with no training wheels. But he didn't "unlearn" the balancing he had learned with the balance bike. He started riding right away.
