Can I use a 30-Pin to Lightning connector to make an old iPad 3 dock compatible with my iPad Mini?

Hey guys. I had a question about an iPad dock I used for my iPad 3 for the last 2 years. I recently upgraded to an iPad Mini with Retina Display, and I was wondering if I could use the 30 Pin to Lightning connector to make that compatible with my iPad Mini. I'm aware that I could just buy it and then return it if It wasn't compatible But I figure I would use the huge well of knowledge here on iMore to save me a trip. Thanks alot guys for the help

it should work- depending on the dock it might be a little awkward- I know I used a doc extender with my life proof case a few years ago and It worked but it sat awkwardly on the dock- always felt I was putting too much stress on the phones connector and it was kinda wobbly
