Hi,
I can think of three different solution (all custom solution)
Use Powershell Cmdlet to activate feature to all sub sites
Upgrade your solution to Site Collection scope, However all subsites under the root will have access to the features, which you may want to restrict based on your requirement
create a site scoped solution feature to activate the web scoped features, this will give you more control and easier management of all your features
