We had carpets installed in the wintertime. I was away at school at the time so I didn't have to deal with the smell, but it bothered my sister's children (3 and 1 at the time) pretty badly. They were coughing and the like for a month. But then again, this was in Southern California where even in the winter you can open the windows more often than not.

I'd wait. And re-evaluate carptes overall. I'm with thingstodo in their advice to go for wood. You can always throw a rug or mat down to cushion your feet, and they won't collect invisible dust bunnies and stains the way carpets do.
