    You know they way you cant share baggage allocations do they have any silly rule that says you cant share buggies ???? Will somebody come alone with an angel grinder and offer to split the buggy down the middle ?

    We are traveling with 2 children and it will be easier to bring a double buggy rather than 2 individual buggies.

    Has anybody ever had a problem with a double buggy on Ryanair ?

    Cheers

    i'd be amazed if they gave you a hard time. 2 children two buggies regardless of a double or not.

    (although to be fair ryanair never cease to amaze in the worst possible way)

    I'm not sure that a double buggy is the "easiest" way to get through the airport as there won't be that much space to get about with it. I can't see Ryanair having any issue with it though, just the other passengers that will trip over it.

    slightly off topic but the question about buggy's on Ryanair reminded me of something I saw when getting off a Ryanair flight in Ireland last year.

    It was an absolutely miserable night and the rain was really heavy. Everyone got drenched walking from the plane to the airport. As I came down the steps of the plane I saw that some genius had put a baby's car/pram seat (you know the seat for small babies that attaches to the pram and also doubles as a car seat) on the ground at the end of the steps. Clearly, the parent had checked it in and the staff had then left it at the end of the steps when unloading the baggage.

    We were one of the first to leave the plane and already the seat was soaking. I had passed the woman with the baby on the plane and she seemed to be sitting waiting for everyone else to leave as she had another small child with her too. By the time she would have left the plane the seat must have been completely soaked through. There's no way you could have put a baby into it which I'm sure was a major inconvenience for them especially if it was being used as a car seat too.

    I felt really sorry for the woman. I just thought, even for Ryanair that's a disgrace. They just couldn't care less about their passengers.

    So if you are bringing a buggy - let's hope it's not raining on your arrival!

    One buggy = One buggy. Ryanair have not stipulated the size of the buggy so tough on Ryanair if they do not like it.

    I will regale you with a story though. Ryanair landed a flight in Knock instead of Shannon for weather related reasons. They then had to bus the people down to Shannon.

    Now, the bus was getting fairly full and a woman was told to pick her baby up from the seat so somebody could sit down. She said can my baby not have her own seat(in booster seat at the time).

    The Ryanair girl said NO because the child did not pay for a Ryanair seat on the plane therefore is not entitled to a Ryanair seat on the bus.

    A law unto themselves.

    i'm surprised they didn't get a cattle truck to be honest, and start prodding the stragglers:)

    It is rather than me having to push 2 single buggies and luggage cart with 3 suitcases and 3 handbags (kitchen sink included) while the OH admires the views.

    I called ryanair yesterday to ask if i could take a double buggy as i have a girl at 11 months and a boy at 3. They told me it was fine as long as the buggy wasn't over 90kg. Hopefully this is true
