Does anyone have a link to a site that describes how to sidecar a crib?

The site that used to have the instructions and pictures:
http://pages.ivillage.com/gentlegoodnight/ sidecar.html
is not valid anymore. Anyone have an updated link, or other resources?

bumping 'cause I'd also like to know!
We took the front off of our crib & pushed it against the bed. Ours is stable this way because it's one you can convert to a daybed but it didn't feel safe so we ditched that idea. I'd like to know how others do it.

This is how we do it... (I'd take a picture but right now this place is a WRECK since I have been so sick and I have been too lazt to do much cleaning! And the crib is being used more for storage til closer to the new baby coming! LOL)

We have the crib pushed up against the wall (in the corner). We took off the side rail and then pushed our bed right up against it. The crib doesn't move at all and it is very stable... I will try to make it a little more "presentable" in the next couple of days then take a picture for you if you want!

Similar to KerriAZ, we just put the crib against the wall, removed the side and pushed our bed up against it. Our bed is very heavy and the matresses ended up being almost exactly level. My dh wrapped bungy cords around the legs of the crib and our mattress handles to make sure nothing was going to move. The gap we have now is so very tiny that I don't worry about it. I have heard that you can use a pool noodle and shove it down in the gap if needed.

I would take a picture for you but dh and dd are sleeping right now :) . I guess I should go join them.

Ours is sidecarred the same way. We have the crib pushed in the corner of the wall and our bed right next to it with the one side off of the crib. Our mattresses were level, so we didn't have to get anything special to bump up a mattress.
