I'm going to point you towards bike and seat combo options that allow for carrying some cargo since you seem to want to go car-light(er) around town. If cargo isn't something you care much about you can basically pick any non-carbon fiber bike that has decent rear braze-ons for mounting a quality rack as most bike seats mount this way. So moving on to recommendations...
SomaYuba Boda Boda - This is a compact cargo bike with an integrated rear rack. It is shorter than traditional long cargo bikes like the Surly Big Dummy so it's easier to manage both on the street and in storage, putting it on the bus, etc. You can mount a child seat directly to the rack for your toddler but as he/she gets older and more mature they can just sit directly on the rear deck (there are accessory handlebars you can add so they can hold on). This is my dream bike right now. Can carry up to 2 kids on the back as well as cargo. Under $1,000, but you'll have to buy a seat and maybe a couple other accessories.If you know that cycling is something that will always be important to you and you are serious about reducing your car usage I'd strongly encourage you to find a way to up your budget to around $1,700 including accessories and buy one of the touring bikes I listed above. It could possibly be the last bike you ever buy, and reduced driving will help recoup that extra cost over time. Here's an example price list of what I would buy if I were you:
A child's seat is going to cost you around $200 (+/- $100) no matter what so that's a sunk cost. Front rack and pannier are such a small price for the value that you get; tubus is one of the best racks so you can save money in this area or omit completely if you don't want to carry cargo. Note however that it will be tough to fit rear panniers AND a rear child seat because of clearance issues which is why having a front rack helps a ton on this type of setup.
The biggest place to save money is the bike itself. you should be able to find a used but well-sorted newish touring bike for $900 or less depending on your market. But if you buy new from a reputable LBS they will do a proper fit for you and get you on the right size frame with a comfortable setup that will let you ride all day without issue - you can't get this buying used and it's definitely worth the money if you don't already have a very good idea what size frame you best fit (i.e. seat tube length, effective top tube length, reach, handlebar height, etc.).
Good luck!
