I must say that I agree 100% with Deidre's point about compatibility between Lego brands (Primo, Duplo, System). My wife and I gave some Duplo to our daughter on her first birthday. It was quite a while before she put her first pieces together but (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.au)
