    If you are closely supervising at all times and you are sure the area is clear of any dangers, I think it's ok to let them "roam" for short periods occasionally. But again, constant supervision is key so they don't find their way into a place where you can't get them back out of...

    +1 to ink. I think as long as all hazards are removed (including other pets!!) and they are closely supervised there isn't too much of a problem.

    I would worry about roaming outside due to various parasites and pests and wild animals. I do let mine roam around the house with close supervision.

    ya, i let mine wander on the bed or on the floor and just sit there and watch them explore and check things out. the only worries is other animals, temperature, parasites/poisons, and anything a baby shouldnt get into pretty much
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
