Any fluoride free toothpaste is good for 0 to 2 years kids . Yes, you can use colgate for children of 2- 6 years of age but a pea sized dab of toothpaste must be used. PEDIFLOR , CHEERIO, ORAGEL are some of the brands that you can use for your kids.

Hi for your 2 year old you can use a smear sized amount of toothpaste. The brand called "CHICCO" is absolutely safe even if ingested. The constituents help in protecting and strengthening the developing enamel, prevents tooth decay and is fluoride and preservative free.
As for the older kids above two a fluoridated toothpaste (PEDIFLOR, CHEERIO, ORAGEL etc) can be used about a pea sized amount. Do not use the ones that we adults use as it has more amount of fluoride. All that being said, use the right sized toothbrush along with the right brushing technique. Make sure the child brushes in your supervision.

Hi
*CHEERIO GEL* quantity should be the size of grain for 2 years old and double the size of grains for 3-8 years old.
It has fluoride release in it,which helps in preventing cavities and ensures good oral health,with correct brushing technique.
I hope this information meets your needs and expectations.
