| Another consideration with new carpet . . . if you have any pets.  I know with birds, their respiratory systems are very sensitive to chemicals and I've been cautioned about carpets especially. 
 In any case, I would go with the recommendation to have it installed at a time with you can air the room(s) out for a few days before any living creatures spend any time in there.
 
 You're right, though, you'd think that carpet would be safe from Day 1.
