TL;DR
Fresh fruit and dates are available at local markets and supermarkets outside your hotel. Baby supplies like potty chairs can be found in larger stores around Sharm el-Sheikh.
To reach fruit shops, you can walk past the hotel barrier where taxis wait, but it's cheaper to order via the inDriver app (check the price there first, then negotiate with taxi drivers outside the hotel). There are fixed-price shops — Mango Market and George Clooney — which offer free round-trip transfer regardless of how much you buy.
A baby potty can be found in larger supermarkets or household goods stores in Sharm el-Sheikh, particularly in the Naama Bay or Hadaba shopping areas. Hotels often claim to provide baby equipment but may not have it in practice — worth confirming in advance or bringing your own.
Fresh dates are best found at local markets or shops selling oriental sweets and dried fruits. Hotel dates are often high quality but not available for purchase — you'll need to head into town to find them.
Buying fruit outside the hotel at local markets is much cheaper than hotel prices. Bargaining is expected and it's worth checking quality before buying.
