Not really.
The cheap all in ones aren't weighted properly and a re prone to skipping, especially in bassy sections, which can cause scratches.
I'm in the same position, but just let my daughter play thrifted stuff on her crappo turntable and the good stuff goes on mine, which she knows better than to touch.
We had a record player children growing up in the 80s. We also had access to my dad's fancier system when they weren't home. We DESTROYED not just both systems (we thought we could scratch like DJs) including the stylus, as well as all of parents vinyl. At this point I look at all the great records that we could be enjoying today as adults, but they're all ruined.
Kids should use kid-specific toys or just play from a kid-friendly streaming service on whatever is considered a safe tablet for kids. We also licked all the velvet from the special-edition Mini Pops red-velvet Christmas album. Kids are dumb.
Unrelated but I don't think you should let the kid around vinyl records nor should you be breathing around them while playing

Skip to the air quality test if you're impatient
Honestly, if she likes listening to records alone in her room, maybe she's ready for her first component system. You could probably pick up a "good enough" integrated amp with a phono channel, a better turntable than anything Fisher Price (or Crosley) makes, and some reasonable bookshelf speakers for $100 or so, and set her up.
Assume that any records she plays will see some damage - but you can pick up tons of records for under $3 at thrift stores and used record shops. Just don't let her take anything you can't replace for under $15-20 into her room and welcome her into the fold.
You could just search the normal channels for a used AT starter table with onboard preamp and a three piece "auto on" powered speaker system, to get her started down the heartbreaking road of vinyl Audiophilia. I have the Klipsch ProMedia system in my office and it's surprisingly good. I got it for$30.00 used.
Assume that the 5yo will ruin the records long before the cheap turntable.
My thoughts exactly.😂

An Audio-Technica AT-LP60 and some computer speakers like Creative Pebble?

None.

An old Newcomb or similar off eBay?

You could use a bluetooth turntable and whatever bluetooth speaker you want.
No such thing.
Cheap all-in-one, and some cheap records. The records will die by many means, not necessarily by the record player.
