DP and I are hoping to sidecar a cot to our bed when our DC is born. I'm just wondering if you need to have one of those special, drop-right-down cots or can we just remove one side altogether?

Also, how do those of you who do the sidecar thing find it? I'm not particularly great at sharing sleep (now that I'm pregnant, I'm sleeping on the sofa bed alone!) so I just don't think I'll cope with DC in the bed with us but I'm pretty into the idea of sidecar-ing.

Thanks for any input.
