2014 Tulsa Great Cloth Diaper Change

 
The 2014 Greater Tulsa Area Great Cloth Diaper Change and Eco Baby Fair will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2014, at the Broken Arrow Community Center located at 1500 S. Main Street in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, from 9:30am - 12:00pm.  Pre-registration is now closed, but you can register on site the day of the Great Cloth Diaper Change! 

We have over $1,000 in prizes including a Graco Nautilus car seat ($150 value), Graco Stroller and SnugRide Travel System ($140 value), Graco Pack-N-Play ($125 value) Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair ($250 value), Britax Baby Carriers ($130 value) Boppy nursing pillows, gift certificates and many more fun and exciting baby and toddler prizes!

The Great Cloth Diaper Change event's purpose is to not only break the Guinness World Record, but to also help spread awareness that cloth diapering is truly the best diapering option for your baby. It's eco-friendly and eliminates unnecessary waste in our landfills. Cloth diapering is also budget friendly and will save
families thousands of dollars during the years they diaper their children.
 
The 2012 world record was 8,251 qualifying participants at 189 locations on 4 continents! This far exceeded the 2011 record of 5,026 simultaneous cloth diaper changes!

Some FYI's for The Tulsa Area Great Cloth Diaper Change:
  • Each participant must be paired with a child 39 inches or shorter .
  • The child participant must be wearing a commercially available cloth or disposable diaper and be equipped with an additional commercially-available, 100 percent reusable cloth diaper (no disposable inserts) for changing into. 
  • A family changing two children must have two adults (18+ years old) available to participate in the diaper change. 
  • Per Guinness, ONLY the participant and one adult will be allowed in the roped off "Diaper Changing" area.  Older children will not be allowed in the roped off "Diaper Change" area but must stand outside the roped off area.
  • At the sound of a loud start signal, all participants must remove their child's cloth or disposable diaper and properly put on a cloth diaper that is 100 percent reusable.
  • To ensure plenty of space for all of our guests and participants, strollers are strongly discouraged. The GCDC is the perfect event for baby wearing. Also, strollers will not be allowed in the "diaper changing" area. Thank you for your help and cooperation!
