The old school trick for not pinching tubes was baby powder...
Buy "folding" tires, which don't have a wire in the edge. That helps. I have a method where I put the tire over 1 rim. Use you mouth to slightly inflate the tube. Squeeze back the tire and insert the tube valve. Secure with a valve nut.
Spread the tube around inside the tire. Now put the second bead inside the rim starting at one point and going around 360. Let the tire come back out. You are just making sure the tube is fully in the wheel time. Make sure the valve is still straight.
Now, start with the valve away from you and start putting the tire fully on the wheel. Use both hands and go around the circle at the same time. When you get 50% done, flip the wheel around. keep going until the tire is tight. Use your thumbs to slowly stretch the tire until it pops. Do both side with both thumbs at the same time.
