> But a Toddler plays with a Duplo set for maximum of two years

Do you actually have Toddlers when you say that? They play with them till age 7, and often even later.

And do families have just 1 kid now? Do people not give toys away to grandkids or just friends?

Yeah, our 6 year old niece plays with our 2 year old's Duplos. Duplos we got for free from a mommy group on Facebook.

Also, I'm pretty sure our toddler would have a breakdown if a Duplo broke.

Agreed... but doesn't your toddler have a breakdown about everything, all the time?

Our life is just jumping from crisis, to the next distraction every 15 minutes no matter what.

Mine doesn't, and I'm not looking to gratuitously introduce new sources of breakdowns.

I've got a 2.5 yr old and an 11 yr old. The toddler loves his Duplo's, but doesn't build specific things with them. Just randomly mushes them together.

My daughter who is 11 now, grew out of that phase at about 5. She wanted real Legos and wanted to follow the instructions exactly to build what was on the box. Maybe that was unusual, she is very uptight, but its what I was basing my experience on.
