45003: Soft Starter Set https://www.rapidonline.com/45003-lego-soft-starter-set-70-1...
I had loads of fun playing with these in the lego centre (forget the kids!)
Stepping barefoot onto a Lego brick hurts, but stepping barefoot onto a Duplo brick is much worse. Those things look innocent enough, but in the dark they turn into veritable caltrops!
I've seen people use Duplo and Quatro for space-filling when they needed a large amount of structural brick somewhere that won't be seen in the final model. Think having a LEGO city setup that has an underground level.
Also Wikipedia mentions duplex and not duplus, but whatever
ETA: looks like it was unfortunately discontinued: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Baby . This Lego was great for my kid to learn motor skills like orientation, insertion, and removal (along with things like wooden veggies that connected with velcro).
Duplo come from the latin word "duplus", which means double.
Duplo bricks are double the size of lego bricks. This make the sets compatible.
