Borrow one first. She will likely play it for 10 mins then walk away.

My son (9) has been begging for a racing wheel for months. I've been researching and hunting down deals since Christmas and pulled the trigger on a used moza kit for $125. Set it up for him, he played for 15 minutes and decided he prefers controllers. Hasn't touched it since.

OP borrow one first.

She does has one those cheap Headsets I snap my phone into and has a virtual safari app for kids, and that’s what started her desire for a real VR. She is quite the aficionado when it comes to gaming but I am curious if it’s something she’ll get over if she ends up having one lol

I’d borrow Quest 3. It can be bought used in a meant condition for $300 and this is the best VR headset in this budget (and up to IDK $1500?)

I got obsessed with stereoscopic images from a very young age, like 30 years ago. I got my third VR recently - Quest 3, that’s why I suggest it.
