To help you maintain a low hand and closed elbow …
Imagine you are taking your toddler on her first ride,
and she is sitting on your lap in the saddle. Through
all of your movements and transitions, those low-together
hands and tucked-in elbows act like a seatbelt
for your little one to enjoy her first ride safely.
