How would you broach the bad seat usage subject?

One of my friends on FB that I knew from when I was a teen (we are more like good acquaintances and not good friends) just posted a pic of the 6 of their kids in their 12 or 15 pass maxivan. Their ages are 10- almost 2 so a little less than 2 years apart (but I couldn't tell you their exact ages). The oldest 4 are in either lap only belts, or lap/shoulder belts with the shoulder belt behind them, no boosters. The youngest 2, whom I think are under 3 are in poorly fitting FFing and possibly expired seats (I believe they might be from the oldest kid and got passed down).

Yikes. They are in FL which has poor seat laws, but still, how do I broach such awful seat usage while still keeping her as a friend?
