Turn table for my kid???

My daughter just told me she wants a turn table. That thought really excites me because I hope she eventually loves music as much as I do.  Additionally, I've been thinking of getting into vinyl myself but haven't for fear of the money pit it will become like the rest of my audio endeavors.

So it looks like I can start this journey together with my kid.  Cool.  My question then is what's a good entry level tt?  I assume I will need to get a phono pre, etc?  I would much prefer one that is as self contained as possible.  Ideally I would be able to just connect some speakers to it or connect it directly into my integrated amp. Please take it easy on a vinyl noob.

Thank you and happy new year!

@fastdart69 Well done, perfect choice! If he wants to learn about upgrade path and cheap tweaks etc. have him read the Techiepedia forum on theartofsound British website. A big 1200-loving crowd there with tons of experience. Cheers,

Just to close the loop on this I ended up getting my kid a bundle that included the Audiotechnica LPS-120 and Klipsch R-15PM powered speakers.  I got it shipped for $499.  

We set it up last night and I must say my nerd side really enjoyed messing around with the force and anti skate settings!  I am going to fiddling around with my kid's TT for sure.

The sound was surprisingly good.  The Klipsch speakers sounded warm and pleasing which was all I expected.  The remote control and ability to play music from my kid's iphone via Bluetooth is a nice feature.  Last night I played an original pressing of Stan Getz "Focus" from 1961 and could not but help to enjoying the music.  

Thank you all for all your advice.  Now, I just need to fight the audiophile urge to get my own TT which will undoubtedly lead me down a very expensive rabbit hole!
