Bike for the Mrs

Looking at getting MrsCrazy a bike on C2W once my current one ends (this month I think). Only needed so we can go out as a family with the boy in a seat on the back of mine and girl on her own.
Looking for a HT for gentle bimbles but not a BSO POS. Currently considering a Whyte 802 or a Voodoo Bizango simply because she can try for size.
Any other recommendations from you learned people???...

Hi Oxo, thanks for the links. Yeah the 802 is the one you linked. Do like the look of those Giants.
Had a look in the specialized shop on the way home from work last night and got the Mrs to come and try the Jett Comp, which looked pretty good https://www.specializedconceptstore.co.uk/product/5496/2017-2017-jett-comp-29/ she seemed to like it (different colour to that shown) which seems to be the front runner so far I must admit...Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531

The 2017 also comes in a turquoise, otherwise it may be a 2016 model and slightly different spec.
If it's the newer 32mm XCR fork it's not bad value at that price, if it's the older thinner fork less so.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Its the 2017 turquoise (which I actually really like) and has had the very important colour thumbs up from my 5yr old girl...Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531
