Lot's of responses, everyone, thank you.

Yeah, I want something that is not too tiny, because I'd like for her to be able to transition to my ninja. Riding a clown bike isn't going to be the same, IMO. I want her to be able to get both feet down, simply because if you can do that, and you drop the bike when you are moving too slowly to keep it up, it's easier to catch it. I guess the lighter weight helps with that too, but being able to catch it before it gets leaned over to far sure helps.

I have a big field right outside my house that I can use. So, I don't need to be able to go on road. Most dual sports that I've seen that I would feel comfortable on the road are too tall to be comfortable as a teaching bike.

It will probably be a little bit anyway, but we'll see.

@Alex, I thought your wife rode already. Isn't the 300 hers?
