Ensures the roll is symmetrical, and the child doesn’t roll over to one
side.
Ensures the body weight is taken by the back of the neck and
shoulders and not the top of the head.
A broad base of support is important for stability.
Forward momentum is generated equally by both feet, so that the
child rolls forward and not to one side.
A safety issues. It is important that the top of the head and the neck
does not take the body weight.
In this position, the child will continue rolling forward onto their feet.
