Oh, well in that case you are probably looking for some serious input.

So here is what I think:

It's actually a pretty clever invention. My concerns are that it appears to be slightly narrow. A guy who is either a heavy build or, say a forty-ish year old man who has had one beer too many, might have difficult time getting in and out of it. I like the way the seat is bolstered for comfort and control, but keep in mind that the seat also needs to be wide enough between the bolsters that an overweight man could sit comfortably without "oozing" over the sides. I say this because it seems that it would generally be marketed to people in their late thirties to early fifties, since the product is likely to be in the upper echelon of creepers, price wise.

Another thing I would mention is that, being one of the more expensive products in this market, the consumer will expect comfort. I could be the biggest thing to hit the automotive tool industry, but if it's not comfortable, the consumer will not care about it's safety features; as is the nature of creeper selection. I would recommend you design the seat to be firm and supportive with plenty of padding to cradle the user for those long evenings under the car.

The only other thing I would mention is stability. From here the three wheel design looks just fine, When lying down on the creeper, the user should be able to shift their weight from side to side without the creeper rocking on the single wheel. If it does have that problem, I would recommend you to opt for a for wheel setup.

Finally, I would like to ask:

Are the tires are fully pneumatic?
Is the seat back adjustable?
What do expect the price will be?
Have you tested this design for the weight capacity it is advertised for?
What are the dimensions?


Thank you for your time.
