flintstones! 
they're fun... barney, fred, dino, wilma, betty, pebbles and bambam???!!!
i think at that age, worring about the sugar and other additives is probably pointless since kids generally get a shitload of sugar anyways....
sooo... why not get one that tastes good and that he'll want to take?

I give my lil girl different kinds all the time...flinestones, pokemon etc.....she is 3 1/2 and im lucky to get her to take on every day let alone worry about what type etc....I just make sure she's eating plenty of veggies and good foods every day!
Chewables ruled!!! Just make sure you keep them WELL out of reach b/c I remember 'snacking' on them as a kid, and as we all know, some of the metals can be really toxic to a little one. I know some folks also really object to more "medicinal" substances being presented as if they are candy because of that fact....so you might be more comfortable with a liquid??? Don't ask me a brand, I don't have any kids!!!
Watch out for KiddieVites with iron....
Chances are that unless your child is anemic, they don't need Iron. Also, I recently read an article (in Pediatrics, I think?) that the RDA dosing for kiddie vites is based upon a 4-6 year old that is 15-30% overweight. The trouble was, most 2-4 year olds of normal weight and frame are now ODing by almost 40%!!! NOT HEALTHY!
Whole grains, fruits, veggies, and nuts plus half a kiddie vitamine EOD should do just fine!
The kiddies DO need more calcium for their bones. Without milk, cheeses, or packed salmon, it's hard to get enought in diet alone. Calcium fortified juices are good except for the sugars......<sigh> Being a responsible parent is HARD WORK!
