Jason Paul Cominelli, 32, from Stratton in Perth's east, and his twin brother Murray Dean Cominelli, admitted smashing the windows of the car driven by the two-year-old's mother with a heavy metal steering lock in August last year.
They had driven after the mother's car after another traffic incident in Perth's eastern suburbs.
When she stopped outside a hotel, with her daughter and four-year-old son inside her car, one of the men shattered the windows with the lock.
Police believed the lock had gone through the window and hit the girl.
She received a V-shaped wound running from the temple to the cheek and underwent reconstructive plastic surgery.
Following the operation, a Princess Margaret Hospital spokeswoman said the girl was recovering well.
The Cominelli brothers fled the scene but were later each charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of criminal damage.
A spokeswoman for the Midland Magistrates Court said the two men appeared in court on Thursday and pleaded guilty to the charges.
They are due to reappear in the court on April 25 for sentencing.
