I'd think that for leisurely rides with a young'un, you'd probably be fine with just about anything? But if there'd be anything to pay attention to, I agree that it would be the wheels--my boyfriend weighs around 300lbs, and is always having problems with the spokes on his bikes that came with lower-quality wheels. But then again, he isn't gentle on any item he owns, and is probably much, much harder on a bike than a normal person would ever be around a local park.For the record, though, he bought a cyclocross bike (which, therefore, came with wheels that are made to take some pretty rough riding) which he uses as a road bike, and has never had a single problem with the wheels.
Ride some bikes and see what feels good to you, and have some fun with your daughter! Welcome to the forum!
