Automatically flushing toilets are increasingly common in public places. The sensors they use are somewhat inexact, often resulting in an unexpected flush while seated. This is a minor annoyance to an adult, but can be quite frightening to a small child, especially if they are in the midst of toilet
training.
It would be nice to have a parental override switch next to the manual flush button. When pressed, this would disable the automatic sensor for a short time, perhaps 5 minutes or so. After 5 minutes, or when the manual flush is pressed, automatic operation is resumed. This prevents the sensor from accidentally scaring your child.
Alternate implementation: sensor in the seat that will disable the auto-flush unless about 100 pounds (50 kilos) of mass been on the seat in the last 30 seconds. This implementation also has the advantage of preventing a malfunctioning optical sensor from wasting water.

Parentally proportioned posterior provides positive proof of poo pushing pressure, perhaps?.

I recently had a trumatic expirence with an automatic urinal. It seemed after I left and it started to flush, it didn't trip the drain valve or something and just keep filling with water and didn't stop. Their was a floor drain. I stopped the overflow problem by activating the manual flush button on top of the sensor box. |

//I recently had a traumatic expirence with an automatic urinal// Now there's a sentence you don't see every day. |

well, I wasn't really truamatised by the expirence, but the floor drain is in the normal toilet stall right next to the urinal and the guy taking a shit in there was wondering what the hell was going on. |

Too bad you didn't have some red dye to drop on the floor, that would have really freaked him out. |

I guess now wouldn't be the time to post 'Burping Automatic Toilets.' |

Wouldn't scaring the #@!% out of your child accomplish what they were trying to do on the toilet?
Duhhhhhhh............ |

This would be easy to do. the only problem left after that, would be those stupid bathrooms with cheap-*ss fans that are REALLY loud! You could always bring a hammer along for those, though XD |
