You wont get a great deal for a $200 (thats me saying in the over priced market of the UK!!!) so do as everyone says, rent the gear, enjoy the sport for what it is and get the kit at a later date!! One issue in buying second hand gear is that you should get it serviced straight away so theres more money you have to shell out!! Dont settle for less, try a few different bits of kit out and save for it.
Congrats on the new born. All the very best.
