Stool with wheels

[allanb]

I'm looking for a stool with spring-loaded wheels, which rolls around easily when not loaded, but which settles down firmly when you stand on it.   Does anyone know where I can buy one?

I know at least two supermarkets where they have these for the use of employees.  But they don't sell them and they couldn't tell me where to find one.

They are called "kick-stools".

Try here for starters:

Hi  Allan ,     I think the item that you are looking for is called a "kick stool" they are for sale on Amazon U.K I hope this helps or gives you a start to source one in France

Don't you mean a Suzuki Jimny?[+o(]

They might also be called "kick-step".  Certainly that.s what they were called when I used them in my library..... halfway between steps and a stool - most useful.

For a momment I thought we were talking about one of the vehicles in the Tour de France Caravan.

 

It looked just like a stool with wheels, but someone told me afterwards it was supposed to be a hot-dog.

Ugh! A different meaning of the word "stool" methinks ...

Thanks for the replies.  I now know that the French name is tabouret roulant, and they're widely available but evidently about 50% more expensive in France than in the UK – a common experience, apparently.
