Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want a trusted, independently verified gummy with omega-3 included
You want low added sugar for a gummy and a value price
You do not need the widest possible nutrient coverage
You want one of the best independently certified options, including certified allergen-free
You want omega-3 included alongside the vitamins in a single gummy
Your child will only reliably take a gummy, not a tablet
The main thing to know
It covers nine essential nutrients, narrower than a full multivitamin, and the brand lists it as discontinued even though it is still sold on Amazon, so confirm availability before buying.
As a gummy it carries about 4 grams of added sugar per serving, more than experts suggest for a daily children's product, so it is best treated as a vitamin rather than a daily sweet.
Skip this if you...
You want the broadest nutrient coverage in a single daily vitamin
You need guaranteed long-term availability from the brand directly
You are trying to keep added sugar out of your child's daily vitamin
You would rather give a sugar-free tablet
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?

Not necessarily. The overall score reflects how we weight those three pillars, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly.
