That softness is critical. Not for the kids, but for the adults who have to clean up after them.

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!

You think so? The Lego bricks have sharper edges and also I think that you put the same weight (of your body) on a comparatively larger area on the Duplos, so less pain. But, well, who am I to argue about your experience. (Never stepped on either of these in our living room although we had both systems).
