That depends on what denomination they are being raised in. Catholics baptize infants. Most Protestant denominations only baptize those who are old enough to make their own profession of faith.

Jehovah's Witnesses view baptism as a personal vow and a very serious matter and have procedures in place for those desiring to get baptized.
Baptism is appropriate when someone who has been studying The Bible reaches a decision to dedicate their life to Jehovah God.
The candidate would be living their life in accordance with what they have been learning from the Bible. They would be active in the congregation.
When they make a request for baptism, and the elders visit with them to make sure they understand the scope of being baptized as one of Jehovah's Witness. They review scriptural requirements for baptism and discuss how baptism is a symbol of their dedication to Jehovah.
In most cases, age is not a factor. Some people do not begin to study the Bible seriously until they are adults. Jesus was 30 when he was baptized. Also, note that John the Baptizer was baptising adults, not children.
However, there are many children who have been studying the Bible with their families from infancy and they have a good Bible knowledge. If they desire to get baptized, they would have to go through the same procedure and demonstrate their understanding of Bible principles.
It goes without saying that babies and toddlers would not qualify for water baptism.
