I think an adult cat might be better for a child that young as it won't mind a little kid chasing it as much as a little kitten would. The cats behavior wont be shaped by the behaviour of your child...so it wont grow up to be nervous or a scaredy-cat.
In terms of breeds...Im not sure what is better, but I know there's a hairless breed that is supposed to be good for people with allergies....
