Getting into the Guinness Book of Records is easier than it sounds. To do this, you only need to hone parenting skills. Which of the world records can ordinary parents be able to do?
Being a parent is about setting personal records every day. Dress the baby for a walk faster, do the cleaning more thoroughly, change the diaper more quickly and stay awake longer while putting the baby to bed. Someone brags about their successes in front of relatives, and someone, without hesitation, enters them into the Guinness Book of Records. We have collected the most interesting parenting achievements that are recorded in this book. Many consider them ridiculous and funny, but mothers and fathers know that such records require no less preparation than Olympic ones.
Dress your child for speed

Dressing a kid for a walk is another quest. While you are pulling on tights for him, your neighbor has time to cook borscht and fry cutlets. However, there are people who manage to cope with this task in less than a minute. For example,
Ahmad Mohamed Ali from Kuwait in 2013 set a world record in dressing a child. He managed to fully "complete" the baby in just 46.88 seconds. True, for the sake of humanity and safety, the man was not allowed to dress a living baby, and was given a child's dummy. Taking into account the fact that the mannequin does not get out of hand and does not ask to go to the toilet at the stage of tying the laces, this achievement may well be challenged by any experienced mother.Put a nipple on a bottle for speed

Such a task requires a certain skill. Especially if it's midnight outside, and the child is bursting with a cry of hunger. Every mother knows that in this case the time counts down by seconds. And it was in seconds in this process that a world record was set. Toy Expo GWR LIVE was held in Guangzhou in 2019. There was a competition on speed dressing of nipples for baby bottles. The winner was Liu Yibo, managing to pull the nipples over 5 bottles in just 26.53 seconds. That is, it took her a little more than 5 seconds for one bottle. Try to practice - you may be able to do it much faster.

Any automama knows that in preparation for a trip, procrastination is like death. Children are very reluctantly sit in the car seat, and manage to throw a real scandal while mom carefully fixes it in the car. It all depends on dexterity and dexterity, because it can actually be done in 29.27 seconds. This is how much time it takes to install a child car seat from a Chinese Tian Peng. True, history is silent on how quickly a man can put his child in this chair in order to finally get under way.

Speed running with a sidecar has already become a familiar competition among parents in many countries. People set records here, as in professional running - they have their own hundred meters, marathons and half marathons. So, the fastest sprinter is considered David Rush from Idaho: in early September of this year, he raced a distance of 10 meters with a sidecar in just 10 seconds. The man waited a long time for the opportunity to break the previous record in this category, because running with a stroller has its own strict rules. For example, one of them is that a child in a stroller must weigh at least 20 kg. David Rush filmed his challenge and posted it on YouTube:
The Dane Andreas Lommer completed the half marathon (distance 22 kilometers) with a sidecar the fastest: in 2019 he managed to run the distance in 1 hour 08 minutes 38 seconds. Among women, the victory in this category belongs to an American Lauren Stroud, which lagged behind Lommer by only 15 minutes (result 1 hour 22 minutes 29 seconds).
The fastest marathon runner with a sidecar is an American Diana Chivakos. In 2017, she ran 44 kilometers in 3 hours 10 minutes 26 seconds. In fairness, we note that Diana is a professional athlete, and did not quit training after the birth of her son. She had to come up with exercises that she can do with her child. And running with a stroller became the most favorite for her and her baby.
Longest stand on LEGO

This activity is very close to the parents of toddlers. From two to three years old, in the everyday life of a child constructors appear, and scattered parts are scattered here and there around the apartment. You can put them together only with a vacuum cleaner, and still there will certainly be the smallest and sharpest detail that will sooner or later claw into your leg.
Miracles of courage and resilience in March of this year demonstrated Salacnib "Sonny" Molina from USA. He walked over the smallest LEGO parts a distance of almost 9 km (more precisely, 8898 m), than he set a world record in this strange activity:
The American liked this success so much that in the same month he decided to set a group record. Together with his parenting friends (only 5 people in the team), he walked on LEGO bricks for an hour. During this time, men (and only males took part in the competition) covered a total of more than 4 km. If you have a similar experience, and besides, you are also a woman, it is time to gather a team of like-minded people to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the toughest women's team.
