I was currently using a small roll type seat for my detailing duties.Something like this:

It did the job but had to really bend over to get to the lower parts of the vehicle to wash,correct,polish,wax ect..

Well I did some searching for something to use that would be a little more comfortable while detailing.
I found this:

It's called the "RACATAC" and this thing is EXTREAMELY comfortable.It has excellent maneuverability with these 3" casters:

The way you use it is,you sit/kneel at the same time.The seat is very padded for comfort:

and adjusts your body to which ever angle feels best:

also where your knee's go,it's padded with replaceable pads:

The frame is made of aluminum and the whole unit weighs about 8lbs.
I way 235lbs and the RACATAC supports me (with-out a creek) and maneuvers very freely.
It even comes with a small tool tray under the seat,thou I really can only see using this for MF's,wash media,and other small item's that would fit there.

I am very happy with the fit and feel of the RACATAC :props:

Interesting. I like the design.

I had my heart set on the Kreepstool, but this set up looks promising.

It also has a Chest Support attachment (option) that you can rest your chest on,for even more comfort.The attachment attaches on the same side as the knee supports and is fully adjustable as well.

I wanted to see how the RACATAC felt before purchasing this option.
Let's just say,I will soon have the option.;)

EXTREAMELY

I think you might want to re-evaluate that word if you're going to put so much emphasis on it. "Extremely" :props:

Incidentally I tried something similar to that stool/chair/creeper and wasn't overly impressed with it. I prefer the traditional creeper seat.

I looked it up on Youtube and it looks really cool! The guy was rolling around working on the floor. It was kind of funny looking lol. The only thing is the price...
