Welcome to the site! 
I have emptied my garage of all the gear we no longer use. It was donated to another TWT member some time ago.
Basic dirt gear for kids is not real expensive even if you buy it new. Of course, you can blow a LOT of money on gear, but you don't have to
You can find suitable helmets for $50-100, elbow and knee pads for $15-25, and gloves for $10-20. Boots might set you back the most, but even those can be had for around $100. I would not wast time with jerseys and pants. Just put the kid in jeans and a tee shirt with the gear I just mentioned. That will do fine for 90% of the riding unless you plan to get into racing. I think I spent $200-250 buying gear for each of my kids. I even paid full retail at a local bike shop since they spent so much time helping me find what I needed.
Here are some pics from years ago of my kids riding that will give you an idea of what I am talking about for gear. It started real basic when they were little, the helmet being the most expensive item. They wore regular "cowboy" boots. I got them real dirt boots later. As they got bigger and started going faster, I started buying better gear.

A Day in The Woods With The Kids
:tab A few weeks ago I took advantage of a break in the weather to clean up the trails we'd made on my parents property. It is only about seven acres, but it is plenty for the kids to ride bikes and ATVs. With all the rain in the last month or so they had become totally grown over and in places...
Kids Day at Bluebonnet MX Park- 03/15/14
Howdy, :tab So recently Ralph posted up about doing a kids day at a place called Bluebonnet MX park over near Lake Somervile. I've never heard of it, but it sounded fun. Camping would be available Friday and Saturday nights. The track is supposed to be easy and good for kids. I have been...
Riding time for the kids
Howdy, :tab A few weeks ago Ralph hosted the Family camp out and dirt bike weekend at the Sterling Ranch ATV/Motorcycle Park near Willis. Daniel and I were able to attend, but Beth, Rachel and Sarah were not. I had this past weekend off and the weather was looking to be spectacular, so... I...
Daniel and Rachel take advantage of the incredible weather!

Family trip to Arkansas before Easter for some riding!
:tab I don't recall exactly when the thought hit me, but I remember seeing a post about an Easter ride at the Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch and OHV Park in Arkansas, owned and operated by Donny "Wildernessrider" Stuart, a TWT member. It has been quite a few years (2010) since I had ridden in...
Some weekend dirt riding for Daniel
Ever since our trip together to North Carolina back in mid June, Daniel has been pestering me to get the dirt bikes out. Last week we took the XR80R apart because the throttle wouldn't turn. We pulled the carb and realized that the slide was stuck in place because of gas residue even though I...
