A transformable creeper includes a base section and a head section. The base section and head section are positioned generally in a same plane in a supine position of the creeper. The head section is movable by way of at least one pair of pivotally mounted arms from the supine position into a seat position wherein the head section is disposed above the base section. A support member extends across a frame of the base section proximate to a transverse end thereof. The head section includes an end member that is longitudinally distanced from the ends of the head section frame and which rest on and is supported by the base section support member in the supine position of the creeper. A pair of spaced apart, downwardly projecting bumpers depend from an end rail that forms one extreme end of the head section.
