Strollers, wheelchairs, etc. are generally kept separately and returned in the jet bridge because they're needed in the airports. On smaller regional jets where normal-sized carry-on bags don't fit in the overhead, they do take those up in the jet bridge and return them there on the other side, but when a plane's overhead bins are full, they typically just start checking everyone's carry-on to the final destination.

I've always seen that with people who have strollers, car seats and the like, though I've personally never had a bag be checked due to lack of bin space. I've had to pack my bag near the rear of the plane while sitting near the front (or vice-versa), but never had it checked except on a little puddle-jumper with no bin space at all.
