When should the infant life vest be inflated?

Explanation:
Inflating the infant life vest as you reach the exit keeps the exit path clear and provides buoyancy exactly when you need it—once you’re leaving the aircraft and entering open space or water. Inflating during taxi, before boarding, or after landing would bulky up the vest inside the cabin, potentially obstructing movement and slowing the evacuation. By inflating upon exiting, you ensure the infant is buoyant as soon as you reach the outside environment and can move to safety without delay.
