I am new to the "glider world" as I see it. But this is what I did.
Since, I changed rooms.From my sons' to my room.I put all my nik-naks in a box, except a few. All my papers(junk) in a box, covered all outlets with childproof stick-ins, put tiebacks over all my wires and then taped them behind the appliance they go to, I bought the magnetic strips to cover heat vents, I blocked of both sides of my entertainment center with tall cardboard, so they can't get behind it.But this is for just one room.
Maybe some advice for others: double nail wall pictures and wall hanging stuff. Decrease items you have sitting around. If you haven't used it for six months throw it out.(Garage sale).Cover slips for furniture.(put a sheet maybe over them so they can't get inside cushions).Child gates covered with a cardboard or something they can't climb on so you can give them more space but not into other rooms.
These are just some ideas, I dont know if they will help.

: i have had my two gliders for about a year or so. after the many hours of research i have done i have heard that others let there sg's run freely in their houses.
: i myself am scared to let my babies to run free because of fear that they may find a hole to get in or something to chew on ect....
: what would be a good way to gradually give them more freedom.
: please give me and overview of your normal procedure or schedule
