We did bed sharing for a while, and honestly we didn't go out or have a life during that time, so I can't give you any insight as to what is normally done.
My LO will sleep on the couch in the evening and DH and I can watch TV or something while she sleeps.
As for doing it ... She will sleep on her own in the play pen for a couple hours at the beginning of the night. So we can have some time to ourselves.
If I go out past LO's bedtime, she goes with me. I have only been out late for special occasions like weddings and holiday dinners.
We have travelled with her lots and it is easy to travel and cosleep. No need for a crib. She feels comfortable and sleeps well anywhere if she is with me.
Re: Cosleepers
Agree that you should ask the AP board.
