I know I may sounds crazy but what do you use to track your kids when they are too young to have a phone ?

Tbf I’d say soon a their ok enough to go out (and be out of sight) then they need a phone. What about if they’re out and about and need to get hold of you? Or anyone.
My daughter is 8 and she’s had a phone since about 6 year old, she watches YouTube on it and loves to take pictures, don’t care what people say about her neon young and having a phone she’s my child and it’s up to me.
But qhen she’s playing out she stayed on my street where I can see her, she sometimes will walk round the corner to the shop with one of her friends but I get her to take her phone then even though it’s only 2 minutes away

There was a time when there was no cell phones. Parents knew where their kids were. You need to set boundaries and trust them to keep those boundaries

Google can probably answer your question without judgement
I’d look into one of if kid watches. Gizmo is one I think?
In my opinion if you think that your child is too young for a phone then they are too young to be out without you where they may need to contact you. I don’t think there is any other way to ‘track’ your child unless they have a phone or maybe a tablet or one of those kids watches.

Mine are 6 & 7 and they always have a trusted adult with them if I’m not with them. However, I bought them Apple AirTags to put on themselves/their backpacks so I can see where they’re at — at all times. I can see when they’re getting off the bus and such.
Seam rip the tongue of the shoe slightly on the side, slip an airtag inside and stitch it back up.
I have an autistic child and when she was too young for a phone I got her a smart watch designed for kids. It had school mode where they could only call or text you no one else and you could track their location as long as they wore it and didn’t turn it off. Unfortunately the teachers at school took them off their wrists every morning and my children being flight risks, I was very upset about it and had a talk with the teacher and principal of the school. Eventually I took them out of school because that school didn’t bother with an IEP and they let my kids wander around during class and didn’t find them for hours. Flight risks. Which is why I had the watches to begin with but they weren’t allowed to have them in class even though they were flight risks 
Life 360 has these tag things 
. I guess hook it to your kid
We have an angelsense device
I’m glad you asked this, as I’m looking for the same thing. My youngest walks to school, she’s 11. We decided, in our family, best time for a phone is 8th grade. We also do not allow social media of any kind. My youngest is a 6th grader and we live three blocks from the school, but I still worry, as I can’t always be out to watch her or walk with her due to work. I don’t worry about her making bad decisions, it would more be for my piece of mind. If she needs to get a hold of me, the school as a phone she can use, or she can use one of her friends.
They don’t get left unattended. We’re not talking in the 80s and 90s where people were semi not so creepy. If they can’t have a phone, there’s nothing they need to do by themselves. Going to a friend’s house, great. Need something call me from their mom‘s phone. 
I don’t. My 11 year old goes to our neighbors house where his friends live or with his other friend and I trust both mom’s with both of my children. He walks to the store right next door and if he doesn’t behave every cashier there knows me. Everywhere else though I drive him. My 5 year old is always with me though.
maybe a watch? or air tags?
They’re never too young for a phone if 1+. You could try Air tag, but that will not be as reliable. An activated watch could work, too.
