Direct answer: is the LEGO DUPLO Classic Deluxe Brick Box Set (10914) right for you?
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.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 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. The useful consequence is that DUPLO connects to standard LEGO, so the collection carries forward rather than being replaced at four.
Who should buy this
Children from 18 months, in a household that may add standard LEGO later.
Who should avoid this
Nothing meaningful -- though a dishwasher will warp the bricks.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Children from 18 months, in a household that may add standard LEGO later. On that basis it has been the right call. Bricks deliberately too large to swallow, hence the 18 month grading.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Bricks deliberately too large to swallow, hence the 18 month grading. The one thing to know before ordering: Costs considerably more per piece than generic large bricks. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Nothing meaningful — though a dishwasher will warp the bricks. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Holding up so far
Had this a couple of weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Connects to standard LEGO, so the collection carries forward. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Costs considerably more per piece than generic large bricks. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
