Infant baptism does not "impose the gift of salvation upon the child" --it merely provides spiritual nourishment to newborn. Parents are expected to feed, clothe, and care for their children, and that includes caring for their spiritual wellbeing.
The child can only "choose" Christ when he or she obtains the age of reason --around age 7 when First Communion is offered.
