Nuvaring and Condoms

Hello, everyone!
Will using Nuvaring and a condom at the same time increase the chances of the condom breaking? I haven't been able to find anything explicitly stating that it's safe to use both at the same time - the Nuvaring website only says that condoms can be used as a backup method if you start the ring on the second day of your period, etc. and every other reference to using both that I've seen mentions taking the ring out during sex.
I'm looking to use both because I'd feel safer using two methods instead of just one and because I'm worried about the positioning of my ring. While it has never fully fallen out a lot of the time it sits very low, to the point where it's almost (but never quite) poking out of my body. Could this compromise my protection?
