What I would do (and have done) is this:
"Hi. I don't work here or anything, but I'm a car seat technician, so if you have any questions about the seats, let me know."
Doing that is totally non-confrontational and puts the ball in their court.
Sometimes they just smile and nod. Other times they say, "Oh, is this seat a good choice for him?" and it opens up a dialogue.
It's my job to provide information to people who want it. It's not my job to save the world.
That's what I do.
I work with someone that would absolutely say something, and insist the child be rear facing. She will nearly go off on them too. She's been around a long time, and um... doesn't care about offending people. She knows she's helped save lives (she's had parents come back to her with the crash stores), so she doesn't care. Apparently she used to wait in parking lots, but doesn't have time for that anymore.
"Oh HAI! Kidz, you haz dem!"

Um. Well. That's a little scary.
To answer the original question, no I would not say a danged thing unless they were chatting with me to begin with. It is not my job to save people. It's my job to help people who want it. .
