Guest room rather awkward for baby carrier (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
surrogate mother
'baby carrier' is the definition.
(a surrogate mother carries a baby)
'guest room rather awkward' is the wordplay.
'awkward' indicates an anagram.
'guest'+'room'+'rather'='guestroomrather'
'guestroomrather' anagrammed gives 'SURROGATE MOTHER'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for surrogate mother that I've seen is " One woman helping another with problem".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
