OPINION

Plaintiff-Appellant Cheryl Houser appeals a District Court order granting summary judgment to the Commissioner of Social Security. The order affirmed the Commissioner’s final decision to deny Houser’s claim for supplemental security income (SSI) under title XVT of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1381-1383Í. We agree with the District Court that substantial evidence supports the Commissioner’s finding that Houser could perform a limited range of light work. Houser’s ability to perform light work makes her ineligible for SSI, and therefore we will affirm the decision of the District Court.

Before bringing her disability claim in federal court, Houser exhausted her administrative remedies by obtaining a hearing and decision from an Administrative Law Judge and by seeking review of the ALJ’s decision from the Appeals Council. The ALJ’s decision became the final decision of the Commissioner on July 21, 2000, when the Appeals Council denied Houser’s request for review. The District Court had subject matter jurisdiction to review the Commissioner’s final decision under 42 U.S.C. § 1383(c)(3), and we have appellate jurisdiction, under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, over the District Court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the Commissioner.

In both her appeal to the District Court and to us, Houser has challenged the Commissioner’s final decision on the ground that it is not supported by substantial evidence. Our review of the evidentiary basis for the Commissioner’s decision is quite limited, however. Substantial evidence is “such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” Morales v. Apfel, 225 F.3d 310, 316 (3d Cir. 2000). Where the Administrative Law Judge’s findings of fact leading to the Commissioner’s decision are supported by substantial evidence, a reviewing court is bound by those findings, even if it would have decided the inquiry differently.

Under this limited standard of review, and for reasons set forth more fully in the District Court opinion, we agree that there is substantial evidence in the record reflecting Houser’s ability to perform light work. The District Court noted evidence in the record from Houser’s treating physician, Dr. Estonilo. Dr. Estonilo indicat *672 ed that Houser could lift up to 25 pounds occasionally and 10 pounds frequently, that she could sit for substantial periods of time, and that she could endure two to six hours of walking and standing during an eight-hour work day. There was also evidence in the record that Houser was able to care for two small children on a daily basis, perform duties necessary to maintain a four-member household, and travel to do laundry and grocery shopping. Finally, the District Court noted that the ALJ considered and rejected Houser’s countervailing contention that she was unable to function due to multiple impairments.

We have reviewed Houser’s arguments that she is unable to perform light work and find them unavailing. Her contentions are, in essence, nothing more than invitations to displace the ALJ’s evaluation of the evidence mentioned above. Houser would have us ignore the evidence of her ability to function and credit other evidence reflecting multiple impairments and subjective proof of injury. It is not our role to weigh the evidence in that manner, however, and we see no reason to disturb the Commissioner’s decision under the deferential standard of review applicable to this case.

We will affirm the District Court’s decision to grant summary judgment in favor of the Commissioner.
