I've been able to find Similac formula at some of the Spinney's (grocery store). Diapers they have both huggies and pampers and the wipes. I would recommend getting the toddler carseat as they don't have much selection. I was able to find a graco but doesn't seem as great as ones we can get back home. They do have a wide selection of strollers depending on the store you go to. Prenatal vitamins you can also find. I just haven't seen the materna brand here. We brought over our graco combo stoller but didn't think of going to the light weight ones. I would recommend bringing sippy cups or bottles because I haven't seen bpa free listed on any of them (we had ones sent over from Canada).
Sour patch kids or any of those gummies bring over they don't have any. We are having someone send over welch's fruit snacks for our toddler.
Cereal is hit and miss. they have a wide selection but plain Cheerios are hard to find. They have similar kinds like the honey nut or the multigrain but just not the plain. Its funny seeing the rooster on the corn flakes box or all those chocolate cereals.
You can find juicers and food processors here. They do have some black and decker brands etc. Don't bring any over from home as the voltage won't be correct to use an adaptor.
As for electronics some are cheaper.... some have cheaper quality but there is panasonic stores etc. Again don't bring any from back home. We did bring our wii as it had the correct voltage to convert but we had to get a high end adaptor or it would blow.

-Anything I need to know about bringing my computer there as well, eg downloading Skype before going? Download skype definitely and if possible (say if its an apple) get the adapting wire.

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? There are tons of places to get glasses and contacts. I did this before I left as I use the contacts that last a year. But they do have ReNu solution. You can get this at the pharmacies and the opticals. Clothes can get very expensive but there are shops that have cheaper ones. We do have forever 21, Old Navy is opening, H & M etc. Sanitary pads and tampons they have. They just don't have the large boxes like we do.

Oh you may want to bring over crushed garlic if you use it as you can't find it here... only the fresh kind. Or lipton soup chicken noodle and onion soup. Shake 'n Bake.

The one advice I was given and stays with me is if you are at one of the grocery stores and you found something from back home (like hershey choc. chips or cheerios etc) buy lots of it as you may not see it again for a while.
