Cloth nappies for a big toddler

Finally got my act together and have been trying out a few cloth nappies on my 17 month old DD. She's already over 36lbs, so she's a big girl!

So far I have tried a combination of a Sandy's Toddle-Ease and an Airflow XL wrap, but they are both quite tight around her legs and tummy and leave red marks. I'm trying a WamBamboo size 2 at the moment which I like better than the Toddle-ease, but it is also quite snug. I have also tried the Fuzzi Bunz XL - it is the best fit so far and most comfortable for DD, although I'm a bit concerned that it wouldn't contain one of her gigantic poos!

So, advice needed please... Can anyone recommend any other generously sized nappies? Also is there a more comfortable wrap for a toddler with big chunky legs and tummy?

If I decide to go for the Fuzzi Bunz, what are the best, most absorbent inserts - particularly for night-time use?

TIA

I was gonna say WBB but ya got one. That is the biggest I found.

Thanks flamesparrow. The WamBamboo is a lovely nappy, but it's a snug fit now so I don't think it will last very long! What can I say, my daughter is huge...

lol - mine has a huge bum, but the rest of her is fairly slim so it was still a good fit. I stopped with cloth by about 15 months with DD (tried the wbb on her at 3yrs when I was trialling it for DS), so I haven't got much experience.
