I changed the tube and pumped it up and seemed to be holding air just fine for days. She took the bike out camping and she brought it back with a flat tire again. She says she didnt ride over anything.
Any thoughts on what I should check next? Appreciate the assistance.

So an update on this. Because it's driving me mental and I'm really just curious!!
Since the initial message, I have purchased new tubes, taken tires off wheels, checked for anything that could be puncturing tube. And even had someone else do the same!
So after buying new tubes, the back tire still went flat. Tried again, but this time we switched the wheels front to back. This time both tires went flat!!
Is this just a cursed bike? Haha. Good news is my daughter will need a new bike in the spring anyway but man I don't even want to sell this thing given all the quirks!!
