STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The present invention relates to carrying bags and in particular to soft-sided hot cold diaper bag having a carrying strap and three zippered compartments, a first insulated warming compartment, a second insulated cooler compartment and a third storage compartment located between the cooler and warming compartments for items such as diapers, clothing and toys; the bag is provided with heating packs and cooling packs to be wrapped about a container such as a baby bottle. [0006] 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 [0007] A number of diaper bags are known. Most attempt to address the issue of carrying the numerous items that may assist those involved in the diaper changing process, such as food, clothing and toys. Few address the need to warm a baby bottle or maintain the coolness of a bottle. [0008] One Step Ahead advertises a travel baby bottle warming device which uses a hydrated salt solution heating pad to wrap and warm the bottle. The pack may be reused and is recharged by boiling and cooling the heating pad. [0009] U.S. Pat. No. 5,318,107, issued Jun. 7, 1994 to Bell, shows a carrying bag that has a frame of rigid pieces secured together in three-dimensional shape, and panels are secured thereto forming a bottom side wall, end wall, and a pair of top closure panels, the latter being angled forming a gable roof type top. The panels are of limited flexibility enabling them to be bent about long radii. A bottle cooler and an electric warmer are provided, a large central space accommodating a large quantity of diapers forming great heat insulation between the bottle cooler and bottle warmer. The bottle warmer includes and electric cord normally held in a pocket and extendible to the exterior for plugging into a house socket or cigar heater socket in an automobile. The top panels have small sections that can be opened without opening the complete top panels enabling the bottles to be withdrawn and inserted vertically. A changing pad made up of hinged panels is secured to the interior, and is operable to a spread position for lying on a supporting surface, and foldable into a pack that is positionable flat against a side panel and normally held there. [0010] U.S. Patent Application #20040118718, published Jun. 24, 2004 by Karlsson, claims a substantially tubular carrying case, wherein the tube is sectioned into multiple substantially separated transverse compartments for carrying personal items. In one embodiment, the carrying case looks like a golf bag. In another embodiment, the carrying case is a diaper bag. One or more portions of the main body may optionally comprise an insulating material so that the contents of one or more compartments can insulated from undesirable temperatures. In the case where a cool temperature is desired, a cooling pack may be added to the insulated compartments. When warm temperatures are desired, a hot pack may be added to the insulated compartments. [0011] Three U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,705,108 issued Mar. 16, 2004, No. 6,505,479 issued Jan. 14, 2003, and No. 6,427,475 issued to Aug. 6, 2002 all to Defelice, are for a nested cooler system for temporary storage of perishable food stuffs and more particularly to articles for convenient, temporary storage of human breast milk and infant formulas. The inner and outer coolers jointly or independently receive the perishable foodstuffs and freezable gel packs for cooling the perishable foodstuffs. The gel packs can be frozen and thawed several times and temporarily keep containers of milk within an acceptable temperature range to prevent spoilage. The gel packs fit within pockets in the coolers to maintain proper positioning of the gel packs relative to the bottles. [0012] U.S. Pat. No. 5,711,164, issued Jan. 27, 1998 to Slack, provides a portable cooler including a plastic bag or container with inflatable sidewalls into which are placed items for cooling, such as infant feeding bottles, food, soft drinks, etc. Prior to using these items, the sidewalls of the bag are inflated with CO.sub.2 gas, which upon expansion, sufficiently cools the interior of the bag, and chills the food. The plastic bag may also contain a frozen gel package to provide temporary cooling prior to use, and augment cooling by the CO.sub.2. In a similar manner, cooling may be provided using a relatively stiff container having hollow sidewalls and/or a bottom into which may be expanded CO.sub.2 gas to provide cooling prior to use. A frozen gel package may be placed inside the container or in the top portion of the container to augment CO.sub.2 gas cooling. The same technique of cooling may also be accomplished using the expansion of CO.sub.2 gas into the sidewalls of a thermos container. Another