I do not believe that the age of "infancy" is legally defined. It is usually understood to mean from the age of birth up until approximately 3 to 4 years of age, at which time they may be referred to as "toddlers." Using broadly descriptive adjectives when referring to someone's age - there is no legal significance attached to them -EXCEPT- for the word "adult" which is codified in most jurisdictions as being achieved at 18 years of age. Other than that single term, words such as - infants - toddlers - pre-schoolers - teenagers - young adults - oldsters - etc - etc) have no exact legal meaning.
