GreenPea Baby Boutique to Host Record-Setting ‘Great Cloth Diaper Change’

March 27, 2012 - PRLog -- APEX, NC — The annual Great Cloth Diaper Change Event is coming to Raleigh’s Halle Cultural Arts Center Saturday, April 21. GreenPea Baby Boutique in downtown Apex is the local host for the internationally recognized affair. This year, thirteen countries are participating in the Great Cloth Diaper Change Event as thousands of attendees worldwide celebrate the benefits of cloth diapering in conjunction with Earth Day.

Organizers are seeking to break their own Guinness World Record for most cloth diapers changed at one time; 5,026 participants set the current record in 2011. Cloth diaper supporters tout multiple benefits: cloth diapers are cheaper over the long-term, better for baby’s skin, free from harmful chemicals like dioxin, and better for the planet – not to mention oh-so cute.

GreenPea Baby Boutique will welcome The Great Cloth Diaper Change participants at 12:00 noon on April 21 at the Halle Cultural Arts Center, 237 North Salem Street, Apex, NC. The potentially record-breaking mass cloth diaper change will take place at 12:30pm sharp.

“We are celebrating the healthy benefits of the cloth diapering trend and the fact that more parents are embracing it,” says GreenPea Baby owner Krista Cathey. “We’ve created a fun day of giveaways and prizes and we are inviting all parents that cloth diaper in the Triangle to come to our event.”

Giveaways, valued at over $500, will include a MamaRoo deluxe baby bouncer, an organic Naturepedic mattress and more. The first 25 to register will receive gift bags.  A photographer will be available to capture professional photos of babies and families as well as document the event.

The event is popular, so please secure your spot early. To guarantee a space, you can pre-register online at Event Brite (http://greenpeababygcdc-esearch2.eventbrite.com/?srnk=1) or call the GreenPea Baby Boutique at 919-387-9880. Here are a few tips for The Great Diaper Change participants:
1.   Register ahead of time and arrive by 12:00 noon to sign-in.
2.   Bring one adult for each baby/child participating in the diaper change.
3.   Children must be 39" or less in height to be counted toward the record.
4.   Bring any commercial brand of reusable cloth diaper (homemade diapers are not counted by Guinness records), a changing pad or blanket, wipes, hand sanitizer, and toys to keep baby happy!

The Great Diaper Exchange is a free event but donations will be accepted for the Real Diaper Association, a nonprofit organization providing support and education to parents on the simple and healthy choice of using cloth diapers. GreenPea Baby is a proud member for the Real Diaper Association. For more information on cloth diapering, go here: http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/guide.
