I prefer front snap dipes because I don't worry about the wings laying flat against Colin's skin. SP size 1 dipes are great - very popular around here. Size 2's are more hit or miss, but I doubt that your babe is anywhere near a size 2 yet.
The SP side snap dipes are pretty decent (for side snap dipes) and quite reasonably priced if you get them through the outlet at www.sugarpeas.com. I like these in the bigger sizes much more than I like the front snap size 2's (in fact, I just sold off a few of my front snap size 2's and have a few more to move out of here).

I love the side-snapping velour-lined Sugarpeas. The seem more absorbant than the front-snapping, but I could be hallucinating.

Actually, my side-snapping Sugarpeas hemp fitted also seems more absorbant than the front-snapping hemp fitted I think it's because the front-snapping tends to droop on DD, and as she is a stomach sleeper, there's not as much diaper to absorb everything? Who knows, but it also seems more soaked than the side-snapping dipe.

I like the side snappers, but I like side snappers better in general. I have a very chunky baby, though. When he was Naomi's age, I had several sugarpeas size 1 front snap dipes which fit great! They didn't have the side snap ones. Why not order a front and a side snapper? Twice the fun! I'm sure a small side snapper would fit for a while, as would the size 1 front snapper.
