What fertilizer for new grass planting?

I plan on trying Scotts new coated seed but I was wondering what other
chems/fertilizer I should mix in before laying the seen down?
I live in central/eastern Connecticut.

Get a bag of starter fertilizer and apply it at the listed rate. It
has NPK, but is lower in nitrogen and higher in PK, to help develop
roots. Any brand will do, no need to pay for a name brand.
You're also way behind schedule. You should have done this a month
ago. Or at least a week ago to take advantage of all the rain.
Make sure you keep it watered, including during the stress of July/
August. The extra month to get some roots down is very important.
