I agree with the others. Do not get her the LP60. You want to instill a love of music and especially music from vinyl sources. Not kill it by providing a cheap plastic toy that will only fulfill a passing fad.
The LP120 while still extremely entry level, does has an adjustable tonearm, a decent pre-mounted AT-95E elliptical cartridge and will not chew up records. Like the LP60 will. Coupled with a decent pair of active speakers, the 120LP would be the minimum to safely dive into the vinyl rabbit hole.
It amazes me that young folks all want to get into vinyl, are willing to spend an average of $25 for new re-issues and play them on $100 decks like the LP60 or even worse, Crosleys.
Start her out right.
