I would go for the Ikea Antilop, with tray, every time. Cheap, comfortable, very easy to clean. You can even put the tray in the dishwasher if you want to give it a real deep clean. Very light so you can easily move it outside in nice weather. Hose it down if necessary! Legs come off so it's quite easy to take for weekends away. We got one on ebay and one for Granny's house on Freecycle, more to avoid a trip to Ikea than for financial reasons, as they are pretty cheap anyway.
We were given a Trip Trap by my brother and my son, being of quite a rotund build, didn't fit in it with the bar on. I know of a few others who have had the same problem. Maybe it will be useful as he gets older and uses it as a higher chair to eat at the table rather than a highchair.
