You can access ibuprofen dosing charts for children online. Age is not the first determination for dosing. Most charts begin at 6 months of age, then proceed by weight. Checking different web sites, I did however find conflicting dose charts. When dealing with a child I tend to side with caution. The following is a chart I found to be most accurate; http://www.texaschildrens.org/Parents/TipsArticles/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=921
Once a child reaches the weight necessary to be given 200mg of ibuprofen, its a personal choice as to what form to give. A 200mg tablet/capsule/capsule/ etc may be given if tolerated.
Please remember, "more is not necessarily better!" Recommended doses are there for a reason. Taking more than recommended can quickly become toxic and do irreparable damage to your body.
