The Great Cloth Diaper Change Around the World


Baby Luv Boutique is the official Saskatoon host for The Great Cloth Diaper Change taking place on Saturday, April 23rd, 2011 at 10am CST. We are one of over 400 locations around the world taking part in this event.

What's all the fuss about? In celebration of Earth Day, cloth diaper retailers and cloth diaper advocates alike are hosting locations around the globe where families will simultaneously change their baby into a reusable cloth diaper. All those taking part hope to set a Guiness World Record for the most cloth diapers changed simultaneously around the world. If all locations have the minimum number of baby/parent pairs taking part, that could be over 10,000 babies being changed into a cloth diaper at the same time.

Not only does it represent setting a World Record, but it represents a much larger goal. For that moment around the world, all those families will make a statement and place their child in a reusable cloth diaper product eliminating a disposable diaper from entering the landfill. It's a very fitting event to help celebrate Earth Day.

This event is not just for cloth diapering families. For those families who currently do not use cloth diapers but are interested in taking part, you can! Happy Nappy Cloth Diaper Service has graciously offered to provide cloth diapers for families to use for the change event. If you are a cloth diapering family, you must use a commercially manufactured cloth diaper sold in an online boutique like Baby Luv Boutique or some other retail outlet. Homemade cloth diaper products cannot be used during this event based on the Guiness guidelines.

There are a number of rules and requirements surrounding the event that Guiness has provided so Baby Luv Boutique is taking a smaller scale approach to the event. We have space for 35 registered babies/toddlers to attend with a parent. Children must measure 39" or less in order to qualify to take part.

To take part you must pre-register and we ask that attendees arrive on time if not a bit early in order for your registration to be processed. Baby Luv Boutique wants this to be a fun filled event so we are working with a number of suppliers and local businesses who are providing door prize items. Registered participants will be eligible for the door prize draws so to take part, be sure to register early. There will also be a FREE Cloth Diaper Workshop taking place that afternoon as well. We know it's Easter weekend but what a great way to start the holiday celebrations - set a World Record and celebrate the renewed hope that spring brings to us all!

Witness volunteers are needed to help with this event. If you are interested in taking part, please contact us by phone or via email. Phone: (306) 682-5746 Email: inquire@babyluvboutique.com.
