Lego Baby (stylized as LEGO Baby) is a discontinued line by the Lego Group of bricks and other elements for young children of 6 to 18 months. The line was intended for babies who are too young to play with regular Lego Duplo bricks (1–5 years).[3] The Lego baby bricks are larger to prevent babies from swallowing them.
The bricks' compatibility with other Lego elements is fairly minimal. Regular Lego bricks of the same length and width can be attached to the bottom of the bricks and adapter pieces are also available.
The range has expanded to include sets among others with figures, animals, trains, toys making sound, baby walkers, general baby toys and products made of textile.
Overview
In September 1995 the line was introduced under the name Duplo Primo. The first four sets were #2080, #2082, #2084 and #2086.[4] From 1997 the line was sold under the name Lego Primo, with a yellow elephant logo. The line was extended with 10 new sets. In 1999 the age indication changed from 6–18 months to 3–36 months.
The Primo name was dropped after 1999 because it was feared to have a negative association with the word "preemie", which is a term that refers to medically fragile babies born before 36 weeks gestation.
