Car Creeper...
You know who you are!
 ...Had it with mine, cheap. Been looking at 2 "Bone"s ...First Bone is 75$ second one is 142 $ not cheap! Anyone have one of these or have one they LOVE? Thoughts?

yep..mine is the same as pictured, except it's smooth instead of ribbed and it has a neck pad at one end. Rolls around easily and where you want it to. I've had it at least 10 years and like it a lot.

Hmm, kind of think you want/need some sort of head support.

Get off my lawn!

I have a creeper that is hinged in the middle. It will fold up into a roll around work seat. Push a lever and it straightens out and lays flat into a creeper with a padded area for my head.

I have not used a creeper in about 45 years. I got my hair wrapped up around a wheel . I was stuck like a turtle on his back. Finally rolled off the creeper so I could get my hair out of the wheel. The wheel kept a wad of my hair and that really hurt.
 Since then, I throw a bit of cardboard under the car and slide under. Hair is no longer a problem but I am used to the cardboard.

Someone should make a creeper with a lever that can drop the creeper on the deck to stop it from moving. pull lever up creeper drops. Push the lever down it frees up to move.

A few years ago my wife bought me for Christmas the " tail bone " which is a rolling stool/seat and I love it . At the time I had a scissor lift and in my new garage I'm building I will have a 2 post lift . The tail bone is comfortable , rolls with no effort and with a lift you can adjust the height of the car for the task you are performing .

I have not used my creeper in awhile...I bought a large foam dog bed and it works great under the car...lower than my creeper and much more comfortable too. It doesn't roll around though.

Too big to fail

I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K7F8PQ
I only paid $100 for mine, and I immediately upgraded the wheels to some Harbor Freight 4" casters so it doesn't get clotheslined on a zip tie. It's the perfect height to go with my mid-rise lift.

I have this one. It's okay. Nearly all of my years spent wrenching on cars as a "home mechanic" on my back, have been on cardboard or the cold bare concrete. Nine out of ten times I forget I even have it:
