Question Why do infant car seat bases have brand names on the inside?

I can't quite figure out why every single infant car seat base I've seen has the brand name displayed on the inside edge. I would think that the brand name would generally be visible, but every one I've seen (Chicco, Safety 1st, Graco, Combi, etc) have the brand name where it would be hidden when properly installed. I suppose one might be able to get a tiny peek at the Graco name on the SnugRide base since it's slanted. About the only thing I can think of is that when displayed on a shelf and attached to the base with the seating area visible, one can see the brand name.

I don't know why, but I do suspect that better labeling would lead to a LOT fewer mistaken purchases and returns of the Graco bases. People buy a snugride and then buy the much cooler looking snugride 35 base as a spare and end up having to return it, or they register for the wrong one and people buy it and they have to return it. It's just a nightmare, from a retail peon's perspective.

I absolutely agree with this. It is a total nightmare for retail staff who aren't 'into' car seats like we are.
