VIDEO: Babies Crawl Their Way to Victory

Clements' Marketplace hosts the 17th annual Huggies Baby Derby on Thursday.

After a few tears and cheers Thursday at Clements' Marketplace, four babies crawled their way across the mat to race in the 17th annual Huggies Baby Derby.

The derby is held each year at Clements' Marketplace, where babies compete in a crawling race for the grand prize—a case of Huggies' diapers.

Parents stand at the finish line and encourage their child to crawl by using toys, keys or food. Babies can be disqualified if they stand or walk.
