Help Set A New Guinness World Record!

Are you ready to make a difference?  On April 23rd, 2011 (the day after Earth Day) the RDA has organized a GLOBAL event, called The Great Cloth Diaper Change, to raise awareness about the benefits of using cloth diapers.  This event has become an Official Guinness World Records Event and there are 361 (and counting) locations currently authorized to host this event world wide!

 

Hiney Lineys (Buxton, Me), Everything Birth (Falmouth, Me), and Kelly Wels (Maine) are official hosts for the Greater Portland Maine venue of "The Great Cloth Diaper Change" - an official Guinness World Record Challenge! The challenge is for the World Record of most simultaneous cloth diaper changes. That's right, you could help set an official Guinness World Record during this global event right here in Maine!

 

 

We hope to see you there!

Hiney Lineys, Everything Birth, and Kelly Wels

How Do I Participate? It's So Easy!

1. Preregister and get your tickets here on this page! Click the "Register" button above! Print your ticket from your email.

It is required to preregister. This event is FREE. Preregistering allows us to know in advance how many participants we will need to accommodate. Tickets are only required for participants in the diaper change. You only need one ticket for each adult that will be changing a child as part of the event. All other family members and friends are welcome to come watch and enjoy the event, but do not need to pre-register and do not need tickets for admission.

2. Please try to arrive by 11:45 AM on April 23, 2011 (location to be announced)

We need time to check everyone in and get set up before the event begins.  Participants who arrive late may not have enough time to qualify for the Diaper Change.  We are expecting a large turn out!

The following regulations are set by the Guinness World Records

3. Change your baby when we say "GO!"

  • Each baby must be changed out of a cloth or disposable diaper into a reusable cloth diaper at the exact time we say GO.
  • The cloth diaper must be a brand that can be purchased by the general public in a retail store or online.
    • Unfortunately, homemade diapers that are not commercially available cannot be used. This is a very strict rule from Guinness World Records.
  • All participating babies and toddlers must be 39 inches or shorter.
  • Each child must be paired with exactly one adult participant.
