Let me give you Xzins on Ezekiel 18.
God's being accused by his people of punishing the kids for the sins of the parents. They have a mocking song that goes like this: When the parents eat sour grapes, it's their kids mouths that pucker up. They mean that as a criticism of God.
God tells Ezekiel to tell the people that they're wrong. He wants Ezekiel to clearly explain to the people that every person is accountable only for his/her own sin.
Infants don't sin.
Are you going on record here saying that you think that infants sin? Jesus says they're innocent.

All have sinned. -- the Apostle Saint Paul
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. -- Psalm 58:3

Matthew 21 15But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant. 16"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'[1] ?"
Jesus declares infants to be innocent.
How do we reconcile this with "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God?"
One is not culpable until one sins. Therefore, the all refers to "all of a culpable age."
