"toddlers are still discovering the concept of balance..."
Toddlers have been so named because they're at the stage in their motor development when walking isn't yet an accurate term for the upright method with which they transport themselves. In fact, for many of them, wobbling is a more appropriate term than toddling. That's because toddlers are still discovering the concept of balance, which improves tremendously during the preschool years but is still a major challenge before age 3.

Posture maintaining reflexes are not fully developed. While walking they take a step forward and while taking the other foot they fall from the center of gravity to earth.

This happens because their heads are quite heavy in proportion to the rest of their body and they still have to develop their muscular strength when they are young.
