Bike advice - moving on from child bikes

My DD is only 10 but is 5’3” with very long legs. She’s had various Frog, Isla and Squish bikes over the years and has just grown out of her last (Squish) bike. At her height we are thinking we may as well just get an adult bike. Neither DH or I know anything about bikes. We live in a very urban area so it would be used for riding on roads or parks - not tracks or countryside. It also is only for light use so we don’t want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations? Should we just pick up a cheap one in marketplace or there are any brands that we should look out for? Thank you!

A hybrid would be good. Not a mountain bike or a road bike but in between. Can go on easy trails but more comfy than a road bike. Or a Dutch bike but they don't have many gears so good if flat. And a good lock.
