My son is 18 months also and he loves the Av. All I have to do is say" Wanna cruise dude!" He starts laughing, says "Go Go Go" gets his shoes, coat, and bolts for the door. When I put him in the truck, first he has to run back and forth on the floor before I put him in his seat. Then he demands that I put on the stereo and point to the mirror till I tell him the temperature, and compass heading. Lately we have been hanging out at the shore. He loves when the windows are down, and the roof is open on the Parkway. Before I even start the truck, he's making engine noises. He has even taken the remotes, and started the truck. He then stands by the door laughing and pointing. Good thing he can't type or we would probably be fighting over who gets to check out the Av. Club. He' so cool!
