Studio Lighting Books

Can you put a light box on the big Profoto Reflector SoftLight?
I am totally new to photography studio. I would like some basic equipment to take pictures of my preschooler and soon-to-be-here baby. Now I have a Nikon D70 with a variety of lenses and an SB 800. I would like to expand my team to include a light box and background soft. I'm just really ignorant. I've heard great things about Profoto SoftLight of "Beauty Dish" Reflector. Also I like the results of using soft light boxes that I see in the books of photography lighting. I do not know how to put the two together.
Sorry, I misunderstood your question before I've edited to change my answer. I think it must mean light box selection. I suppose it's possible to install a light box on Profoto Reflector SoftLight, although it is used instead. I can see that the combination of the two would benefit you a lot, and mild cases usually have a reflector internal / diffuser panel so that would IMO only overkill.
