I feel like I am limited on what I can do with him. Or maybe I just need some new and fresh ideas. I feel like I am trapped in my house.

Great ideas by all the posters here!
We also have just taken our son everywhere with us since he was a few weeks old. We go boating, hiking, shopping, to the park, to the zoo, to a nearby farm, to the beach, to museums, swimming, to festivals and fairs and concerts in the park (he loves music). DH put a baby seat on the bike, we got him a safety helmet and off they go for a nice bike ride! He and I put on our suits and play in the sprinkler or with the spray attachment on the hose in the yard. I put him in his stroller when he was younger, and in his wagon now, and we explore the neighborhood and look at birds, animals, and flowers.
You're not limited at all, pick something you think might be fun and go for it. Since everything is new to a baby, they really enjoy the various experiences.
Have fun!

What would be the most affordable bike to get that is safe to put a 2 year old on the back?

Hey There - we are looking to get a couple of bikes to ride around white rock lake with our 22 month old son. We are novices - so we just want something decent, but doesn't need to be the tour de france. Also - what is the best seat for the baby to get? Thanks!
Answer
You do not put a child of 22 months on a bike!!! Are you out of your mind?
OTOH your child can ride WITH you on almost any bike with age appropriate compatible equipment
The child goes on/in the equipment, the equipment attaches to the bike/bikes you choose.
Got it?
Generally speaking if/when your child is old enough to hold his/her head up WITH an infant helmet the progression is usually this:
infant to toddler - best solution is a child trailer. Your kid is sheltered, somewhat protected, sheltered from the sun, and if YOU take a tumble the trailer stays upright!! This will let you go from novice to experienced while your child is safe.
A trailer can go on almost any bike. Some will convert from trailer to jog/stroller.
Check with your local bike shop.
DO NOT BUY AT A BOX STORE. Your LBS will show you how to attach it safely and use it and what bikes will be compatible.
Toddler to lets say maybe 4-5 depending on kid. Some manner of rear mounted child seat. Who knows what will be available by the time the fruit of your loins reaches that age. Same principle, go to your LBS and have them show you how to safely attach it to your bike.
BTW in all this and at all stages GET A HELMET FOR YOUR CHILD and you too. Makes no sense for the child to survive and you to be relearning the alphabet. ;-)
5-9 or so depending on child: tag-along trailer. Like a tandem in principle attaches to your bike. Your child can pedal ... or not. But gets the feeling of participating and helps Mom/Dad move along. You know where said child is (behind you). Said child is not likely to hit me or veer all around the trail unless you do that too ;-)
9 and up plus or minus depending on your child, their interest etc now you may be talking ride with their very own bike or some equip a tandem with crankset the right length for said kid (which can be adjusted as your kid grows)
Have fun out there!!!!!!
