My son loves this truck now that he is 4. However, I would not say it is for an 18 month old. It is a bit larger than its original red counterpart and my son was not able to move it himself as his legs were much too short at 2-3 years. It has a footboard which is nice, so you can push the littles without their feet getting stuck but my son was upset he couldn’t do it himself. It is also very uncomfortable to push. You have to lean over so far to not kick the truck as you walk.
