The bins themselves are great, but the lids a) aren't waterproof and
b) take an awful set (sag) if you put even moderate loads on top for
any length of time.  They look as though they'd stack, but the tops
won't stand it.  Doesn't make them useless, but cramps their style.

Certain cat food and cat litter come in rectangular plastic buckets
with bails and hinged lids.  Don't know if they'd stow under a Westy
seat (my White Star seat/bed is definitely lower than the Westy, the
small PortaPotti won't fit under it) but they're easy to carry, they
snap-seal, and they nest (empty) if you take the lids off.
