ABOUT

Concept

A mind-blowing fact
Babies move way more than their parents realise – over 3km* in a single day.
*New York University

A diaper range designed specifically for moving babies

With special features that keep moving babies ultra-comfy, plus a choice of fit depending on your preference, Huggies® diapers are the perfect gear for little athletes.

Four ridiculously cute babies

In order to put Huggies® diapers to the test, and simultaneously prove just how much babies actually move, we chose four babies and gave them an audacious goal… Twenty-one adult-length kilometers.

Execution

The world’s most epic race

Made possible by the data collected by their custom-designed distance-tracking devices, the babies were able to race one another on our online race course, in real time, from the comfort of their own homes. Their progress was packaged in four episodes, which were released across multiple digital platforms, until the first baby crossed the finish line 5.8 days later.
