Best highchair for support

Hello!
We were given an Ikea Antilop when my son was born and have just cracked it out to start weaning. I have seen so many good reviews as well! My son's sitting is okay but he still does require support - he also has torticollis which means a shortened muscle in his neck pulls his head over to one side affecting balance. We have the cushion insert but he can still be a little lopsided. My sister in law told me today that she got rid of her Ikea highchair as her eldest really struggled to sit straight and we may want to get another one. I have read that if a baby is focussing too much on sitting then they're not focussing on eating and can struggle.

Has anyone had this problem? Should I just stick it out and see? Could anyone recommend another highchair?
Thanks in advance!

We had the same problem with the antilop so swapped it for the Chicco Pocket Snack chair / booster as it had a 3 point harness that was also easy to remove in an emergency. It’s tied to a normal kitchen chair. We just shoved the infant support from his carseat into the back.

I can highly recommend the Joie Mimzy Spin. I've been really impressed with it. Our 6 month old isn't quite sitting independently yet and this high chair offers so much support as well as comfort.

It's fairly pricey but I would say totally worth it.
