Other Ryanair cabin rules worth knowing

Bags must fit fully in the gate sizers; the under-seat bag sizer is 42 × 20 × 30 cm. Not sure? Check at the bag-drop desk before security.
You can take a bag of duty-free shopping on board as well as your cabin bags.
Power banks and spare lithium batteries must travel on you or in your under-seat bag, never in the overhead locker.
Lap infants have no cabin allowance, but you can bring a 5 kg baby bag (45 × 35 × 20 cm) plus 2 items of baby equipment free.
Children aged 2–11 can bring one Trunki or similar case, even if it's bigger than the under-seat bag limit.
Even with Priority & 2 Cabin Bags, your 10 kg bag may go in the hold if there's good reason, so keep valuables out of it.
