Looking over some old product catalogues from the seventies, Duplo products
used to be listed as ages 1 to 3 and the classic creator sets started at 3.
Now I see Duplo / Explorer sets starting at anywhere from 1.5 to 3 years old
as the minimum age, with creator sets starting at 5. I thought that part of
the reason behind the original Duplo line was due to product safety's
testing using the windpipe test. Doesn’t a 2 x 2 Duplo brick pass this test?
I know that no one at LEGO will endorse having an eight month old play with
Duplos, but aside from the bath tug boat, Primos are no long holding my
son's interest. Obviously supervision is required with all products, but
couldn’t a Primo be chipped or broken and pose a choking hazard?

There are lots of Primo/Baby stacking toys available. Also, check out the new Explorer musical toys. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.primo)
