CALLING ALL EXPECTING MOMMIES AND DADDIES: Chevrolet is hosting a HUGE party just for you Thursday, July 26.

They’re hosting the party in Houston because studies show that sports wins have an effect on birth rates — and we all know the Houston Astros won BIG nearly 9 months ago! Recently, a Texas hospital reported 48 births in just 41 hours, around nine months after the Astros’ historic World Championship win. SO GET READY TO PARTY!!

Join Chevrolet tomorrow for a BIG Party from 12 – 2 p.m. at Discovery Green in Houston to welcome in this new set of baby Astros fans. The event will feature typical pregnant “cravings” foods (like FREE Blue Bell ice cream and pickles), fun activities, and car tips from safety experts on how to keep your family (and newborn) safe during the summer with car seat install demos, information on the dangers of heat stroke, and more! Find more information here.

And if you can’t make it to the party, here are some of Chevy’s tips on how to keep your newborn-tripper safe in the car.

Chevrolet Tips for Bringing Home Your Baby:

1. Never Leave a Child Alone – It is never safe to leave a child alone in a vehicle. Establish a routine to always check the backseat or leave your phone or purse as a reminder. Chevy’s Rear Seat Reminder can help remind drivers to check the back seat before departing their vehicle. Absolutely NO errand is quick enough to leave a child alone in a vehicle.
2. Use the Proper Car Seat – make sure you have the right car seat, faced in the right direction for your child’s specific weight and height. Keep the fit snug, you should be able to get 1-2 fingers between your baby and the safety strap.
3. Secure Loose Objects – Unsecured items on the floor or in the seat can become projectiles, so the best way to keep your child safe from possible flying objects is to store your belongings in a trunk, storage compartments or with a cargo net.
4. Use Your Tech – Take advantage of your vehicle’s safety features. Available technology like Chevy’s Surround Vision Camera, acts like extra set of eyes and gives parents a 360-degree view of the entire vehicle perimeter, to help avoid any hazards.
5. Don’t Unbuckle – Sippy cups and pacifiers hit the floor, but resist the urge to unbuckle your seat belt while riding in or driving a vehicle. Pull over to a safe location to soothe any crying fits, but NEVER unbuckle on the go. Every passenger should be buckled, every trip, every position.

In case you missed it, on June 7 we celebrated our 100th Episode at an EPIC party on the Georgetown Square….and A TON of you showed up to party with us.

Amazing shot from my buddy and drone pilot extraordinair @jerrod.wittman. This is why we call it the most beautiful town square in Texas. Thanks again to all that came out to the 100th episode party.

The evening began with live music by Colby Keeling, as folks began piling in. Soon, trippers had completely taken over the Square! It was an amazing site to see.

Our sponsors helped us throw a great party! Thanks to Georgetown for letting us shut down an entire street and takeover the Square for a night. And thanks to Chevy for bringing out some beautiful cars and to Lone Star Beer for the FREE BEER that the folks from Mesquite Creek were awesome enough to help us serve.

All our sponsors (including Rudy’s BBQ, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance and Best Western) gave us swag to put in the NINE raffle prizes we gave away throughout the night. Shout out to the little trippers that helped us pass them out!

We also had plenty of Daytripper merch for sale and these cool new Daytripper tattoos for the little trippers!

And of course, Chet got to meet y’all and hear your stories about trippin’ Texas!

And even the elusive BIG BEN made an appearance — he traveled all the way from Big Bend National Park to party with us!

When it was finally dark enough, we aired the 100th Episode Special.

A great time was had by all!

We want to thank all our volunteers for helping us out and we want to Thank YOU, our fans, so much for coming out to celebrate with us and sticking with us on this crazy journey!

We couldn’t have reached 100 Episodes without y’all! Here’s to 100 more! We’ll see y’all on the road!

Get ready folks, because our 100th Episode airs at the end of this season and we’re throwing a HUGE party to celebrate it with YOU!

Join us on S Main St. in Georgetown, TX on June 7 from 7-9 p.m. for a fun street party! We’ll premiere our special 100th Episode once it’s dark enough (around 8:30 p.m.), and there will be raffle prizes, live music, a Meet & Greet with Chet, and so much more! Please bring lawn chairs or blankets for you and your family to sit in the street.

Hope to see you there!
