Ryanair - Child with an Adult ticket

Hi,
I wonder if someone could give me some advice.
I have booked some flights for later this year with Ryanair (I know, I know, long story - were tied into almost exact times and a specific departure airport, hence had to take our pick from the airlines and destinations on offer).
On checking the itinerary (booked this afternoon), I have noticed that one of the children is shown as having an adult ticket. I am not really sure if this will create any problems (Ryanair don't have diferential charging for children/adults), and I imagine that Ryanair will want to charge me some obscure fee if I inform them. However, I don't want to turn up at the airport to find that we are turned away (or have to pay some even more exorbitant fee).
Has anyone come across this situation before? Would appreciate any advice on what I should do.
thanks in advance.

Basically any passenger over the age of two is classed as an adult. This means any child aged 2 upwards requires that you purchase a seat for them which classes them as an adult. If under two, infants travel free of charge and you have to have them on your lap!! Shouldn't be a problem as it's a standard fare but might be worth checking the website just to be sure!0

Thanks KB.
Will put aside some time this weekend to go through the intricacies of the Ryanair Ts & Cs. I went through them with a toothcomb last night, before booking, as I know what Ryanair are like; and I don't remember this being covered at all.
Fingers crossed!0 -
Its not a problem- the two of my kids that are under 16 alsways show as adults and Ive never had an eyelid batted at this. And I fly with them at least 10 times a year
Uts just the way the confirmations appear0
