Ryanair - Allowed to take in booster seats?

Hello,

Can I please ask if we are allowed to take in booster seats for free for a 9yr old & 10 yr old kids? On their website i cant find anything, it just says for below two years but nothing later.

Customer services say we are allowed but when I ask them where does it tell on your website, I dont get a reply.

     Why would kids of that age need booster seats?

    Sadly height issues. Other European countries have a higher height limit for cars as opposed to 120cm in UK.

     I would email Ryanair but wouldn't expect a positive answer you can then print the reply. They will probably be classed as hand luggage knowing them.

    I'd expect any airline to treat items like this as luggage to be honest, as they aren't needed (and can't actually be used) on the flight, but wouldn't anticipate concessionary pricing.

    Are you intending to use them on the aircraft   or just a carry on luggage?

    https://help.ryanair.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360017825078-Travelling-with-Infants

    Children 2 years and up
    If a car seat is being used onboard for a child over 2 years then the booking for all passengers can be made on our website, but you will need to contact us to add the car seat details and allocate a suitable seat onboard.

    The car seat must meet certain criteria:

    • The car seat must be forward facing, fit in the 42.5 cm (16.8 inches) space between the armrests of an aircraft seat.

    The car seat must be certified for use onboard:

    • European car seat must have a CE sticker and "Certified for use on aircraft" printed on it.
    • American car seat must have a FAA sticker and "Certified for use on aircraft” printed on it.

    Just carry on luggage or if they put in hold, then even better.

    Then normal luggage rules will apply.

    Btw, thank you everyone. Yes, Ryanair did allow. They need to make their website a bit more clear.
