The invention relates to a forward, left and right following device and a following control method thereof. The device comprises a mobile carrier and a remote control device. The mobile carrier is provided with a forward bracket, a left side bracket, a right side bracket and a driving unit, wherein the forward bracket is provided with a first infrared receiver, a second infrared receiver and a first ultrasonic detector, the first infrared receiver and the second infrared receiver detect left and right movements respectively; the first ultrasonic detector detects the forward distance, the left side bracket is provided with a second ultrasonic detector, a third ultrasonic detector and a third infrared receiver, the second ultrasonic detector and the third ultrasonic detector detect left and right movements respectively; and the right side bracket is provided with a fourth ultrasonic detector, a fifth ultrasonic detector and a fourth infrared receiver, and the fourth ultrasonic detector and the fifth ultrasonic detector detect left and right movements respectively. The remote control device is provided with at least one infrared transmitter which is in signal matching with the first infrared receiver, the second infrared receiver, the third infrared receiver and the fourth infrared receiver. When a user is located in front of the mobile carrier, the forward bracket can carry out forward distance detection and left and right movement detection; and when the user is located at the left side or the right side of the mobile carrier, the left side bracket and the right side bracket can carry out detection for the distance between the user and the mobile carrier and detection for the left and right movements.
