my question is what can be safely used to get rid of the dandilions
without killing the new grass that has just started to come up

Weed and feed, or weed b gone, but you'll need to wait until you've
mowed the new seedlings at least four times before using either.

Please stay away from the weed & feed stuff. One usually does not want to
fetilize as soon as the weeds need killing, so you end up fertilizing early,
or being too late with the weed killer. Also, stuff can have a residule
affect on plants that you didn't intend to kill or harm. Can wash into
tree roots and can even kill some trees, for example.

Best way to get rid of dandilions is to buy a tool called, "Weed Popper"
which is available at Home Depot & some Walmarts. Tool is easy to use,
and gets the roots out as well. The first one I bought was called, "Weed
Hog", and it didn't work well at all. I took it back to Walmart and went
to HD and got the "Weed Popper". Works absolutely great.
