Nonetheless, the number of bags allowed on board varies based on the fare type. The Priority and 2 Cabin Bags options grant you access to the Priority queue, permitting one carry-on bag along with one personal bag to be taken on board.
When you opt for one of these packages, your carry-on bag cannot exceed 21.6 x 15.7 x 7.8 inches (55 x 40 x 20 cm).
The weight limit for cabin luggage on Ryanair is 22 lbs (10kg). Carry-on items should be placed in the overhead compartment or under your seat. Any oversized or heavy luggage may need to be checked and placed in the hold for an additional charge.

Guidelines for traveling with infants and Ryanair's carry-on rules
When flying with a baby on Ryanair, you're allowed to bring two pieces of infant equipment at no extra cost per child (such as a pushchair and a car seat, booster seat, or travel cot). Note that infants do not have a cabin bag allowance.
However, you can bring one baby bag weighing up to 5kg that meets the standard size requirements. This bag should include essentials like diapers, baby food, and bottles.
Am I allowed to carry extra items on Ryanair flights?
Ryanair allows travelers to bring sporting gear and musical instruments as part of their carry-on items, provided they comply with the cabin bag limits. For larger musical instruments exceeding carry-on dimensions, you can reserve an additional seat.
However, larger equipment must be stored in the hold in addition to your checked baggage allowance, with a weight limit of 20 kg per item and applicable fees.
