I don't see why it shouldn't/wouldn't work! GroBaby/GroVia inserts and shells have snaps on them. Maybe with metal snaps though, as they seem to lie a bit more flush with the fabric...

I forgot to have one of the diapers converted and we don't even bother using it anymore as my 2 year old can get it off in under a second. Incredibly worth the money. She did a really really good job. My parents actually lived about 45 minutes away from her so I just dropped them off and picked them up to save on shipping. Highly rec'd doing it. Marcy-

I want to put snaps on my gDiapers, which seems to be a bit more involved than the BGs (tutorials I've seen require a sewing machine...) so I might prefer to have someone more experienced to do them, but don't know how to find them...?

If you wanted, maybe you could just hand sew a strip of microfleece over the line of snaps, if it really bothers you. I have BG pockets, as well as a bunch of AIOs, all in need of new fasteners. I'm totally going to try this - my concern is if the snaps will work when they have to go through so many layers of fabric with an AIO. Has anyone else done a snaps conversion on an AIO successfully?

I also want to put snaps on the flip inserts and on the flip covers. They bunch up so much and wont stay put so she (if she goes #2) it goes all over the place and all over the cover so I can't reuse it. I hate this. I have not tried it yet but hopefully I can find some small snaps to use so that they wont be annoying for my daughter.

I have 18 BG 3.0's. I have no supplies to start out with. Can you give me a guestimate for how much I am talking to convert myself. Also any references for sending them out to have someone else do it for me :) Thanks for the great info! Just trying to figure out if this is really going to be cost effective for me.
