"What is Ryanair's policy on the carriage of infants?
If you are travelling with an infant (aged 8 days up to and including 23
months), you can include them on your seat booking by making an infant
reservation on our website or by calling your local reservations centre.
Newly born infants up to 7 days inclusive are not accepted on Ryanair flights.
For safety and insurance requirements, infants (aged 8 days up to and including
23 months) must be accompanied by a passenger aged 16 years or above and booked
in the ratio of one infant per adult. Extra seats cannot be purchased for
infants.
Infants under the age of 2 years on the date of travel may fly for an
administration fee per one way flight - Click here for details, provided they
sit on an adult's lap (One infant per adult). If the infant reaches the age of 2
years prior to the return journey they must pay the applicable fare, taxes, fees
and charges for that part of the journey. Proof of age may be required so please
have the infant's valid photo-id available for inspection (or birth certificate
only if traveling on a route that does not require valid photo-id i.e. i.e.
Ireland-UK Ireland, UK domestic, Ireland domestic or Italian domestic flights)
No baby/car seats are allowed in the cabin of the aircraft.
With the exception of a pram or buggy (which is carried free of charge), Infants
do not have a baggage allowance and therefore any infant equipment such as car
seats and travel cots must be included in the accompanying adult's baggage
allowance upon payment of a baggage fee per item, per one way flight - Click
here for details.
To ensure that all families travel at the best price and receive the best
service we have introduced a number of services to make it easier for family
travel:
* Buggies can be used up to the entrance to the plane (provided that local
conditions permit this). After landing your buggy will be available at the
aircraft steps.
* Infant seatbelts are provided on all Ryanair aircraft and individual
assistance is provided by the cabin crew, if required to ensure that infant seat
belt is used correctly.
* Baby food/milk can be heated by our crew on board upon request.
* Baby changing facilities are available on board."
