A good way to figure out if the seat is at the right height is to ride behnd her and watch her hips. If the saddle is at the right height, the hips won't move much with the pedal stroke, if the saddle is too low then her left hip will be lower than the right when the left foot is at the bottom of the stroke, if the saddle is too high, then it is the other way around. with the left hip dropping as the left foot reaches the bottom.
Strongly recommend visiting a bike shop to have a good fitting done, proper bike fit has more impact on the comfort of the bike than most anything else.
