My son (almost 2) loves picking up garbage, so I decided to give him garbage collection equipment as a birthday present so he doesn't need to do it with his bare hands and can also collect where no garbage bin is close by.

It should consist of a grabbing tool and a thing which serves as a bag holder with wide opening, so that one does not need 3 hands (1 for the grabbing tool, 2 for holding the bag and opening it wide enough to put the item in). While grabbing tools are easy to find on the internet, I have trouble finding the second since I don't know what I should search for. Look at this picture (I took it from seller pictures of a grabber):

The thing the man holds in his left hand looks like a circle of wire with a handle, and a garbage bag is attached to it. I am looking for such a thing, but such that a garbage bag can be removed/attached easily (I would use disposable garbage bags). Optionally, the thing is foldable/resizable so that it can be transported in a pocket. It does not need to be a circle, anything convex is alright. The handle should be close to the opening (should not have a shaft).

Any ideas what such a thing is called? Maybe there is some fishing equipment like this, or equipment for professional garbage collectors, or just something diverted from intended use?

The closest thing I found are butterfly nets where the net is removed. But those usually have quite long handles, even if telescopic and retracted. Probably not easy to hold by a 2-year old after some garbage has accumulated in the bag...

My son (almost 2) loves picking up garbage, so I decided to give him garbage collection equipment as a birthday present.

For that, I'd like to get a thing which serves as a bag holder with wide opening, so that the bag stays open by itself. Like the thing the man holds with his left hand:
