If I had tile all over I think I might just put him in undies and try that route, but alas, we have carpet. Any ideas?

18 mos is
way ambitious. I've known one kid who did this at that age. She was a girl and a second child (two factors in the plus column, upon which you cannot capitalize here), but she also had accidents until she turned 4. I regard it as incontrovertible proof of my parenting superiority that our first was trained shortly after 3 and has had precious few accidents.
Wait until the child expresses an interest in Special Underpants. Without this critical leverage, success is not assured.
