I've got a cheap Bell helmet and even on this cheapie, there are ways to adjust the fore/aft straps on either side to position the fastener further forward or rearward under my chin. What kind of helmet do you have? On my helmet, the forward strap and rear strap come together in one of those double-slotted adjustable plastic thingies--to move the fastening location forward, I loosen the rear and tighten up the front where it goes through that thing.
