I avoid any and all peat-based prodcuts for indoor growing.
But that's just me.

Everyone does it different so if the bag says it's good for seedlings, I would assume it is. I think peat is good for seedlings cause it holds moisture which seedlings need. But since you only have a few days to go, you might as well wait if it makes you feel more comfortable. I'm just pointing out that I would not hesitate to put my seedlings in peat and perlite.
