A toilet-seat positioner has a base frame (1) with a first-side rod (2), a second-side rod (3) and a frame-front rod (4). The first-side rod is made to be placed beside a first side of a toilet bowl (5). The second-side rod is made to be placed beside a second side of the toilet bowl. The first-side rod and the second-side rod are attached to the frame-front rod for bracketing the toilet bowl. In the absence of a toilet bowl between the first-side rod and the second-side rod, the base frame can be positioned over a portable defecation container (22) which can include a bed pan, a pot or a portable toilet. A first pneumatic cylinder (10) has a bottom end attached pivotally to an aft end of the first-side rod. A second pneumatic cylinder (11) has a bottom end attached pivotally to an aft end of the second-side rod. A pneumatic pressurizer (15) is positioned on the base frame for supplying pneumatic pressure to the first pneumatic cylinder and to the second pneumatic cylinder through pneumatic conveyances (18) in response to operation of a tank-outlet valve (24). A top end of the first pneumatic cylinder and a top end of the second pneumatic cylinder are attachable pivotally to an aft portion of a front-hinged toilet seat (19) that is front-hinged to a toilet or that is front-hinged to a toilet-seat frame.
