This invention relates to a bag that allows tasks to be performed hands-free, more particularly a diaper bag with additional components to benefit the caregiver as well. A detachable diaper changing pad folds against the front of the diaper bag and folds out when time to change a child's diaper. There is a large exterior compartment on the front of the bag for holding baby powder, baby lotion and other necessities. Under the front flap are compartments designed to house extra diapers. Another exterior compartment houses a baby bottle. There is a compartment on the exterior of the diaper bag that dispenses moist wipes for fast clean ups of the child, caregiver, and surfaces.
Additionally, there is a compartment that holds disposal bags used to dispose soiled diapers. These bags can also be used to dispose dog fesses when a pet owner is walking their dog and cleans up after their pet. There is a compartment for the caregiver's laptop and other electronic gadgets. Also, there is a universal battery charger compartment on the bag for charging the electronics.
In the art of convenience and germ reduction provisions of fast clean ups are not always available. Childcare providers have to pack a diaper bag with all a child's necessities for when away from home. Because the necessities have to be accessed from inside the diaper bag they are difficult to retrieve. If the child needs a fast clean up the caregiver has to open the diaper bag. Often this requires releasing the child's hand to retrieve baby wipes from the interior of the bag. There's also a possibility of forgetting to pack the baby wipes in the diaper bag. Additionally, locating a clean and comfortable place to change a baby's diaper is not always possible. Neither is there easy access to the diapers without having to access them from inside the diaper bag. As one way of satisfying this need, the childcare giver can search for a restroom which hopefully has a diaper changing station. Remembering to keep a box of baby wipes in the bag is another concern. Restrooms are not stocked with paper or wipes suitable for cleaning a baby's tender and sensitive skin. In the reduction of germs people may carry a bottle of hand sanitizer. However, when dealing with a child and a fast clean up is needed this method is not easily nor quickly accessible. Another method a caregiver may use to clean a small amount of dirt off a child may be to apply saliva from their mouth. This method is unsanitary and could cause the child to become ill. It could even be deadly if the child was to contract influenza, salmonella, MERS, and other diseases.

Such as having quick and easy access to baby wipes for fast clean ups or diaper changes without opening the diaper bag.
