how to choose a suitable violin?

i am going to take up violin classes all for the sake, weLL MAINly to play thE instrument daily in front of my 16 mths old, just so that she will develop interest in violin…
i dont want to buy one that is too lousy, that it will turn her off , i mean, i am already not good at it… dont need a lousy instrument to make it worse.
neither do i need one thAt is too expensive, as i would let her play with it… feel the violin and in case… she break it.

please recommend a brand or model, where to buy in hk or any website that will ship to hong kong…
please… thanks…
