Wouldn't it be great if all products had the critical information in the right place -- for example if the gas tank on the lawn mower had the ratio printed on the label? I have an "snugli" carrier that has a label on the inside with pictures of how to put in the infant. I don't really need the pictures since they have also used color coding and other mistake-proofing (such as slightly different clips on each side). However, iIt is right there in case I forget, and when I pass the carrier on to the next parents, they won't need a manual to go with it.
