Some of my earliest memories are of my mom taking me along on errands on one of those Danish-style up-front child seats. Parents in developing countries manage to cart their children around with no cars, so I'm sure you and your wife will be able to figure things out, and you'll be able to share your love of riding with your future child(ren).
(I swear I've seen a bassinet-style front basket for a baby on a bicycle in Japan.)
