Sara,
We have a mini-cacher, Brawny Cub, who is 10. She loves to go caching. For
her 10th birthday she asked for her own GPS. We got her a gecko. It runs
around $89, but is very friendly to the user. The only drawbacks are there is
no place for a landyard to clip to (Bernie fixed that problem for her) and you
can't download anything. It is all done by hand. She is very responsible with
it. She keeps it in her dresser drawer until she needs it to go caching. She
even bought a hard case to store it in at the dollar store (eye glass case).
So, I think in answer to your question, it all depends on when you are ready
for your daughter to have one and when you think she is ready to have one.
Good luck
Bridget

For those of you with mini-cachers.....do the minicachers have their own
GPS's? At what age do most recommend a child have their own GPS? And what GPS
would be recommended for mini-cacher? My daughter is 4 and was acting all
interested when I had my Etrex Vista out to d/l waypoints the other day and I
was already planning on getting her involved in GCing this summer.
