Front wheel lift without center stand

I've got a paddock stand from Aldi that I normally use to lift the rear wheel on my bike. It also converts to lift the front, but here's the thing, I don't have a center stand. I am just wondering if anyone's had luck lifting the front without the bike tipping or getting wobbly. Is it stable enough on its own, or am I asking for trouble?

Eh, as far as I know Aldi paddock stands work well for the rear wheel. If on the front without a center stand? It's kinda unstable I guess. Maybe add a wheel chock or block to stabilize if you want some extra support, otherwise it'll tip over and you won't even be able to stop it from happening.
 
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look into getting a wheel chock or some sort of block to stabilize the front, I don't want to risk tipping my bike over trying this
