Various systems and methods relate to an adaptive chair system having (i) a stowed mode in which the members of the chair frame are contained within a compact flexible multi-function bag (MFB), and (ii) a deployed mode in which the MFB is adapted to releasably couple to an arm of the chair to provide a multipurpose accessory chamber. In an illustrative example, the MFB may, for example, fold in on itself in an accessory mode. The MFB may provide various utilities for hikers, for example, by providing a case to receive an inflatable bladder so as to form a pillow. The MFB may receive a thermal liner adapted to maintain, for example, food or beverage temperature. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a rugged, water resistant MFB system in an ultralight form factor that serves as a multipurpose accessory (e.g., to store items), yet provides a compact, adaptive chair frame containment.

At least one flexible sheet of material forms a casing configured to be folded into an accessory bag and unfolded into a diaper changing station. A frame assembly is at least partially disposed within the casing. A canopy is attached to the casing and an arm of the frame assembly, the arm and canopy being selectively movable between a collapsed position adjacent the base and an extended position away from the base to form an open-ended tent structure at a first end of the base. A padded diaper changing pad is disposed under the canopy. One or more pockets are formed in or attached to the base or the canopy.
