Okay, this is my first time posting a question and I am leary because it seems almost everything is debated and posters are flamed, etc. so I'm a bit sensitive (my seemingly innocent and helpful responses are usually flamed so I'm afraid to ask a question.) Anyway, at least at first glance, this one seems pretty "undebatable" so I'll give it a go.
I know there are some of you who care for large babies because I've seen reference to it in other posts. I have a newly 7 month old baby girl dck that is about 25 lbs. Her parents cram her into 18 month clothes because she just got them for Christmas and hasn't worn them yet, but I'm guessing if her clothes were to fit properly, she'd need at least a 2T. She has exceeded the weight limit for my exersaucer and the baby swing (outside-the kind that goes on a swingset) so I don't know what to do with her during the day. She loves to sit (if her pants aren't too tight-sometimes she can't sit) or roll around and play on the floor, but sometimes I feel bad that I'm not doing enough variety with her or want to move her so the bigger kids can play with smaller toys on the floor. I don't know what to do with her. She is just a baby, but she can't do the regular baby variety. As history, when she was 3-4 months she was too big for the swing, bouncy seat, bumbo, etc.
Also, she is literally very close to growing out of the high chair. I can BARELY get the straps done and the tray is so far out that there is no way she could feed herself anything once she gets a bit bigger. I am not comfortable with her being in there without the straps, but she is still a baby and not big enough to just plop in a chair. What do I do? I have 2 highchairs and a kid size table and chairs, so a booster seat that goes on a regular sized chair is not an option (the kids eat in a separate room on my lower level and not in my kitchen). I also have 2 brands of highchairs and have the same problem with both. I've asked her mom about it and mom just says that they can't do the straps so they just put her in the highchair without the straps, which works I'm sure but I am not comfortable with that at my house.
She will also grow out of the straps of my 4 seat stroller soon, so I have to figure that out, too. She is just a big kid. She doesn't look all that chubby, but she is the size of an average 2 year old but is still a 7 month old baby. Any suggestions?

For the highchair, I would continue to use the one you have until she really no longer fits in it. She might start to slim out a bit soon, so maybe it won't even be a problem for much longer! If she really does outgrow it, maybe ask the parents to supply one that fits?
