I'm ver happy with the IKEA one. It's cheap, you can buy as many tables as you want (think meat , milk, pesach), easy to clean and doesn't take up much space. You can buy a soft insert to make it more comfortable. It's easy to take it apart and we have on many occasions taken it along when invited out.

I have this one and it's very similar the the ikea one except it has a footrest as well. You can just buy a cheap insert that adds padding for more support.

I used to have the joie mimzy snacker which was much more supportive but it was much harder to clean

I have a boon and love it as well. But op has specific criteria that the boon does not meet. It's not especially affordable. It doesn't have real head or neck support. And the foot rest is small and not very functional.

I have the Oribel Cocoon and while not as cheap as Ikea, it's not too pricey. It's excellent for an infant who needs a little extra support - that's actually why I chose this one over the Boon. It leans back in at least 2 different positions and is very comfortable. My baby fell asleep in it several times and all I had to do was put it further back and he was able to sleep in it. The Boon and Ikea, which seem to be the most popular from $$ to very inexpensive, are both not supportive for infants with weak head control.

You want affordable? get the Ikea one. I'm serious. I have two kids. I borrowed a Graco for my first. Had to give it back. Someone loaned me a different one for my second and it did NOT work for her. I LOVED how some of the more expensive models looked but just can not justify paying that price. Can't afford it now. After researching online I decided to go ahead and try the Ikea one. It is perfect. I got the support pillow & pillow cover they sell for it and she fits real snug in there. I thought she would fall/slump over from the lack of shoulder straps but the pillow keeps her in there snug- and she's a smaller baby. It's SUPER easy to clean. Wipes down so easily. I love the design of the tray- she is able to reach all areas of it. She does not seem to mind the lack of footrest at all and if your baby does mind there are "hacks" to make your own makeshift footrest- you can google it. I was not expecting to like this highchair so much at all.

When I tried to get it online they did not sell the support pillow. Maybe if I go into the store but there are no ikeas near me.
Also, is the tray too far away from a small baby? Does food fall in between?

Are you in the US? I just bought it online last week.

I was worried about the tray also being far- from the pictures it looked like that. But with the support pillow it makes her close enough. Some food does fall when she drops it. I will probably get some kind of mat to put on the floor under the highchair (which I'd probably do anyway). I don't feel like that is a big enough negative to not get the chair though. The fact that she can reach the whole tray, which she couldn't do with the design of the one we borrowed, makes me like this one.

I got the ikea one (with the support pillow for when baby was young) and never looked back! Super happy with it!
They say it's hard to get the tray on and off so I never even tried to- I just take my kid in and out. Try it- it's so cheap it's worth it even if you end up getting a different one!