embodiment of this invention comprises a diaper bag having a rigid or resilient foam plastic container portion providing diaper bag's baby bottle outer pockets which are used to contain baby bottles. An intake valve leads into the dead air spaces adjacent the pockets, and enables CO.sub.2 gas to be fed therethrough, expand and cool bottles held in the pockets. A top flap is secured to the container and is closed by VELCRO..TM.. strips; the flap closure will secure and insulate the bottles; a carrying strap is also provided. [0013] U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,143, issued Aug. 10, 1993 to Mahvi, indicates a multipurpose traveling bag for carrying personal items and/or infant care supplies comprising a primary bag section and a removable auxiliary bag section. The primary bag section can be hand carried or worn as a backpack with or without the removable auxiliary bag section. The primary bag section has a fold down seat that can be used as a booster seat by infants in a first or infant care bag embodiment of the present invention and can be used as a seat for adults in a second or backpack embodiment of the present invention. In a third embodiment, the present invention is adapted to be mounted upon a bicycle to additionally provide an infant bicycle seat. In all three embodiments a cooler compartment provides for the storage of perishable food items. The multipurpose traveling bag is constructed of a vinyl or nylon covered extruded plastic framework or can be fabricated from vacuum formed plastic. It is therefore lightweight and easy to clean. [0014] Two U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,230,450 issued Jul. 27, 1993 and No. 5,062,557 issued Nov. 5, 1991 both to Mahvi, put forth an infant care bag for storing bottles, diapers, Wet Wipes, and other infant care supplies which comprises a primary bag section and a removable auxiliary bag section. The primary bag section can be worn as a backpack with or without the removable auxiliary bag section. The primary bag cooler section stores a variety of infant care supplies and perishable food items and can be used as a booster chair for dining. The removable auxiliary section provides additional storage space and has a compartment for storing a changing pad. The infant care bag is constructed of a fabric coated extruded plastic framework. A second embodiment disclosed in the infant care bag is fabricated from vacuum formed plastic. The infant care bag is therefore lightweight and easy to clean. [0015] U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,390, issued Mar. 7, 1978 to Stanley, claims a reusable heat pack containing supercooled solution and means for activating same. The heat pack is made by enclosing supercoolable aqueous sodium acetate solution together with a metallic activator strip in a sealed, flexible container. The activator strip is a flexible metal strip having one or more fissures or slits extending therethrough. To prepare the heat pack for activation, its contents are first heated to a temperature above the melting point of sodium acetate to completely melt it. Thereafter, the sodium acetate solution is supercooled. Activation or crystallization of the sodium acetate (with evolution of heat) is produced by bending the activator strip. [0016] Two U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,339,796 issued Aug. 23, 1994 and No. 5,058,563 issued Oct. 22, 1991 both to Manker, describe reusable warmers of the supersaturated solution type that are substantially free of saddlebagging. The warmers also exhibit a more sustained period of time during which the heat pack remains within a therapeutically useful temperature range. The reusable warmers of the present invention also maintain a substantial degree of flexibility during their useful heat cycle. The reusable warmers comprise a flexible container, and located within said container, a supercooled salt solution, an activator for initiating crystallization of said supercooled salt solution, and a gelling agent, said gelling agent being present in sufficient quantity to convert said salt solution to a gel. [0017] U.S. Pat. No. 5,738,082, issued Apr. 14, 1998 to Page, discloses a portable baby wipes warmer and carrier comprising a container with a plurality of compartments including minimally a heating unit storage compartment, a baby wipes storage compartment and a means for carrying the container. The invention utilizes a portable heating unit positioned within a heating unit storage compartment to warm the subject baby wipes and maintain the warmth of the baby wipes for a substantial period of time. The portable heating unit is selected from the group consisting of microwavable gel pack, exothermic gel boil pack and dry heat organic oxidation pack. [0018] U.S. Pat.
