I realize I'm coming across this thread a number of months after the fact, but if you think your daughter (assuming she's still interested in playing) might want to move up to a guitar in the future, getting her a Baritone Uke might be a good way to go.  The Baritone is tuned like the 1-2-3-4 strings of a Guitar, so you learn to think guitar chording, as opposed to the GCEA of the ukulele. 

Happy Uking!

Hi Spike, as far as your sister's Uke going constantly out of tune, the cheaper ones have this problem, due to the quality of the tuner.  If your sister wants to learn and play, a quality instrument is worth its weight in gold.  You're probably looking at no more than $50-$100 for a decent Uke on Amazon.  Stay away from the $29.99 bargain basement instruments.  They're a complete waste of money, if your sister is at all serious, and if you don't want to be constantly fighting to keep it tuned.
