Can you share AirTag location with family?
I purchased some airtags to put onto many things, I am wanting to share the family members like we do for location but I cannot find where to share. Please help

You cannot.
Click on this link to find out 'How to reset your AirTag' --> https://support.apple.com/HT212251
"An AirTag can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use an AirTag that someone else has used, they need to remove the AirTag from their Apple ID first. If the previous user removed the AirTag from their Apple ID but they were out of Bluetooth range of the AirTag, then you need to reset it before you can use it with your devices."

Any Update on this? Does Apple plan on making this feature available? I'd love to be able to share my kid's AirTags with my wife.
No one here in this user-to-user forum would know Apple's plans for the future. Nor does Apple read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
The more people who submit feedback, the more likely Apple is to consider making the change.

I think AirTags are great, but it really needs to include family sharing for pets.
It would be VERY helpful for my wife and I to be able to use our iPhones to locate our pets.
Please submit a change request for the next product release.
Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. No one participating in this thread can make any changes or is going to submit change requests on your behalf. You can, however, make such requests yourself:

I completely agree with what everyone is saying about family sharing. We have these tags on our pets and it’s really a pain that we can’t allow other family members (or the pet sitter) have access…an update would be a really helpful tool.
Did you submit feedback to Apple? The more people who do, the more likely Apple is to consider making the change you want.

We're just users; bring it up with Apple here:

I waited so long to finally purchase my AirTags, now I find out NO ONE else in my family can see the locations but me?! I had a bad feeling something was wrong when they came with little to no instructions. My dog and my cat have AirTags but I’m the only one that can see them. So my kids and husband are screwed if they need to find them and I’m not around. Apple needs to make an update to fix this!!

For my dog I would love my children to know where to find her. How in the world do I do this buy more AirTags or is there a better brand out there that we can share with?
As noted elsewhere in this thread Apple Air Tags can now be shared with other people, although that notwithstanding Apple don't recommended that they are used for tracking pets.

I have a car keys that we share with my wife on her Apple ID so when I need to find the keys I need to find my wife first
Thanks for that info PeteHikers. I have sent a feature request. Hopefully enough people will do the same so we can get family sharing on the AirTags!
Send it here:
Apple needs to put a huge disclaimer at the purchase point explaining how disappointed you are going to be with these when you discover that you can't share them on your family plan.

Apple needs to add this to make it worth switching from tile. Most of my tracked items are shared with my wife.
Have you told Apple how you feel?
Just bought four of these. If I knew they couldn’t be shared I wouldn’t have. Guess I’ll have to stick with Tile devices.
Why these are not sharable amongst family is mind boggling. The four I bought are FAR LESS useful. This limitation needs to be in bold print at the top of every airtag advert.
