Child backpack carrier on Ryanair

Hi,
I have searched for days and could not find the answer to my query :
Can I take my daughter in a backpack carrier on Ryanair for free ?
( I have Deuter Kid Comfort Baby carrier )

It is not specified in their T&C. In the past she was in the pushchair which was free. Ryanair mentions that mobility equipment is free of charge, but does not specify what qualifies as a mobility equipment.

Can anyone help ? Thanks !

    Only if she fits in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you but in honesty I think she'll get spotted when they put the bag through the X-ray in security.

    Jeez I thought I was tight. :p

Gosh, I naively believed there are good people out there who could help....

    As a non 'native English speaker' I must compliment you on your English which is excellent. By the way that's quite a backpack, I'd stick a couple of small wheels on the bottom and tell them it's a pushchair (honestly I would).

    I thought it was quite a funny light hearted reply. We are really quite friendly here and Bob was not being nasty.

    The only way you are going to know for sure is to contact them. They should be able to tell you in an appropriate manor.

    Mobility equipment is free of charge but the infant isnt.

    I think what Ryanair mean is that you pay the infant charge and then they basically tell you that the pushchair is free, but really and deep down, you are paying for the pushchair to be put in the hold. But if we tell you the infant is at a charge, then there is no way of getting out of it, you cannot use the excuse of - 'i am not taking a pushchair' so OP will probably have to pay.
    Happy :)
