The boy suffered head injuries and is recovering at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, with family telling 7NEWS he is now in a stable condition.

It is understood a 35-year-old woman was trying to move her car forward to make more room for the pram when she accidentally reversed over them.

Emergency services were called to Brookfield Rd about 3.30pm and did what they could.

“Police commenced CPR on the infant before she was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics,” NSW Police said.

Sadly the girl could not be saved.
