How is the flow ? Is it fast enough for a 18 month old?

It wasn't fast enough for my son when he was ~15 months. That lead to him gulping air and throwing up the few times we tried to use this bottle. We scrapped it and got the Nuby 10 oz. no spill sippy cup. We still use that for his milk cup without any issues.

I used it for a 20 month old, to wean her off of her bottle, & it worked perfectly. However, she did end up chewing a hole in the silicone spout, but she was always chewing holes in the bottle nipples, so, it was nothing new for us.

my 16 month old grandson does great with these tops- he still gets a bottle sometimes too. We have the shorter version of this too.

maybe depends on the 18 month old? it is sturdy but there are some very small pieces that might be a swallow danger. you could put those away until the child is older, however. i would think, with supervision, it would be fine for an 18 month old. i bought it for my grand daughter a year ago when she was three and she still loves it!

I purchased these for my child when she was about at the 18 month mark. The milk will flow FAST in these; I would not recommend giving them to a 6 month old. They're awesome when baby gets older & you decide to mix cereal & baby food with their milk. I believe NUK has 3 different sizes. If you're going to give it to a 6 month old, I'd go down one size from fast flow.

My 8 month old has pulled it down on top of her holding the handle. She is warry of it now. However, It is well made. She loves to ride inside. We push around baby and a jug of water and share with older kids on the block while they ride bikes.

No problems with a very active 18 month old. She adores it - carries it around as well as riding it. Very robust toy.

I think so. There's a little more of a bump on the way down that facilitates speed. It's a ton of fun and really safe. Even though I used the word "speed" it's really quite manageable. My kids (1 year old and 4 years old) absolutely love it.

we have preme twins and found that is has the best flow rate for them we have used them from the time they were able to feed from a bottle. they are now nine months and still use them

We bought this initially when our son was about 18 months, but now he is three and is still using it, and our one-year-old can climb into it as well. I would guess that we will be able to use it till about age four or five.

It really moves. My son is 14 and was way impressed with how fast it goes. I would estimate 25-30 which on water is moving...

My son is 4 months/ 18lbs and 25 inches. His feet hang off the end and we have to use it on 6 (the highest setting). It still moves smoothly but it's MUCH slower than it was when he was small.

The flow seems to be just right . Our grandaughter loves it. The nipples don't last long but it is reasonable

Yes, it flows very well. Make sure you don't store anything on it that might obstruct the air holes ( such as a little sisters glitter case) I would recommend having a table cloth to cover it between uses. Kids always seem to put things on top.

FYI ~ for the speed that it goes, and the size, we just bought this for our About-to-Turn 2 year old.

Yes it is a slow flow. My son has been using it since he was born and still loves it at 4 month old

Hi, I just bought this for my 18 month old and I was worried about him outgrowing it too soon also and it being too young, but he adores it... but the surprise was...so does his SIX year old brother LOL. Ok, it's not going to hold the six year old's attention for very long, but he got on it and bounced around. The weight of the child pushes the zebra down and allows it to spin (if she were standing next to it w/o pushing down, it would not move round) so by sitting on it my 6 year old spun himself in one full circle just to 'see if he could'. They say the age goes up to about 36 months and the weight capacity is 43 lbs (my 6 year old is 41 lbs, just went to the annual checkup) It has been fun for the little one and is something nice and active for him to do now that the weather has turned cold and we can't go outside. I've spent more money on things we've used for a shorter amount of time and I really like this product :)

My daughter was 20 months when we used it last and was around 25 pounds. Weight wise she was OK but at her age I would not say it was any good. It is almost arms length for the child to reach over the sides to reach the water causing it to almost flip. We always grabbed it before it flipped but I'm sure it would have.
