Call your local sporting goods stores and find out if they have (in stock!) a toilet seat that clips onto a standard 5-gallon bucket (they're about $10). One name is Luggable Loo. If they have the seats, they probably carry some buckets. Use a new one that hasn't gotten brittle sitting in the sun (about $6).
They're stable, they're easy, they can sit in the bathroom, and kids and old people can use them with no problem.
Find a garden supply (etc) or woodworking place that has sawdust. Fresh raw sawdust (directly from trees) is best, but sawdust from non-treated wood will do.
1. Line the bucket with a heavy-duty plastic bag that fits.
2. Clip seat/lid onto bucket.
3. Add about 2" of sawdust to bottom of bucket.
4. Keep another bucket or two of sawdust nearby.
5. Every time someone makes a deposit, add a scoop of sawdust over it.
When full enough, fasten bag securely and put it where you store stuff to take to the dump.
