We had the same issue - we had bought a crate that we thought would be great for his adult size... but then read that if the crate is too large, the dog thinks he has a living room, kitchen and bathroom :D So we got another one that was actually a better size anyway for his adult size and it had a movable wall inside of it so that as he grew we were able to move the wall inside. It worked like a charm.
We mostly used the crate while we were out of the house and at night.
