Are you ready to make a difference?  On April 21st, 2012, the Real Diaper Association 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 319 (and counting) locations currently authorized to host this event world wide!

Natural Parenting Atlanta is thrilled to be an official host for "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 Atlanta!

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.

You are required to preregister. This event is FREE. Preregistering allows us to know in advance how many participants we will need to accommodate. 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 should register as a Guest.

2. Please try to arrive by 11:15 AM on April 21, 2012. 

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 exactly 12:30 PM EDT.
  • 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 and cloth trainers 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.
