Where are you flying from? Are you transiting in Dubai?

You can gate check your stroller, but it will typically be delivered with at baggage claim at your final destination (not upon disembarking).

At check-in, Emirates can tag the stroller and will typically (depending on the station) have a big heavy duty clear plastic bag to put the stroller in. You can take the plastic bag with you till the gate.

If you are transiting in Dubai, Emirates provides strollers for you to use. They are everywhere around the terminal. They the classic MacLaren strollers (bright red, branded emirates) - look for them when you get off the plane or ask one ground staff.

When we've traveled with little ones, we go the baby bjorn / ergo carrier route. We often check the stroller in with the luggage. The baby carriers provide a "hands free" solution. We find the strollers to be a hassle (taking baby in/out, security, escalators, etc). The strollers are useful if the baby needs to sleep at a long transit stop, but the MacLaren strollers in Dubai are adequate (though not as nice as the bugaboo).
