“Who makes the choice in infant baptism? The infant certainly can’t.”

Exactly. The parents start the process and, in Confirmation, the child completes the commitment. And by the way, the early Christian Church decided infant baptism was the way to go since nothing was more important than making sure a child’s soul belonged to Christ and was freed from original sin.
