I've converted some dipes that were meant to be front snaps to side snaps, no problem. The only issue is working out the placement of the snaps, and if you have a side snap dipe that works well, that's easy enough. I just traced the wing and snap placement on to one piece of paper and the snap placement on the front onto another piece. I'm using the snap placement from my Swaddlebees, but the Dream-eze would work also - only difference is 3 rows vs 4 rows of snaps. And really, so long as you get the snaps in place, minor variations are not a big deal. One of my dipes I had to put an extra top row of snaps in because I had started in the wrong place, and it was too big around his tummy on the smallest setting. 2 more snaps in the top row (1 on each side), and that problem was easily solved.
