Default What else should I buy from the States before coming to Dubai?

What do you miss the most or wish you had bought/done before going over?

I'm going to Dubai with my 5 month old and husband and am wondering what to bring.

We've got a 1,500 lb freight cargo limit so I was thinking of getting formula, diapers, a stroller (we have one of those carseat/stroller combos and will probably need something more lightweight? Any recs?), prenatal vitamins,
- sour patch kids (for me since I've never seen them outside of the States
- cereal
-baby food? Would I be able to buy one of those baby food processors/steamer/cooker?
-And is it really true that electronics are that much cheaper?

-Anything I need to know about bringing my computer there as well, eg downloading Skype before going?

How about contact lenses? And glasses? Is there anything that's a bit more expensive to get in Dubai than the States? Like clothes? Sanitary pads, etc?

Any tips /advice would be much appreciated!
