I have wasted my money like 3 times trying to buy a rig for my daughter only to have it malfunction or the line be crap, and I hate and I mean hate re-spooling a push button reel. Suggestions?
 
The line in rigs that are sold for kids is always junk. I have a few cheap poles my boys received as gifts. I just put new line in them and they've been good enough.

Any chance yours could learn to use a spinning reel?
 
The zebco omega is the best spincast reel I've ever used.

If not that then a spinning reel... the lower priced ones are all pretty equal as long as it's from a reputable company. I personally like Abu Garcia but you're talking $75 low end for the better ones. The cardinal reels aren't bad for the money.
 
I tried to go with a closed face reel for my son and quickly realized it was a bad idea. He started using a spinning reel around 5. I started my daughter with just a spinning reel at 5. They both caught on pretty quick. I would go the spinning reel route but don't fill it all the way up with line, or they will have kinks.
 
When my son was little the Zebco Rhino was the best one we tried in spincast. Like you I hate messing with spincast though. I was ecstatic when he moved up to baitcasters.

YES! The Zebco Omega. I bought 4 of them 2 years ago. My son is 7 and daughter 9 they can throw them a country mile and the drag system works flawlessly. My wife uses the other 2. I think mine came spoiled with Cajun line which is okay I re-spooled them after a year. They have the best guts of any spin cast made today. I believe they offer 2 different sizes.
