**Background**

For a topological space $X$, let $R(X)$ be the category of retractive spaces over $X$. An object of this category is a space $Y$ equipped with maps $s: X \to Y$ and $r: Y \to X$ such that $r\circ s$ is the identity. These are called *structure maps.*
A morphism of $R(X)$ is a map  of underlying spaces which commutes with the structure maps. 

Let $\text{Top}$ be the category of spaces with the model structure given by weak homotopy equivalence, Serre fibration and Serre cofibration.
Quillen showed that $R(X)$ inherits the structure from $\text{Top}$ where
a map of $R(X)$ is a weak equivalence/fibration if and only if it is so
after applying the the forgetful functor $R(X) \to \text{Top}$.

In this model structure one can characterize a cofibration $A \to Y$ as follows: 

(i) up to isomorphism, $Y$ is obtained from $A$ by sequentially attaching cells, where a cell is an object of the  form $X \amalg D^n$ and the attaching is done with respect
to a morphism from $X \amalg S^{n-1}$. In this way the pair $(Y,A)$ is a relative cell complex over $X$.

(ii) More generally, we must also allow retracts of the pairs $(Y,A)$ appearing in 
(i).

**Observation**

If $f: X \to X'$ is a map, then pullback along $f$ defines a functor
$$
f^* : R(X') \to R(X)
$$
which fails to be exact. Even if $f$ is a fibration this functor can fail to be
exact since it need not preserve cofibrations. For example if $X' = *$ is a point, and 
$Y$ a based cell complex (which is a cofibrant object of $R(*)$), then $f^*(Y)$ has underlying space $X \times Y$, and although I don't at the moment have an easy explanation as to why this needn't be cofibrant, I am pretty sure it isn't in general.

**Questions**

I am looking for an alternative model structure on $R(X)$, **having the same
weak equivalences (= weak homotopy equivalence) as above,** but which has the property that base change
along fibrations preserves cofibrations. I have a candidate for what the cofibrations should be. I'd like to know if it can be completed to a model structure.

A cofibration $A \to Y$ in this conjectured model structure
is an inclusion which is up to isomorphism 
gotten by starting with $A$ and attaching "cells," **but now a cell is something of the form $X\times D^n$ and we are doing the  attaching along a morphism out of $X\times S^{n-1}$.** More generally, we need to allow retracts of these kinds of inclusions
$A \to Y$.

**Question 1:**
If we define the fibrations by the  lifting property with respect to the 
trivial cofibrations, does this form a model structure on $R(X)$?


**Question 2:**
If the answer to Question 1 is yes, then can we explicitly pin down the fibrations?


**Remark** 

In the model structure defined by Quillen, the quotient space (= **cofiber**) $Y/s(X)$
arising from a cofibrant object $Y$ of $R(X)$ is a cofibrant object of $\text{Top}$.

In the model structure I'm proposing, if $Y$ is cofibrant, then the 
**fibers** of the structure map $r: Y \to X$ will be cofibrant spaces
