Hi Jeff
In answer to your question ,good on you for looking at getting out and about on a bike with your child.A lot depends on how much you want to spend and how you are going to carry bike on car ect.We use to have a mountain bike each but were a bit heavy to carry on the towball with a caravan as well. So we bought a couple of town/hybrid Claude & Butler bikes from a local cycle shop (not keen on Halfords for bikes) very light alloy frames and wheels which we now carry on bike racks on car roof.As mentioned before very light,good sitting position, easy to ride,easy change gears.
Also bought rear bike rack for paniers to carry bits and bobs when out for a ride as you do get thirsty and hungry or the weather changes,don,t forget the bell or horn and the flourescent tabard.
Hope this is of use for you
