You left out PRIMO (aka BABY). These are aimed specifically at the 0 -
2 age group. They connect with DUPLO on the bottom and a few
speciallized pices connect with DUPLO on the top to allow a transition
from one product line to another. The little PRIMO characters/rattlers
are fun. Unlike the rest of PRIMO which is rectangular, the rattlers
are round and make great tops when spun upside-down (you can do this
with rectangular PRIMO too, but the air resistance is greater). It
keeps an infant amused for hours. It also, therefore, keeps an
infant's parent(s) busy for hours.
