As you can see in the picture below, it's attached to a cylindrical post mounted on the bottom bracket, and the frame tube slips over that, allowing the bicycle to lean normally through turns. The bike can lay flat on the ground to the side opposite the sidecar, while right hand leans are somewhat restricted by the upper frame of the sidecar.

Handling is really rather the same as a normal bike, although as my daughter arrived at 40lbs, I began to notice a little oscillating when I didn't keep my pedal stroke quick and even. It may also be due to a little wiggle in the BB mount, which is secured with a wound metal cable; it could probably stand a little retightening.

Anyway, I've been using this for about 3 years, and it has been a joy. I use it for grocery-getting sometimes, and because it will fold up flat against the bike, I tend to use it more than one of the trailers because it's a lot easier to park downtown on crowded streets and crowded racks.
