You want to avoid 18" bikes if at all possible. The rims and most of all the tires for 18" bikes are not very good and are impossible to find any variety on. He is growing at 13 and will quickly need that 20" bike. Just get it now, and by next Summer, if he's still riding, he will be perfectly sized, and already comfortable on his 20" bike.
