The prepackaged diaper changing kit in accordance with the present invention provides all of the supplies needed to change a diaper for, for example, a newborn or infant, and, when finished, allows the user to secure and discard the dirty or wet diaper, as well as the used moist baby wipes and other left over packaging materials, in a safe and convenient manner.

Abstract: An elongated shaft has a first end and a second end and has a handle fixably attached at the second end. There is also an arcuate solid shovel portion, fixably attached to the first end of the shaft, which has a substantially flat front edge. There is an arcuate rake portion, including a plurality of tines connected by a common base, slidably attached behind the shovel portion by a bracket. The tool can be alternated between the shovel portion and the rake portion via a lever, pivotably attached to the shaft, and a rod pivotably attached to the lever. The rod extends along the shaft to the common base of the rake portion and is slidably attached to the shovel portion by a sleeve located on the shovel portion, adjacent to the first end of the shaft. The rake portion is fixably attached to the rod in order to alternately withdraw and extend the rake portion when the lever is pivoted.
