Abstract

Apparatus and methods for changing diapers are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a bag member partially enclosing an interior region and an outer surface having at least one first securing member formed thereon. A changing mat is operatively coupled to the outer surface and has at least one second securing member formed thereon. The changing mat is deployable between a closed position wherein the first and second securing members are engageable and the changing mat occupies a stowed position proximate to the outer surface of the bag member, and an open position wherein the changing mat is unfolded to provide an elongated changing surface. The bag member remains substantially unchanged during deployment of the changing mat between the open and closed positions.
