Toothpaste for infants and toddlers?

I used to use Biotene's Baby First Teeth Toothpaste (Apple-Banana Flavour). However, their stock was unstable and prices in Singapore is crazy!

When he was around 1.5yo, we changed to: http://www.iherb.com/Jason-Natural-Earth-s-Best-Toddler-Toothpaste-Free-Gum-Brush-Strawberry-and-Banana-1-6-oz-50-g/17265?at=0
This is suitable for 6mths onwards :)

One of the deciding factors was because this product is ORGANIC, no flouride, no preservatives. It is from natural FOOD GRADE ingredients.

Now that he's older, we've switched to this:
http://www.iherb.com/Jason-Natural-Kids-Only-Toothpaste-Strawberry-4-2-oz-119-g/16292?at=0
This is suitable for 2yo onwards :)

He loves it and will not resist brushing his teeth.
We've taught him to gargle and spit but he does swallow occasionally, so we feel that it's still better to get an organic/food grade toothpaste for him at the moment. Might change when he's older (like around 6yo).
