DUPLO exists for exactly one reason and it is a safety one: the bricks are dimensioned to deliberately fail the small-parts test, so they are too large to be swallowed, which is why they are graded 18 months where standard LEGO is graded 4 and over.

| Specification | LEGO DUPLO Classic Deluxe Brick Box Set | Fisher-Price Learn to Walk Zebra Baby Walker |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹4,499 | ₹2,999 |
| Age grading | 18 months and up | Manufacturer states from when a child can sit unaided to about 12 months |
| Safety | DUPLO bricks are deliberately too large to swallow. Standard LEGO bricks are a choking hazard and are graded 4 plus | Baby walkers were banned from sale in Canada in 2004 and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called for a ban. Read the verdict before buying |
| Weight | 1.4 kg | 4.5 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Age | 18 months and up, against 4 plus for standard LEGO | not published |
| Cleaning | Warm soapy water, air dry. Not a dishwasher, which warps ABS | not published |
| Compatibility | DUPLO connects to standard LEGO, so the collection carries forward rather than being replaced | not published |
| Does it help walking | not published | No. The evidence indicates walkers do not accelerate independent walking and may slightly delay it, because the child pushes with toes rather than using the muscles walking requires |
| Height settings | not published | 3 |
| If used at all | not published | Only on one level with no stair access, for short supervised periods, and never near a kitchen or bathroom |
| Material | ABS, which does not soften or degrade with washing | not published |
| Piece count | 85 | not published |
| Regulatory position | not published | Canada prohibited the sale, import and advertising of baby walkers in 2004. The AAP has recommended a ban in the US. They remain legal in India |
| Safer alternatives | not published | A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker, neither of which moves the child |
| Why DUPLO exists | The bricks are dimensioned to fail the small-parts test deliberately -- they are too large to be swallowed, which is the entire reason for the separate product line | not published |
| Why the injuries happen | not published | A walker moves a child faster than an adult can react, and the commonest serious injury is a fall down stairs while in the walker |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
